noted Exuma, Abaco in the Bahamas devoid of life

[harryw]

Hello, after installing OpenLC NA virtually all small settlements have disappeared (the textures look great though!) including Marsh Harbor on Abaco, which is not all that small. 

I do have Nassau.

Florida Keys with some similar size settlements on the other hand are very accurate, almost like hand placed. 

Question: is this as it should be, problem on my side or is this work in progress (would be understandable)?

 

I have 2 OPENLC_NAMERICA entries in my scenery list and saw it mentioned somewhere that there should be 3. Could that be a problem?

This is on Prepar3D 3.3, migration to FTX Central 2 went fine.

Thanks for looking!

The Bahamas in general needs some work.  Bimini (MYBS) looks like a dessert.  Some islands look great like some just north of MYGM, whereas some look totally unrealistic, like MYBS.

Ah, I see. Work In Progress then.

I don't think that the Caribbean was worked on as extensively as the mainland US & Mexico. I wrote a post about the appearance of many buildings in the water along various island coastlines (Jamaica, Barbados & Havana Cuba) and John Dow indicated that some of the vector data for that region may not be as accurate as it could be, resulting in those anomalies. A shame because I also mentioned that Caribbean island hopping was something I had looked forward to assuming that the details in OLCNA 2 would be better than Global alone. Oh well, at least the rest of OLCNA 2 is great.

Yes, same here regarding Island hopping. 

But I'd be happy just to hear an official statement if more work in the area is planned.

Hi Harry,

 

Thanks for pointing out those errors. Though I would not say the work is in progress, be reassured that we will look at any issue reported and those will be addressed if needed in a future service pack.

KORDATC - I was going to write that about Bimini. South Bimini is really covered with assorted trees, mostly pines from what I remember.

Correct Don.  The whole island is covered with them.  Very strange trees.  While they're technically a coniferous tree with a whole bunch of needles, they actually look more like a normal deciduous tree.  In any case though, I remember them being very short.  I think if ORBX just covered the island with a ton of large bushes, it would probably do it the most justice.
