ANSWERED Vector and Full Fat regions

[teecee]

I usually only fly in the Orbx "full fat" areas, and though I would love to buy Vector, I need to clarify a point. I seem to remember JV saying that vector would improve coastlines and other small parts of the areas such as Aus, but I am not sure. Could you clarify this please JV? Teecee.

Yes, I would be interested in this too. I think to remember that Holger said the coastlines of Austrlia SP4 will be improved by FTX Vector.

TC, I have now installed FTX Vector and FTX Global and have checked AUS SP4. Vector does not alter anything there. However if you switch from Oceania to Global within FTX Central, you'll get much more detailed shorelines and water bodies than within AUS SP4 (haven't checked other vector data like roads etc.). So the vector data of FTX Vector are more accurate than the ones of AUS SP4. Of course custom lanclass, custom autogen etc. are much better in AUS SP4 than in FTX Global. So the conclusion is that you can't have the best of both worlds. Unless Orbx finds a way to combine AUS SP4 with FTX Vector.

 

Cheers, Wolfgang

Much as I thought, but I do seem to remember JV touching on this subjest.. Perhaps an update on some of the Full Fat regions is in the future?.. I hope so, because the coastlines in particular in Aus are awful in places.. Teecee.

try to put the FTX AU entries below the Vector entry. Well do it at your own risk tho.

[John Venema]

The FTX Regions will exclude all VECTOR content so they are mutually exclusive. We can of course look into an SP5 for Australia to have the best of both worlds, although this won't be happening in the near future.

Thanks John, a sad result but thanks anyway. Teecee.
