YoYo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hello, in the last time when I back to P3D v.2.4 now I noticed strange "boxes of water" in AU SP4.003 in some of areas. Any ideas? Installed here: FTX AUSTRALIA SP4.003 - NOVEMBER 2013 FTX AA ORBX LIBRARIES VER 141228 28th DECEMBER 2014 Oceania in FTX P3D is "ON".

Adam Banks Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Cześć Yoyo! I have P3Dv2.4 and AU SP4.003. If you can post the SLEW info/co-ordinates of one of those areas I'll see what I get. Is this with or without Global (I don't have it, myself). Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi guys, probably the same issue with the seasonal lakes as discussed here: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/87195-weird-textures-in-the-tropical-area/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yoyo, Holger ...Yes I get it too. Looks like what Holger describes as the "seasonal lakes" thing. Is it a P3D bug or an ORBX one?Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have tried this are with vector and Global both off and on and I am seeing no problems..Perhaps the fault lies elsewhere? Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 @teecee - is this with P3Dv2.4? Is your season set to AU summer? Mine is a pretty well vanilla P3D install. Only my regular (triple installer) ORBX sceneries installed. No other scenery (payware or freeware). I haven't checked my FSX for the same area but I don't remember there being a problem [with FSX].

Holger Sandmann Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi guys, there's no default option for seasonal changes in lakes and rivers in either FSX or P3D but we've discovered a clever workaround back in 2009 that, unfortunately, gets partially broken by P3Dv2. We've notified L-M of the issue and now have to wait whether they decide to adjust their terrain engine code or not. If not then we'll have to work on a new P3D version of the AU waterbodies for P3D users that removes the seasonal changes (or makes them external via a switch in the control panel). Until then the workaround is to not fly during the wet season. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYo Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thank You, I'll wait for any news . Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Banks Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Until then the workaround is to not fly during the wet season. I'm confused (doesn't take much )! It's high summer right now in Australia (and New Zealand) - and my P3D uses real time/weather. That's the season I had when I took the pics. Adam.

Krono Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Adam It will depend on where you are flying in Australia for your weather. Because Aus is so vast fron North to South we have huge weather differences. I live in South Australia where it is as you say high summer, however if you go to the top end (Darwin) the wet season starts around October and most of Darwins weather falls between Jan and March. This could quite easily lead to some confusion when trying not to fly in the wet season as a go around. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticBeauty Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 there's no default option for seasonal changes in lakes and rivers in either FSX or P3D but we've discovered a clever workaround back in 2009 that, unfortunately, gets partially broken by P3Dv2.

Now that 2.5 is getting close, do you have any idea if they did anything for the issue? Or do you have to wait for the beta which will be released this week according to them?
