QSH9_58 === CFFT === Île d'Orléans, Québec
Québec Short Hops
C A U T I O N: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ENCLOSED 'CAUTION MUST READ' FILE.
Not tested in FS2002. You should try it if you have installed the mesh mentioned below.
I do not charge for my work . However, since I am handicap partially and cannot hold a regular job, I am sure you can appreciate that S M A L L DONATIONS ARE WELCOME. Please contact me at the addy below.
=========================================
Île d'Orléans is a good size island situated on the St. Lawrence River, just a few nm downstream from Québec Int`l airport. The region is superb as you will notice if you have the suggested mesh and Gille Gauthier's scenery files mentioned below.
The island had gained quite a reputation for the quality of its wooden boats. This inspired my fictitious scenery. I have added facilities for float planes and a grass field a short walk inland.
The region is well knowned for its cultural and historical attractions. A few internationally reputed artists have made it their home. Here is a site to visit: http://www.iledorleans.com/
=========================================
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. The enclosed map will show the airfields for which I made sceneries in Québec.
You can upload any of my 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.

CAUTION: MY NEW POLICY CONCERNING THE USE OF MESH AND OTHER FILES
In all my sceneries now, I use the following FREEWARE files:
From Gilles Gauthier, you will need to install:
"qc09_2K4a.zip, qc09_2K4b.zip, qc09_2K4c.zip, qc09_2K4d.zip" and
"scenes_du_quebec_2k4.zip" This latter one includes all the others like "ilesstlaurentqc.zip" and more.
I also suggest you get file "skiqc.zip" by Guillaume Plamondon. It is most of the major ski centers in Québec (except the Laurentian region).
The above files are the ones I use and recommend to view my next sceneries. On some of my older sceneries made when I was using a previous version of Gille's mesh, you may notice that some items do not set properly on the ground. I will issue revised versions soon, I hope.
SPECIAL OBJECTS INSTALLATION.
I have decided to use some very nice vehicles and other objects made by Lars Höyer for most of my scenes. 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.
========================================
YOU MUST READ THE CAUTION NOTICE INCLUDED SEPARATELY
During installation overwrite when prompted to do so
1- Place the CONTENTS ONLY of the Addon Scenery folder into:
xxxxxxx/Flight Simulator 9/Addon Scenery/Scenery
2- Place the folder "Île-aux-Coudres" as is, with its contents where you usually install your sceneries.
If you prefer, you may transfer the contents of the texture folder into your main Fs9/texture folder.
- Activate the scenery in the library.
That is all.
Restart Flight Simulator and welcome to "La Belle Province"
Thank you and enjoy your visit
Léon Louis
