Double J Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 meh sorry but I disagree, still FORESTS in the desert . I was surprised to see more of the city such as north up to the I74 and Anthem,..however it really looks nothing like this in RL (my neighborhood) the hills appear to be flattened out as well. KDVT is also covered in new shrubbery which I will post in another thread. KDVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molleh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Do you have Global Vector? I do not have those forests on my sim. I made a response to a thread on Avsim here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/492902-library-update/#entry3463476 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vector should have nothing to do with forests. Thanks for the link..wish I would have done more research before I bought it . I give it a fail.

BoyScout Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Double J, why would you give it a fail? I am sure there will be mistakes here and there, especially with such a large area to cover. With user input I am sure Orbx will be able to fix those areas over time which are identified by the community. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an issue in the Beta shots...and now we have trees on the taxi ways at KDVT? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molleh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's a bug/inaccuracy, Double J. They happen, and when people report them (constructively) they usually get fixed. As Rob said, OpenLC NA covers a HUUUUUUGE (millions of square miles) area of the planet. There are going to be some inaccuracies where improvements can be made. Also, you can't expect your neighborhood to look exactly like real life. It's a landclass and autogen-based scenery. You'll never see precise neighborhood layouts.

You'll never see precise neighborhood layouts. As far as a neighborhood goes I understand that and don't expect it to be . ..just an observation. But to see three large forests in Phoenix is a head scratcher. Lake Pleasant looks like a northern lake and there is a very large forest over in White Tank which is strange. Yet on the east side the major water bodies are void of trees which they should be, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molleh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I posted a link which shows that I have no trees around Lake Pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double J Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I see that but in the same thread there are others photos with a forest around the lake. Your "dry river bed" photo looks very strange as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molleh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 That's why I asked if you have Vector installed. Part of what defines these "forested" areas as you see in Orlaam's post on Avsim is that these are actually "park" areas. You can see their boundaries if you look at something like Google maps (the standard map view, not satellite). Obviously they shouldn't actually have trees (depending on the region) but that just happens to be the texture that gets assigned if you don't have Global Vector. White Tank looks like dry arid terrain (whatever you call it, I'm not a desert expert ) as it should as well, no forests: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understood to be not part of vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molleh Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Vector includes more than just roads and shorelines. It has city parks, wetlands, marshes, golf courses etc. as well. Those are considered "vectors" as their borders make up vectors themselves, basically in the same way as roads or rivers are, just with a different shape and texture.

Double J Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Strange that parts of Phoenix around water show up correctly while others don't. Doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
