History:
Paulatuk is named after the coal discovered in the area in the 1920's. It is an Inuit community of under 400 people on Darnley Bay above the Arctic Circle. The airport is the first in Canada named after a woman. Paulatuk is also a gateway to Tuktut Nogait National Park which is located 40 kilometres to the east.
Installation:
Place the folder in your community folder. I hope you enjoy the added airstrip to Canada's Arctic!
You may wish to filter out POIs on your World Map > Open Filters > Points of Interest (turn them off), and
for a full sense of immersion, turn POIs off with your Assistance > Navigation Aids settings.
Nice! Just exploring the north and flew in from Tuk. Forgot I added this scenery so it was a pleasant surprise to my route. Well done!

I am working on other Arctic sceneries that are missing in MSFS 2020, when I get time. Hopefully some will help out on your flights in the north!

Thank you and I am looking to adding more arctic airfields that were overlooked during the Canada Update, or abandoned but still usable. Unfortunately MSFS 2020 has not been stable since November for me otherwise updates and new sceneries would be here by now!
