meb58 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Im having some issues with the east coast of Florida near West Palm Beach.....Sharp cutoff between orbx and stock water scenery...very straight line that looks unnatural....Any suggestions here? Thank You... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Need pics please. It could be where the ortho imagery finishes and meets the default. If you send pics we can compare and ask the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdrill Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 That's exactly what this is. Tony has explained, elsewhere, that flights to the Bahamas would look very blurry if he tried to blend it all in. It's an X-Plane limitation. We just have to accept the line, and forget about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFlight Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I have already posted two pictures on this topic in the thread "Bugreports TE Florida". They are taken off Palm Beach. There is indeed this sharp edge between ORBX and stock water scenery, but not everywhere. Further north, the sharp edge turns into a softer transition again.

flyingdrill Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @meb58 See my post above. To save you hunting around, I'm sure that the developer won't mind me quoting his answer from another thread: The issue is that the coastline around Miami is very close to the tile border. If we include the neighbouring tile which is mostly water then we also have to find imagery and data to include part of the Bahamas which is not an easy task. I can include low resolution blurry imagery for the islands but the issue is that people who actually want to fly there from Florida will be quite angry to see a blurry mess. This is a big downside to the 1x1 degree tile limit that X-Plane enforces, making problems like this very difficult to fix. As I said, it's best to forget about it!

meb58 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks flyingdrill...You are right....I'm forgetting about it because I understand the problem now. Makes sense. Anyhow, I really do love what Florida looks like with TE. Orbx did a wonderful job and my PC hardly notices it....Computer runs it great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdrill Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 @meb58 Great. I have suggested that they put more tall buildings along parts of that coastline, as there are several areas where there are tall hotels and condos in a row, and they are notably absent in the sim. However, it's mainly a superb piece of work . I'm running it on an iMac, and it's fine. I kept DD's Miami in, though, and it blends perfectly - sorry, Orbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
