Hi Folks!

 

Some other thing needs to be corrected please: Some Fire-Smokes are flying high above the ground. Saw them at Maatricht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

 

Thanks a lot!

I believe this is controlled by the "Special Effects" settings in P3Dv4. The stacks below the flames will reappear with the settings turned up.

That's good to hear...good job! I learn something new everyday

 

 

Just an FYI....Vector is not created and developed by ORBX, the below link is the actual developer, maybe if you also contact them with this they could add it to a long awaited update?

I think you will find that if you disable Vector, the islands do not reappear, I believe Vector needs coastlines to work with, if the default islands and coastlines are not there, then Vector has no affect, Vector does not add land masses.

Hi Carlyle

 

I would have to say it's not a Vector issue....I think you will need FSAddons Tongass Fjords region installed to get those islands.

[ORBX PORTUGAL - big dam missing]

Hi Peter

 

Sure, please feel free to add a list here...not sure when the next Vector update will take place as it will no doubt be a huge undertaking, and Orbx is actually not the Vector developer, so all we can do is pass along this info. You may also like to contact the developer (PILOTS) yourself with this to make sure they get it added to the list, I have provided a link below.

Hi Peter, welcome to the forums

 

You are correct, it is not there. 

 

@Richard Lincoln maybe we can get it added to a future Vector update?

Hi Folks, I'm trying to follow all the directions for getting DX10 running properly with my ATI HD5770 card and am having trouble finding the recommended ATI Catalyst 12.8 drivers. No matter where I search, I seem to get referred back to ATI's web site which only has the latest drivers, and I understand that anything newer than 12.8 causes artifacts. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Jaimie

 

Hi Jaimie

 

I am running DX10 with a newer version ATI R9 280X card and using the 12.8 driver with eyefinity across three 24" Asus monitors and am extremely pleased....feel free to contact me with any issues, and I will do my best to help.

 

Cheers and good luck!

[Extra land off CYVR]

First, by way of explaning my interest; CYVR is my homebase airport and I use if to fly out and in regulary both in sim and IRL as a passenger. So I guess this is not a big deal if one is not familiar with the area but it is one of those annoyances that kills immersion when one is familiar with the local geography.

 

The altitude of the Google image (and my sim images) does not tell the whole story.

 

While Google may look like the Vector image, in reality much of the "apparent" land you can see due west of the airport and south of that due west of Richmond and then south to Delta is in fact shallow tidal flats. There are never any trees due west of CYVR although there may be mudflats there at low tide.

 

A zoomed in Google image tells a more accurate story with tidal flats clearly visible and a green salt-marsh border separates the airport from the water/tidal flats at the airport's western boundary. This narrow green boundary extends south beyond Richmond to Delta and south to the 49th parallel.

 

So in the sim, if you use Vector and take off from CYVR on 26L you will see a lot of farmland and trees as described above. In reality those tree and farm covered land masses are not there, ever. Without Vector there are no trees or farms, just water which is much more real.

 

In reality the no Vector image is a much cleaner representation of this particular piece of geography.

 

I hope that clarifies.

Cheers, Mike

 

Thanks Mike

 

Yes I realize this....and I guess my point is that it appears Vector is using the outline of the tidal flats for data to draw land mass... which is incorrect...

 

Cheers

[Extra land off CYVR]

Hmmm....interesting how the Google Earth image looks closer to your with Vector image...
