Looking for that river tweak

[Guest ightenhill]

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

[Farlis 2,277]

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

[Guest ightenhill]

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

[G-SWSM 1]

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

[Guest ightenhill]

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

[Guest ightenhill]

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.
