FSX Province Of Quebec Lakes Scenery

Province Of Quebec Lakes, Shorelines And Rivers, Canada. Includes territory between N55-N57 and W66-W78 degrees. By Gilles Gauthier.

For best rendering, use terrain mesh for the same territory of the province of Quebec (Canada) in LOD10 (38m) (Qc38mBJ_FSX_*de2.zip - 2 files - and Qc38mBJ1_FSX.zip). To use with QCLacsBJ_FSX (QCLacsBJ_FSX.zip)).

Installation:

1) Extract the zipped file to a temporary directory, making sure that the "use folder names" option is enabled.

When the file is unzipped you should see a folder, called "QcLacs_BJ1_FSX", with one subfolder : "Scenery".
-"QcLacs_BJ_FSX" contains this readme file, animations and map.
-"Scenery" contains BGL files. Labeled by NW corner coordinates or name.

2) Move the "QcLacs_BJ1_FSX" folder wherever you keep your add-on sceneries.

3) Activate the "QcLacs_BJ1_FSX" scenery in Flight Simulator X Scenery Library.

Remarks:

The lakes in "_Lacs_" files have not an fixed elevation. And then, their edge can lightly climb along the sides. To minimize this effect, use my FSX 38m (Lod10) terrain mesh files of this territory (Qc38mBJ_FSX). They come from the same source of data.Source Data:

1/50 000 topographic sheets of province of Quebec.
Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, Department of Natural Resources. All rights reserved.

Software Used and General Procedures:

1- Downloading topographic maps and some orthoimages (1/50 000) from TOPORAMA

2- Processing the sheets with Gimp2 to produce new images according to format used in Slartibartfast.

3- Processing the new images with Jim Kerr's Slartibartfast program. This program produces directly the bgl files with MSFS2004 resample program.

4- Using LWMViewer (V1.3) (Jim Keir) to check new bgl.

5- Creating the Exclude files with FSX_KML (version 1.03beta) d'Innova Software.
