ACTIVE Global, Vector & Open LC

[John York]

I've got Global and it works fine.  I would like to get Vector and Open LC but am concerned that these could have a detrimental affect on my photo scenery as did UTX when I had it.

 

Can someone reassure me please before I buy them?

 

Thanks.

Hello John,

 

OpenLC will be invisible wherever you have photo scenery

active.

Its purpose is to rearrange the global texures to better reflect the

real world topography.

Wherever there is photo scenery, there are no Global textures to be seen.

 

Vector also, except perhaps where the photo scenery watermasks

and Vector coast and shorelines do not match exactly.

In this case there will either be waves breaking over the land or

areas of default land in the sea between the two.

Thanks Nick.  That is exactly the problem I had with UTX which, I think, was a combination of the two; Vector and LC.  I'll stick to Global+LC then.

 

By the way, I suppose there isn't a control in Vector like there was with UTX where the bits you didn't want could be disabled?

There is, yes but never having had UTX, I can't

say how it compares.

You can turn many of the features on and off.

Ok.  Sorry to be a nuisance, but if that's the case Nick, would I be able to turn off the Vector geographical features like waves and possibly even the shorelines etc?

 

Or, is there a list of the features somewhere that can be turned on and off?

 

Now downloading LC Europe by the way.
