Im trying to find the tweak that stops rivers in fs9 running in gorges (as below) but dont seem to be able to find it

It's in the first two entries of the terrain.cfg

thanks.. but i have also forgotton what to do with it.. :(

Me too, what do we have to enter / adjust etc.Thanks

It's been a while since I did this, but I think changing the "offset" from -10 to -5 is what did the trick for me.John

You are right but I heard a -3 would make it look more realistic.I guess it's your own personal preference.Paul.

hi guy's,can you show us please what text you altered please.thank you

oops, just found it, and changed it to -3.so what will this do guy's.Thanks again for the help.

if you look at my screen at the top the river seems to be in a deep trench... this should correct that.

Yes your rivers and streams will look like that and not deep gorges or something :)Anyways you can always experiment - make them shallower or deeper depending on your liking.Enjoy.Paul.

HiLooked in terrain.cfg, but couldn't find 'offset'Any clues ?CheersDave

your terrain cfg is in your main fs9 folder dont confuse it with your fs9.cfg.. the entries are the bottom lines of the first two Texture sections as shown below[General]DefaultTextureCount=238AutogenCount=14// texture order = wi,hw,sp,su,fa,nighttexture//Stream Lines[Texture.1024] // stream lines / unknown / perennialType=1Size=4ExcludeAutogen=1MaskClassMap=3Textures=RiverSU.bmpoffset=-2[Texture.1025] // stream lines / unknown / non-perennialType=1Size=4ExcludeAutogen=1MaskClassMap=3Textures=RiverSU.bmpoffset=-2

If you have good 38m Mesh (FSGenesis etc) you can even make the Offset=0. Because the mesh itself has all the elevationdata available. That way it's the most realistic possible.
