[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]File Description:
Big area to fly North of Washington State, between Victoria, Vancouver and Seatle. Orcas, Sucia, Central, Decatur, San Juan, Blakely, Waldron, Crane,... All those islands are photoreal, with seasonal textures and autogen. 9 airfields, 4 in high definition, with buildings (as near as possible from the reality). With a lot of details to give life!

You will need some EZ and RWY12 libraries. All instructions included. Please read them carefully. [/FONT]

It looks good going by the pictures of it...I've downloaded it so I'll have a peep at it and see what I think of it! What about you Pete, have you had a look yet? Thanks for posting this HU...
 
Thanks for the HU, Pete!

I'd even buy this scenery without testing:
Its author, Daniel Gauthier, created some very remarkable airport sceneries in Switzerland ("Suisse 2004" series).

That's some beautiful stuff, but I do not have Rte 12 or EZ Scenery or any of their library objects. I could never get Rte 12 to work properly for me, so I uninstalled it and use LAGO FSSE and Instant Scenery.

Just too much hassle to install and then have to get Rte 12 and EZ Scenery and all those library textures. I have the Orca Islands in FSX using Orbx's FTX PNW, so that will have to do for me.

There is actually a disclaimer of sorts, at the end of the instructions; nder known bugs, it says that there exists a CTD that plagues the scenery after 30-45 minutes flying in it! Darn. It looks very nice!
 
I use the Orcas Island scenery that came with one of Bill Lyon's planes...The Ryan STA I think. Wonderful scenery, works like a charm every time.

You don't need to get Rwy 12 to work. There's nothing to work. You don't need the program. All you need is the object libraries in a folder just like EZ scenery.
 
you do need to download 150 megs of objects if you don't have them and you also need to have the North Haledon scenery installed, which is another 20+ megs. I think the author should have posted that info in the description. I tried it but it conflicts with some of my other scenery and I uninstalled it
 
I too have conflicts - it doesn't sit at all well over my mesh - FSGenesis freeware US 38m in this area, I think (over FSGlobal 2008). Shame, cos it looks real nice...

This is another nice Orcas scenery “JG300PigSty” from Hovercontrol. It has animations, ships, and underground base down the coast. Not real but fun to use.
