Richard Myers Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I fly frequently around the Caribbean (Barbados to Puerto Rico) and throughout Central America. Which of the products (North & South America LC) give best coverage for this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Myers Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 It is a bit vague to be honest Nick as my question was prompted by the lack of clarity on the product page and with my purchase depending on the actual geographic area covered by the products as defined on a map perhaps? How does the NA product work alongside PNW, Pacfic Fjords and Southern Alaska? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hello, have a read of the attached user guide, that should help. Open Landclass products have no effect in Orbx regions. FTX Global openLC North America.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you don't pay attention too much you can end up in a region or OLC NA without any notice when flying near the borders. Are regions that bad? No! Open LC is that good!

Are regions that bad? No! Open LC is that good! Of course you shouldn't notice the borders between a full fat region and a landclass region. Seeing them would be a show stopper. Assuming that you would see the borders means you haven't understood what landclass is all about. If you are a local of the area in question or know this region very well, you can tell the difference for sure! Full fat regions are much more accurate and diverse in landclass placement. In full fat regions forests are where forests are in real world, fields are where fields are in RW, villages are where villages are water bodies where they are in RW and the have the accurate shape, also vector data and mesh are included, etc. etc... Whereas OLC regions are by far not that accurate, have just a few PR areas (e. g. Vesuvius), no mesh and just not full vector data included.
