malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, I purchased few products from your website and am very happy with the result in general however I have noticed that when flying out of my hometown airports in southern Poland (EPBA, EPKW, EPZR) there are 2 huge lakes missing from the game namely Zbiornik Goczlkowicki 9near Czechowice-Dziedzice) and Jezioro Zywieckie (near Zywiec) - see attached screenshots from google and FSX - they are represented as grassland in-game... This makes for a strange, unrealistic flying experience especially that they are perfect for water landings... and they were there with default FSX scenery... All other (smaller) water bodies are mostly there... so... you see why I am a bit taken back as I bought several OrbX products and finding out they are missing. At this point I'm not sure if it's me who didn't check some box during install or did you guys simply forgot about those lakes? Or is it some bug or scenery issue. I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance for your time and again compliments on otherwice great products! R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Lakes are the province of Vector, do you have that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I have tried different configurations eg. disabling Wetlands FTX Central 3 but still lakes not showing.... Global VECTOR -> Control Panel -> Various Features -> Wetlands Global Vector -> Control Panel -> Water features (tab gives me only 2 options) -Small Rivers & Streams -Frozen surface (in winter only) Those are checked and appear in game. Please advise.. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I am mostly flying VFR so lakes are somewhat essential feature... see attached screenshots of another (even bigger!) lake missing from my region. FSX In-flight when I go to map there are some lakes showing but the big ones we discussed are missing. Thanks again for helping out. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, it is possible that the lakes are missing from Vector. Reports were submitted during its life with Pilot's and most corrections were included in the six service packs that resulted. Do you have the latest version, 1.6?

malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi, I already tried veryfing files in Vector, it says its up to date v.1.52 FTX central doesn't give look/check for an update option. According to screenshots everything is up to date. If not where I could download the latest update and veryfy if the lakes are there? Thanks for your speedy reply, R.

Nick Cooper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would think you have 1.6. If you hover your mouse cursor over the white tick in the white circle, it will tell you the version number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 It says 1.60 Any ideas how to proceed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, I will have to mark this topic as "Noted" and pin it to the top of the Vector forum for future attention. I apologise for not being able to do more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonemax Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 So... wait - am I to understand that this issue won't be resolved anytime soon? Who is updating the VECTOR? Should it be reported to the person responsible so they can work on it/add missing lakes? I have paid a lot of money for 4 Orbx products... and your answer suggest that there is no mechanism for reporting those issues. I am flying VFR mostly and would like to be able to recognise my region - otherwise I could have stick to FSX default... or I could have bought other products... Could you point me to someone who can do more about this? Thanks again for your help. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, I cannot, I am sorry. I have asked many times what is to happen with Vector and received no answer. I think you may need to ask for a refund. You can do this by submitting a support ticket. if you decide to, please refer to this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
