Jack Sawyer Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Floating houses. The second one is right near CYYC. Anyone else with P3D or even FSX see this? The river is blue but part of it seen here is black, it has a straight line across both ends of the black part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I will leave the full explanation of the black rivers to the experts but from what I understand there is a conflict with Vector roads and the rivers. I recently did a flight along the Snake River and had several locations where the river turned black. Here we go Jack, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the last week installing all my regions and now I'm still downloading all my airports to install. Just tonight I installed the two LC's then flew there in the N/A LC. I still have yet to install Vector, maybe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutterf Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think the black rivers are due to having 'Frozen Surfaces' item checked in Vector Configurator. Try unchecking it and see what happens Dayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try unchecking it and see what happens Dayle Thanks Dayle, but I don't have Vector installed yet. That is not a good screenshot. It doesn't show the black section connected at either end of the shot with perfectly straight lines to blue water. Perhaps when I install Vector, hopefully today as I have another 25 products to install, mostly airports, it will remedy that, but if not then I can live with it.

Ben McClintock Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi Jack, Floating autogen is a known issue with the FSX/P3D engines. You can fix this by reloading the scenery library when you're in the simulator (just go world -> scenery library and then click apply/ok). That should lower all the autogen to the ground. I think the black river issue is just the water lighting in Prepar3D. Do you see a distinct seam between black river and normal river? Or is all of the water the same black colour?

Hi Ben and thanks, I'll reload the scenery, that's easy but as for the black river, yes, I should have had a better screenshot, I can post one, but there is a perfectly straight line between the blue and black on both ends of the river in that screenshot.

Holger Sandmann Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi Jack, the black water is probably the odd interaction between the seasonal water and adjacent road skirting specific to P3D; see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/103216-nrm-water-issue-and-floating-houses/ That's why all North American FTX regions now have the option to uncheck the automatically "freezing" water feature while flying in summer months. Check the NRM control panel. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
