Hello,
possibly you need to read this topic.

Hello,
I don't know why the frozen water setting causes this, it has always caused this problem.
I think the straight line probably is a problem with Vector, in particular because the straight
line cuts through the water.
I see just the same a you do.
Your report is in the correct forum.
I will pin it and it may receive attention from the Vector developers.

Hello,
the most likely solution to the dark shapes in the water is to
deselect the frozen water in winter option in the Vector control panel.

Hello,
welcome to the forums.
This is very well covered already, it was first reported in 2015.

There is no intransigence, only inaction from the Vector developers.
It helps no one to constantly repeat the same complaint, just as it helps
no one to constantly point out the same error.
The topic has been comprehensively answered, even though the answer is not satisfactory.
To Gestacon:
welcome to the forums.
If you have identified a new area that you believe to be defective, please start a new topic in the
Vector forum, ideally providing the exact coordinates and a screen shot if possible.
Thanks.

Hello,
thanks for the very thorough report.
I will ask Richard if this can be passed to the Vector developers for action.
-
Sorry, nothing yet.
The update is for Pilot's to do and there is much else that apparently has to be done manually.
Version 1.60 is indeed overdue.
At the risk of causing offence, now would be a very good time to acquire PNW for $US 23

Hello,
If you are satisfied that you have a high end PC and that there is nothing
wrong with your copy of the simulator and FTX scenery and yet your scenery
is blurred, the first thing to try is locking the frame rate to at least 30 if not 24.
It does appear that even the best systems cannot chase frame rates and produce
sharp focus scenery at the same time.

Hello,
a great many answers to support requests depend on knowing a few basic facts.
It would be very useful to us if you, the customers, would consider adding to or editing
your signatures to include the specifications of your PC, the Operating System
that you use and your flight simulator(s).
Just these basics would be ideal:
PC: CPU, RAM, Graphics card, Windows version, FSX version, P3D version
There is now no requirement to include a transaction number in your signature, one in the order number box
in your profile is enough.
Many thanks.

No problem, I am assuming that it must have worked for you too.
I am only the messenger here, I asked for a fix and Holger Sandmann identified the problem
and provided the fix.
All credit is due to him.

Hello,
Thanks to Holger Sandmann here is a "hotfix".
This will solve the stutters at Clacton but will also remove the Vector surf effects.
Either: Move your special effects slider to zero
or: Please go to ORBX\Scripts\unified\regions and back up terrain_global_v.cfg.
Then copy the attached version into its place.
Run FTX Central and wait for it to Activate Orbx scenery.

Ryan.
Please don't lecture me.
I have spent years in this forum attempting to provide the missing support.
I have explained who is responsible for this fix and reported it yet again.
Everyone has to pay for Vector and I do not need to be reminded that
in the case of Vector, I am also a paying customer with reservations about
the level of support that it is given.
You should clearly understand that:
1.This problem appears to have been raised well over three years ago.
The developers were made aware of it at the same time.
Since then, there have been numerous reports of the same problem.
2.The developers are a separate company, Pilot's.
3. It is that company that was and possibly is responsible for that product's support.
Orbx staff do not have the source files.
4. Numerous company requests for this and other anomalies to be fixed have been submitted.
I would agree that it is not satisfactory that after all this time, this error should still be present.
Nevertheless, everything that can be done to expedite this and other reported matters has been done and
we must apparently wait for Pilot's to take some action.
On a slightly lighter note, I see that the fact that your Clacton runway apparently spans a small lake with
no visible means of support does not concern you?
-
Hello,
as has been mentioned, this is not a new issue.
I have no idea why the developers of Vector, Pilot's, have not addressed this in the past,
I see topics from over three years ago and passed to the developers but the issue appears to remain.
I understand that they are at some point going to produce a Vector 1.60 but no sign yet and no indication
as to whether this will be addressed in any case.
-
Anything's worth a try.
-
Hello Dave,
I have split this from where you added it.
However, I cannot replicate the problem.
-
Hello Carl,
I believe that we are waiting for Vector version 1.60.
The fix to the Vector control panel is supposed to be part of that.
You will remember that we released Vector for P3D v4 without the fixed version
and no one has seen a trace of an alleged update yet.
At least we are not all still waiting for Vector for P3D v4 but what is happening
about the outstanding matters, I have no idea.
In this case, I am a paying customer also and I don't think you will find anyone
who feels that it has received the support it deserves from the developers.

Thank you but this topic is for software that does work.
I have edited your topic to reflect this.

Hello,
at the moment, no, not least because for now, the P3D method is broken.

Hello,
Thanks for reporting this.
Hopefully it will join the long list of similar reports that are not yet fixed.
-
No, it is a wish for your good luck.
-
Clearly this area is more than important to you.
It perhaps begs the question why you did not purchase PNW instead.
Nevertheless, it is only a flight simulator.
Removing Vector will impact the whole of the rest of your flight simulator
for the sake of one river estuary.
You can apply for a refund using the ticket system.
Good luck with that.
-
Hello.
1. Done
2. None at all, as you must now be aware, I thought it had been fixed and I have no idea why it has not.
3. It does not fix the issue, it simply disables that part of Vector and leaves the default coastline.
4. As you see in my screen shots.
5. You can try, I would consider it unlikely that a global product, always advertised as being improved, is likely
to be refunded for a few square km of land that is not strictly accurate.
Here is a reminder that the error is this:
Whatever data that is used has read the area as land when it appears to be mudflats,
here is Doug's Google Earth image.
Here is how it is portrayed by Vector.
and here is how it is portrayed in PNW
-
Hello,
I have been advised that what I am seeing is PNW, for which I apologise.
I should have realised this.
Vector has not been fixed in this respect.
-
I will pass this on internally for attention.
I am still stuck with my own fresh installation having the update but let's wait for a comment.

Hello,
thanks.
I see the same.
I will pin the topic and it should be passed to Pilot's for attention.
