plco43 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I have both FSX and P3Dv5 installed on my computer with many of the Orbx products, including Global Vector and Global OpenLC North America. I also have NAPacific NorthWest but not NAPacific Fjords. I have been considering buying Pacific Fjords, and have been "flying" the area around Bella Bella to get to know the lay of the land. On taking off from Bella Bella, head west over the islands until you reach open water. In both P3Dv5 and FSX I have found many of what appear to be "icebergs" scattered across the sea in this area. Additionally many of the offshore islands appear to be below sea level. In FSX, the outline of the beaches are visible, with breaking waves on the shoreline. In some cases part of the land is visible disappearing into the sea. In P3Dv5, the islands and beaches are not visible, they've all sunk. As a similar effect is apparent in both programmes, I presume this is an Orbx issue. Is there any way of fixing this? I have tried running the Automatic Elevation Correction tool in Orbx Central, at least for FSX (I can't find the AEC tool for P3D), but without any effect. My second question relates to NA Pacific Fjords. If I were to purchase and install this, would that correct the submerged land and "iceberg" issue? Many thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi Graham First please try and uncheck the "Frozen Surface (in winter only)"option in Vector settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plco43 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi Doug No, that didn't solve it. Still the same, in FSX at least. There don't appear to be any water settings in Vector for P3D. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Also check the control panel for the regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plco43 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi Doug I don't have an Orbx region for that area, apart from NA Landclass, and there's not much in the way of settings for that. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianV Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think these anomalities are best solved with a new beautiful payware quality Orbx airport (hint, hint, I would love to see more up the Canadian coast and in Alaska) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
