Three things in three pics seems odd

Featured Replies

I use FSX with Acc pack and UTX USA anf GEX and FSGenesis mesh. Around Seattle I encountered three things that does not seem correct. See the three pics.1) Shouls the airport really be that white? Weather thunderstorm.2) What is that lightblue patch in the grey water and in front of the plane?3) What is this white terrain in front of the plane?

I dont know about the last two, but the first one is FSX's really bad rain effect on the tarmac. If you get up close to the taxiways etc you'll notice some bump mapping making it look like the tarmac is wet. It just looks horrible from a distance though

This looks like you may have somehow enabled UTX's ice textures for water features.See the suggestions in these threads on the UTX Support Forum for how to potentially correct it if this is what is happening.http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=27441http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=30774Jeff

Not sure about all of them but the first one is not that unnatural in strong daylight. It's sort of similar to something I tend to point out to people when I teach them Photoshop; an example I often use is to tell students to look at the colour of a dirt path the next time they walk down one in bright sunlight, most people would probably draw a dirt path with a brownish colour if you asked them to do so with a coloured pencil, but when you look at one in bright light, it can often look like a very pale whitish grey, a similar thing happens with the bark on trees, which again people would tend to imagine is brown, but when you look at it, it appears really rather light grey in colour unless wet.Wet concrete aprons on airports are going to bounce a lot of light off the sky for sure since they are well clear of buildings that block ambient light from all directions, but given that the sky is usually a leaden grey in such rainy conditions, it may be a little too far on the pale side of things. So based on the appearance of your Cessna in the pics, which is also very whitish and losing some of the corrugation detailing on the flying surfaces, I'd be inclined to drop the gamma settings on your graphics card, as it does look like things are 'whiting out' a bit too much.Al
