B77X Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 How do I remove the lines of terrain that follow utility poles? In winter you can see this more obviously because it's always a line of snow where the utility lines go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi David, what FTX region or other addon are you referring to? In the North America regions we only placed utility corridors where they occur in the real world too (check Google Earth) unless we made a mistake somewhere in which case we'd need to have coordinates and/or screenshots. Also, snow does stay longer on the ground in openings, such as clearcuts or right-of-ways, than in the surrounding forests meaning the effect is intended.

B77X Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think all my textures are not assigned properly. Is this what FTX Global/ hybrid mode, with all the NA regions is supposed to look like? I am over British Columbia here. Everything looks like default except for the rivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi David, looks normal to me for that season. Winter textures have lower contrast than other seasons, for obvious reasons, and tend to look less attractive, especially from greater distances when FSX doesn't display the higher-detail mipmaps of the landclass textures. I personally prefer to either fly in mid-winter (when it's all white) or during late spring or early fall. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is only during summer? Do you recommend I run with only the NA region checked, rather than FTX Global with hybrid mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi David, well, anything in FSX can be made to look bad with blurry textures and low autogen density. My point about snow being retained in forest openings stands though. To show that I'm not making this up see the attached Google Earth satellite image of cutblocks and powerline corridors near Whistler taken April 2009. In any case, those cutlines are polygons embedded in the general landclass files of our regions so they are here to stay. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B77X Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 My autogen setting is dense. I have blurries around YVR that I can't get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
