>>> Lachute -> April 25, 2009!
These days, technology development makes virtual aviation more realistic than ever before. We are far from simple video games! That is why the Association des aviateurs et pilotes de brousse du Québec (APBQ) and Aérovirtuel Québec (AVQ) proudly present the Salon de l'aviation virtuelle du Québec (SAVQ, Québec virtual aviation show).
Presided by the noted Captain Robert Piché, the Salon de l'aviation virtuelle du Québec (SAVQ) will be the meeting point for all aviation fiends. Here, you will meet many exhibitors and electronic simulation specialists. Lots of new stuff this year. Some simulators will be available so that you can try your favourite airplane. There will even be a skills competition.
Lecturers will introduce some techniques, like the network flying and the creation of 3D objects from Gmax and FSDS softwares. Also, numerous clubs and associations will be there to present their respective activities.
You may also ride in an airplane weather permitting it. A light catering service will be on site all day long. At the end of this fantastic day, a donation will be presented to the Robert Piché Foundation.
