divermar Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have a question about what can be done to correct a visible snow line that occurs when two FTX Terrain Regions meet. I'm assuming that there is snow because this is a winter flight but in the picture you can see snow in CRM region (right side) but no snow in the PNW region (left side). This is flying over the Columbia river between Washington and Oregon date 3/8/2015 Here is FTX Central report of installed products: FTX AA ORBX LIBRARIES VER 150215 15TH FEBRUARY 2015FTX GLOBAL BASE PACK - Version 1.30 September 2014FTX GLOBAL FREEWARE AIRPORTS NORTH AMERICA PACKS 1 to 20 - Version 1.00 January 2015FTX GLOBAL VECTOR PACK - Version 1.20 October 2014FTX NA CRM Central Rocky Mountains V1.00 Patch 004 February 2015 FTX NA NCA Northern California V1.10 Patch 001 June 2014 FTX NA NRM Northern Rocky Mountains V1.00 PATCH 004 April 2014FTX NA PNW PACIFIC NORTHWEST V1.0 PATCH 008 February 2014 FTX openLC Base Region Version 1.10 - September 2013 FTX openLC Europe Region 1 (Baltics Demo) Version 1.10 - September 2013 FTX openLC North America Region 1 Version 1.00 - September 2013 https://www.dropbox.com/s/k3y8ig4nqkls3h6/ORBX_Scenery_2015-03-08_12-19-53.jpg?dl=0 The library insertion points are in the same order after installation.

Holger Sandmann Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Mark, interesting, you seem to have discovered an inconsistency along the boundaries of the custom seasons control files for PNW and CRM that becomes obvious during February and March due to the difference between mild and hard winter seasonal variants. I've made a note to look into this for future CRM or PNW service packs. However, it won't be an easy fix because there are other elements within each region -- photoreal areas, "freezing" waterbodies, separate airport add-ons, etc. -- that are dependent on the specific seasonal changes delivered with the current control files. That means we'd have to carefully check all those dependencies in the affected transition zone between the two products. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermar Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Holger, Thank you for the reply, I hope its not too much of a fix, I'll keep an eye out for it. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermar Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I found a way to "fix" the problem. I put the CRM lower in priority then the PNW in the Scenery configuration. This smoothed it out completely, there isn't a line. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
