Description
Scenery for Lake Sept-Iles, Quebec, Canada
ICAO code: CSP8
This scenery represents Lac Sept-Iles and the former Aviation Batiscan seaplane base.
The scenery includes:
- The Batiscan Aviation building. The base was closed in the late 2010s. The building's new owner parked a Piper Cub there.
- Several custom made chalets that are more easily noticed while circulating on the lake, including the nautical club and the old chapel on Nadeau Island (or Wasat).
- Some details of Camps Portneuf (docks, canoes, yurts, activities on the lake in winter)
- The dam
- Riprap, stones and dead trees along the Portneuf River to the Paquet aerodrome (CSK5)
- Rocks, shoals and dead trees around lac Sept-Iles, lac au Chien, lac à la Truite and many others
- 5 dock departures including one near the DHC-2 Beaver of a famous hockey player
- The electric wires that supply the islands (The wires offer a great challenge: try to pass under them one after the other)
- Several docks and canoe cabins
- Several seaplanes located as in real life
- Several vegetation fixes
In FS2024, complex objects (boats) appear too late, which is an issue that has been reported to Asobo. I didn't make any changes to that.
And a version for winter:
- Removal of boats, canoes, etc.
- Fishing tents with fishermen
- Ice ring with skaters (without skates) and walkers, and activities on the lake at Camp Portneuf
- Marked snowmobile trails on the lake
- Snowmobilers at various locations
** To enjoy the winter scenery, there must be 25 units of snow on the ground for ice to appear on the lake. You can set snow dept in the weather setup. Takeoff and landing can be also hard to realise. This is not realistic and has been reported to Asobo.

Works well along its sister scenery CSK5 Paquet airstrip : https://flightsim.to/file/42546/csk5-paquet-airstrip
The following libraries will allow you to see electric wires, people, riprap and dead trees. Thanks to these authors. In order of priority :
1- Electric wires and canoe huts: MSFS 2020 object library 200+ models: https://flightsim.to/file/16007/msfs-object-library-with-150-models-ranging-from-towers-hangers-terminals -to-cones
2- Majority of riprap along the river and some places around the lake: The George River Scene (NZQE) in New Zealand's World Udape 12 and others are included in the base package of MSFS.

Scène du lac Sept-Iles
Québec, Canada
Code ICAO : CSP8
Cette scène représente le lac Sept-Iles et l'ancienne base d'hydravion d'Aviation Batiscan.
La scène inclue :
- L'ancien bâtiment d'Aviation Batiscan. La base a fermé à la fin des années 2010. Le nouveau propriétaire du bâtiment y stationne un Piper Cub.
- Plusieurs chalets que lon remarque plus facilement en circulant sur le lac dont le club nautique et l'ancienne chapelle sur l'île Nadeau (ou Wasat).
- Quelques détails du Camps Portneuf (quais, canots, yourtes)
- Le barrage
- Enrochement et arbres morts le long de la rivière Portneuf jusqu'à l'aérodrome Paquet (CSK5)
- Roches, hauts fonds et arbre morts autour du lac Sept-Iles, du lac au Chien, du lac à la Truite et plusieurs autres
- 5 départs à quai dont un près du DHC-2 Beaver d'un célèbre joueur de Hockey
- Les fils électriques qui alimentent les iles (Les fils offrent un beau défi: tenter de passer en dessous l'un après l'autre)
- Plusieurs quais et cabanes à canot
- Plusieurs hydravions localisés commme dans la réalité
- Plusieurs corrections de végétation
Dans FS2024, les objets complexe (bateaux) apparaissent trop tard, ce qui est un enjeu qui est signalé à Asobo. Je n'ai pas fait de modification là-dessus.
Et une version pour l'hiver:
- Retrait des bateaux, canoe, etc
- Motoneigistes à divers endroits, également dans le secteur du lac au Chien et jusqu'au lac De Clair.
- Tentes de pêche avec pêcheurs
- Anneau de glace avec patineurs (sans patins) et promeneurs, activités sur la glace au Camp Portneuf
- Sentiers de motoneige balisés sur le lac
** Pour profiter de la scène d'hiver, il doit y avoir 25 unités de neige au sol pour que la glace apparaisse sur le lac. Vous devez le modifier dans vos réglages météo. Les décollage et atterrissage sur skis sont difficiles, voir impossible dû à ce bug signalé à Asobo. Votez sur la discussion suivante pour faire corriger cette anomalie: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/more-accurate-tree-types-in-north-american-regions/702785/2
Utiliser idéalement avec la scène voisine CSk5 Paquet, Club de planeurs de Québec : https://flightsim.to/file/42546/csk5-paquet-airstrip

Version History
A lot more details to the winter scenery : snowbanks, fishers, snowmobiles, smoke effects. Note that with the ice not forming in winter in the sim in this region, you must put more than 24 units of snow in the weather setup. Takeoff and landing can be also hard to realise. This is a FS2024 bug. Removed some external libraries requirements.

Yeah, ice is complicated to get in MSFS. You need realtime weather and be during winter. Asobo just change the criteria that generate ice : 30 cm of snow on the ground as per Meteoblue data. So in lake Sept-Iles, it is gonna be not before january until april, even if in real life ice appears in early December. As you said, you need to activate only the Winter version of the scenery in your community folder.
