And I'll drink to that.🍻

Hi Gumby,
Yes the lines of separtion is to be expected given Terra Colour is a single season photoreal snapshot in time and Orbx is multi-season landclass.
I don't experience the lines issue as much given I have TAS, VIC, NSW and NT as Terra Colour, meaning I have almost all of SA's borders covered.
There is no perfect solution, but with this style scenery you'll have photoreal at height and Orbx when low. It's a compromise of large area affordable photoreal imagery suitable for inroute altitudes and Orbx for the lower level flights.
Cheers
Thank's Quantum very much for your help. I ended up uninstalling S.A as it
didn't look normal flying into Adelaide or at higher levels flying
across at 30,000+ feet from one state or the other. Anyway it
was all experimental didn't cost the earth. A small investment in
the other Terra Colour states down the track may be in order.👍

Was that at Stillwater restaurant? Food looks good.
No Graeme that's at the Levee Food Co Restaurant
at the Launceston Seaport. Gerold went to the

nice one, the food looks lovely, hope you had a nice pud after....no cider on the table though...
No cider Wayne till I got home. I tried to be on my best
behaviour that night and I'm not much of a pudding guy.
Thanks again to Gerold for a fun night I enjoyed it and
he only had to be restrained twice by security.
cheers

I'm not sure what I came up with but there
was a straight line separating the borders of the
state of Victoria and South Australia and no doubt
adjoining state or territories. The contrast of adjoing
States change for this time of year being very dry to lush green
in S.A. Sorry never mastered posting screen shots. I'm just a
simple 56yo lad.

Shirley you didn't believe that. 😄
My parents and grandparents had a big influence on me as well as some neighbors that help guide me.
That sounds more like you Adam.
And don't call me Shirley.

Definitely my parents. They always had good morals and
values. I think I have passed them on to my kids as none
of them have been in jail this week.

A flight around 1hr to 1 and a half hours does me.
Any longer I fall to sleep which isn't healthy for my
passengers. I've done 3hr flights but I have to watch Frasier
in between.

I've not seen this before, just took a look, is it some sort of high level scenery for if you're at altitude? if so I would be interested in your experience with it...
I usually don't bother with where things go in the library I just go to Help>sync simulator and Orbx Central sorts it, never had any issues...
Your correct Wayne, it's pretty much for a better detail of the landscape
at higher levels. I'm sure your right with the library I don't normaly bother
with it. It's Terracolour-scenery-South Australia. you should find it in
Central if you type in South Australia Scenery in the search box.

I have just purchased Orbx South Australia scenery for p3d5,
where in my scenery library should it be placed?
Thanks in advance.

How true.....
Many of us have heard of the so-called "beer goggle" effect. It's the phenomenon that occurs when someone's had a few alcoholic drinks and suddenly, all of those people who looked semi-attractive on entering the bar look really, really appealing. Scientists have shown that it's not just a lowering of standards -- alcohol actually stimulates the part of the brain that judges facial attractiveness.
The "Beer Goggles" Effect
In 2002, researchers at St. Andrews University and Glasgow University in Scotland took 80 college students and had half of them drink a "moderate" amount of alcohol -- between one and four servings, depending on gender and body weight. The other half, the control group, remained sober. Scientists showed each subject pictures of people of the opposite sex. In all cases -- male and female alike -- the experimental (tipsy) group rated each picture an average of 25 percent more attractive than the sober group did.
The effect can reportedly be traced to the nucleus accumbens. When you're looking at another human being, the nucleus accumbens is the area of the brain that decides how attractive that human being's face is. If you look at, say, George Clooney or Angelina Jolie, this area of your brain probably experiences increased neural firing. In other words, it's stimulated. As it turns out, alcohol, all by itself, stimulates the nucleus accumbens. So when you've have a few drinks, and you look at a face you may have judged as unattractive when you were sober, your brain, under the influence of alcohol, tells you that this face is in fact somewhat attractive. And the increase in perceived attractive seems to be directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed.
In a more recent study, this one conducted by researchers at England's Manchester University in 2005, scientists actually came up with a mathematical formula to calculate the extent of the "beer goggle" effect on a given individual in a given situation. Their reasoning for creating this formula is that alcohol is not really the only factor affecting the drunken perception of beauty. Other factors, according to their research, include:
How brightly lit the area is
The observer's eye-sight quality
The amount of smoke in the air
The distance of the observer from the observed
The formula goes like this:(An)2xd(S+1)
g= -----------
L x (Vo)2
where:An is the number of servings of alcohol
S is the smokiness of the area on a scale of 0 - 10
L is the lighting level of the area, measured in candelas per square meter, in which 150 is normal room lightning
Vo is Snellen visual acuity, in which 6/6 is normal and 6/12 is the lower limit at which someone is able to drive
d is the distance between the observer and the observed, measured in metersThe formula works out a "beer goggle" score ranging from 1 to 100+. When g = 1, the observer is perceiving the same degree of beauty he or she would perceive in a sober state. At 100+, everybody in the room is a perfect 10.
What a coincidence, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I guess it's the same as telling people, you like them but after a few
bending's of the elbow, you tell them they are enough to make a
maggot sick. I'm not sure what formular that comes under though.🍺
I'll drink to it anyway.
