mark767 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looking at the screenshots from LC Canada, looks great, however, before you release you really should update Niagara Falls to show the Canadian Falls as a horseshoe rather than a straight line. Obviously an area people will go to and look at and would be nice to have it closer to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vora Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 OpenLC does not alter the mesh, just landclass and textures. I'm afraid that would be out of its scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark767 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mark You truly are an innovator requesting support before a product is even released ! You have a good point! OK if it is not LC then should it not be changed in Vector ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 As it is a 3 dimensional problem the correction would have to be done with a local hi-res mesh or better with a 3D object (Ã la Frank Dainese). Aerosoft has already done this in their US Cities X series. Just google Aerosoft and Niagara, you'll find a perfect rendition of the falls.

mark767 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have installed the new freemesh product as well as FSGlobal 2010. I have not looked but I wonder if freemesh fixes this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm not a specialist but I've been learning how to correct a shoreline, for two days, in a scenery I make. In my opinion, the correction could be done with the mesh and correcting the drawing of the shoreline under the water. This is not real water but an elevated shoreline covered with a water looking polygon. You just have to curve the shorelines under the water. Now how to curve the foam effect I don't know (yet) ...

dominique Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dominique, while you're at it, can you please fix Glen Canyon Dam and the bridge??? Thanks! I'm a newbie learning the trade by fixing a small area in OpenLC EU Corsica with its airport, the river and the coastline. I've done maybe 85% of the job, let's see if I can finish that up ! If I do, I'll go to Southern Europe again or Asia. Glen Canyon is such a great place ! It deserves better than me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The falls have a wrong shape in there. Straight instead of horseshoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi guys, I assume that the default falls were modeled as straight lines because that makes the dynamic effect placement easier; in fact it's not possible to have curved effects of this type (rapidly repeating loops of vertical texture sets to indicate falling water) so they would have to be broken up into many smaller sections, which causes all sorts of issues with synchronization and transparency. It might be possible to represent the falls with other types of effects but that would be something a separate scenery add-on would have to tackle, not a continent-scale landclass add-on.

Cheers, Holger Hi Holger I discovered the US Cities Niagara Falls animation of the two falls were affected by the dynamic effect of the OpenLC Canada/Alaska, how can we delete that for the two falls from OpenLC so that two will not overlapped to make a quiet bad looking effect..
