Québec Short Hops for FS2004
It should work in FS2002, try it it is free. Do not use the file in the Addon Scenery folder.
The airfield will then not list in your Flight Simulator. Here are the coordinates:
N48* 48.5919' W64* 14.1123'
I also do sceneries and aircraft repaints on special request.
=========================================
This scenery is fictitious
It has a nice wavy uneven runway (sic) for your simming enjoyment. What a place to practice your approaches. A lot of fun to practice, you will soon get it I am sure. Just make sure you use a good short field plane.
Both approaches in the pictures were successfull.
It is not that bad, you will see. I like to use the Tiger Moth on this field because it is fun to 'crab or slip' onto the runway. I do this often with biplanes and other aircrafts who have limited visibility over the nose. You can of course stick your head out 'ctrl, shift, enter or back space' depending which side you wish to go, but here in Québec it can get chilly.........
I like to call those 'fun sceneries' A good place to practice your skills.
The 'pigs' (kerosene torches), stored in the small shed during the day, will be hand lit and laid alongside the runway at night. This was one way used occasionally when someone wanted to do some night flying. Those were primarily to warn of road construction hazards. The name pig is due to the fact that they were very dirty and messy to handle.
=========================================
Québec Short Hops and Québec Bush sceneries are aimed at making VFR flying in Québec most pleasant and attractive as I can make it. So far, for FS9, I have created a few sceneries along the St.Lawrence river and also in the Beauce region and also in the Laurentians. These sites are close enough so you can hop from one to the other using the lighthouses and other aids I included.
I also have made other sceneries for the Montréal region. They are all shown on the enclosed map.
You can upload any of the sceneries, aircraft and aircraft textures if you make a search at AvSim for author Leon Louis.
If you have a special request, please mail me.

SCENERY MESH
I make all my Québec sceneries using the following mesh. It is freeware and very well made.
NOTE; IF YOU ARE NOT USING GILLES GAUTHIER'S FREEWARE MESH, (see installation below), I have no idea what this scenery will look like. It is free, so, try it.
IMPORTANT: THIS SCENERY WAS NOT MADE USING THE LATEST VERSION OF THE MESH. IT MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE. It was made using the mesh mentioned below.
=========================================
ALL THE WORK I DO IS FREEWARE. I do not charge for it . However, since I am handicap partially and cannot hold a regular job, I am sure you can appreciate that DONATIONS ARE WELCOME. Please contact me at the addy below.
==========================================
Thanks to Jeffrey Stanyer for the very nice windsock. Thanks to Jim Jackson for picnic table. Thanks to Tom Fica for those nice old barrel and the Chevy truck. Thanks to Robert Palmer for his nice trees and to Jean Morisette for the nice Packard. Thanks to Jerry Arzdorf for the Champion and to Trevor de Stigter for the Cessna.
I must not forget Tom Hiscox and Brian McWilliams for the program "Airport for Windows" and also Matthias Brückner for the program EOD which I used to make my macros. I thank also Martin Wright for the program DXT and Lee Swordy for the progam Afcad.
I hope I did not forget anyone. If so, I am deeply sorry and please send me a note.
=====================================
KNOW ISSUES:(those lines are to keep the bug chasers and nit pickers happy
Nit pickers and bug chasers are NOT welcomed to send me their comments. You do not like it, sorry, I will double your money back. Just send me a copy of your invoice.
I create my sceneries in summer, recommended for best results. However, sceneries like those two are colorful in the fall.
If I find a way to improve an item or a texture, even if this item or texture is used in a previous release, I reserve the right to change it anytime.

This scenery has been tested and nothing herein should damage your computer or its contents. However, should you use these files, you do so at your own risk.

I do not make money with these files nor should anyone else.
========================================================================
SPECIAL OBJECTS INSTALLATION.
I have decided to use some very nice vehicles and other objects made by Lars Höyer for most of my scenes from now on. These also have the advantage of being easy on the frame rate. This way, I can give you more for your money (sic).
You will need to download and install (execute) his file ONLY ONCE for this and all other sceneries using these objects. The name of the file is: ExtraObjects_v1_0.zip
This is very easy to do and should cause you no difficulty. Any question about this file should be directed directly to the creator, Lars Höyer. His addy is in his download file.
========================================================================
I N S T A L L A T I O N FOR ALL MY QUEBEC SHORT HOPS SCENERIES
MESH AND SCENERY ENHANCEMENT: This scenery was made to be compatible and used with Gilles Gauthier's fine FREEWARE mesh and scenery enhancement. To see it properly you must have the following files. Easy to install instructions in the downloads and it will not cost you a cent.
The files you need to install from Gilles Gauthier are:
WARNING: THIS SCENERY WAS MADE USING THE FILES MENTIONED HERE.
qclod09a.zip to qclod09e.zip This is the main mesh for the Province. It was made originally for FS2002 but is perfect in FS2004 as well.
and,
IlesStLaurentQC.zip This is the St.Lawrence River islands terrain and scenery enhancement (FS2004 only)
You can get all the files by making a search for author "Gilles Gauthier". I suggest you search for the author's name only and do not specify any category. This way you get the FS2002 and the FS2004 files in one search.
CAUTION: I repeat, I have no idea what will hapen if you use the new version of those mesh.
=============================
If you do not have a Quebec Short Hops folder "Quebec SH9" where you usually install these sceneries, you must make one and make also one subfolder named scenery and another named texture.
You should then have:
xxxxxxx/Quebec SH9/scenery
/texture
As many of my textures are repeated from one scene to the other, this will use lot less room on your hard drive. Just thought of another advantage doing it this way; when FS2006 comes out, all you will have to do is paste and copy the whole thing in your new version of FS, activate only that file in the library and 'voilà', you wlll be ready to fly. (sic)
During installation overwrite when prompted to do so.
1- Place the CONTENTS ONLY of the scenery folder in the above scenery folder you created.
2- Then, do the same with the CONTENTS ONLY of the texture folder to go into the texture folder.
3- Place the CONTENTS ONLY of the Addon Scenery folder (if any is included with the download) into:
xxxxxxx/Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/Scenery
4- Place the CONTENTS ONLY of the effects folder (if any is included with the download) in the Effects folder of your Flight Simulator.
You need to activate Quebec SH9 in the scenery library if not already done.
================================
That is all.
Restart Flight Simulator and welcome to "La Belle Province"
Thank you
Enjoy your visit
