FSX
This all started with YoYo's paint of the Milviz Otter. I googled the sign "Inconnu Lodge" and though... Great place! I'd love to go there but probably will never manage. Why not make it in the sim?
It is ready now, and since it was inspired while testing the Milviz Otter, it is kindly hosted by Colin in the Milviz forum. You can find it here:

The lodge is located in the McEvoy lake deep into the Yukon area in Northern Canada. It is a fly-to place and you can get there on DH Canada products. Besides the pier, there is also a dirt runway to the north. I have added another water runway and pier on Finlayson lake less than 30' flight south-west by Beaver. There is also an AI Beaver floatplane flying between the two piers in Lodge house colors. Your best experience will be in P3Dv4.1 with ORBX FTX NA SAK, but I have given my best effort to cover also FSX and default installs as well as simpler ORBX Global Vector cases. A configuration app will make the necessary changes. Finally, thanks to Bill Leaming, this is the first time I create an installer, although you have to activate the scenery in the library manually.
Please follow the instructions in the readme and enjoy.

Dimus, let me say first and foremost: Thank you.. I am really enjoying "some" of your package. It looks absolutely grand even though I only have the default scenery. I think Inconnu Lodge is beautiful and I have walked around it (using an avatar). However; I have two distractions. A: Finlayson Lake shows up on GPS, map, etc. but when I travel the full length, I don't have any structures on it. I have scenery details up such that I can see Inconnu Lodge with its pier, canoes, etc. What might I be doing wrong. Second B: I can select Inconnu beaver and it appears, flies normal. I've gone to both lakes at the scheduled times, and I'm not seeing the AI beaver (Inconnu?) ever show up, even though my ground, sea traffic sliders are greater than 50%. In the Inconnu scenery folder, there are files depicting Finlayson lake textures, objects, etc. The only objects I see are at Inconnu Lodge. Nothing at Wolverine, Trail, or Finlayson. According to the very well written Readme, I expect to see a pier at Finlayson. If anyone might can point me to a solution, I would appreciate it. I'd love to enjoy this package to its fullest. It's fun and a couple of the landing strips are challenging. Thank you for any help...Terry
Dimus, thank you..thank you.. When I "go to CAD6" the pier and cabin appears. I need to check and see if they will return if I start at another place.
Needless to say, I'm very happy. I finally got it to work. I had copied and pasted your changes to the current config file. I might have inserted a space or hidden character unbeknownst. I know the beaver flew ok and displayed fine. AI plane never showed up. This time I deleted the original config file and copied the config file included in the download package. To me, they looked the same and were the same... but something wasn't. After I pasted the entire config file included in the d/l, the AI was there! How joyous it is too!. Dimus, many many thanks. I had taxied up to Finlayson Lake in a DHC-3 Otter. the beaver spawned, started and I taxied out to the lake with it. You even included engine runup sounds..that's really cool..I flew formation throughout the flight back to Inconnu Lodge. The AI took the scenic route.However, it overflew the lake and went on the vanish from view. I returned to Inconnu Lodge and somehow it made it back before I did. (I think it respawned) Thank you so much..This is fun..The only reason I hesitated to download is you mentioned Orbx.. my little ten year old laptop can't handle Orbx. Then I read the readme and it stated this would work with default... Glory be ! This is fun..thank you, hundred times over..Terry
