Hello,

While waiting for the SDK to grow to be able to start building aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, I have started the update for MSFS of the CYMX - Mirabel version that we had made for Dominic Marier, Jean-Pierre Fillon (QuébecFSX.org) and myself for FSX.

As the SDK improves with each release, I think this porting might take a little longer than usual so I will allow you to use working versions that will be updated as we progress.

Version 0.9.0 of 03 Juin 2023:  Due to an error on my part, I had forgotten to add the usual Readme and above all to break down the various components according to the 3 co-authors.

Dominic Marier was the one who forgot, so I apologize to him and hope to correct this error with this new version.

I hope to release in a few days a v1.0.0 with the news excluded to update this scenery with the last WUx.

Version 1.0.0 of June 19, 2023: Since the last MSFS updates, generic hangars and buildings have been causing artifacts. I've just created an update (lgf-cymx-update.bgl) that removes these duplicates. Thanks to R. Lavoie who signals theses problems.

Version 1.5.0 of July 29, 2023: This version corresponds to a completely revised scene: now all available hangars and buildings are created by French-VFR. The old BGLs of D. Marrier and JP Fillion have been removed from this version and will be replaced in future versions by new BGLs recreated from scratch and textured in PBR. Many animations should appear (ventilation towers, characters, etc.)

Version 1.6.0 of January 14, 2024: The name of the scene changes to CYMX-2024. I took the opportunity to redo ex nihilo 2 buildings by adding a lot of details and to prepare an important update. The important update that has just been validated today, will consist in adding Icicles to the many roofs that will be remodelled accordingly. These ice elements will only be visible in snow conditions. The textures have been redone from scratch and in PBR format (the COMP will be done tomorrow).
It is now planned to redo one building per week and update the scene regularly.

Please e-mail me directly if you find any bugs or errors, so that I can rectify them.

Hello,

Here is a very simple guide to creating a POI:

- creating an exclude,
- creation of 3 objects,
- placement of these 3 objects and
- building a stage around this POI.

The set is supplied with the 3D Blender file for these 3 elements as well as the textures and then the detailed step by step instructions to get to the end of the manipulation.

This basic tutorial is easily transposable to other scenes

Ecausseville airship hangar:

Our great friend Greenhopper has reworked the original Ecausseville scenery made for FSX / P3D, so that it is usable under MSFS. This scene located at the borders of Normandy represents a hangar which sheltered during the WWI airships to counter the German submarines. This gigantic hangar built in concrete slabs on a frame of 25 structures was erected according to Henry Lossier's plans. The sliding door required 6 men to manipulate it!

LFMQ - Le Catellet:

In the continuity of his current developments, Berju83 proposes us this time the porting under X-Plane 11 of his scene that he had created in his time for FSX.

The area represents the civil airport of Le Castellet (LFMQ), the Paul Ricard automobile circuit, and the adjacent industrial zone.

For optimal operation:
- install the OpenSceneryX shared library in custom scenery,
- install OrthophotoXP tiles or equivalent for the area concerned in custom scenarios. A LOD 16 or 17 is best.
- uncompress the LFMQ_Castellet_XP11. rar archive in custom scenery.
