Complimentary packages (i.e. Where is The Rest of Toronto!?!?)
You should *also* install the following:
CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport

Jacques Brault - Toronto Skyline:
X-P.org: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=17619
1. Copy Jacques' Package into your /Custom Scenery/
2. Inside our "CYTZ Toronto Island Airport" package is a folder called "Skyline Package - Night Lighting Textures".
3. Copy in those additional textures (courtesy of ILMARS) to Jacque's Skyline Package's /objects/ directory.
This will give you night textures for the buildings.
Once done:
4. Edit your /Custom Scenery/scenery.ini file to manually position our package at the top of the .ini file
Ensure that our scenery (CYTZ Toronto Island Airport) is before Jacques (zCanada CYTZ Island ON) package in the list.
Your scenery_pack.ini should look something like this:
I1000 versionSCENERYSCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/CYTZ Toronto Island Airport/SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson/SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/zCanada CYTZ Toronto Island ON/...... other stuff...
(Note: If you don't feel like mucking about with an .ini file - simply delete your personal /Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini file, and due to alphabetical order on reload, the load order ends up putting the packages in the correct order).
Upon reload of X-Plane, this scenery then merges with Jacques' excellent Toronto Skyline. Due to the way the X-Plane does object overlays, the two scenery packages blend into one seamless scenery, with full day and night lighting effects.
