I have a problem that has being annoying me for a while, the edges of water in flight simulator 10 do not fit in with the rest of the scenery mainly because the small area of land around the water is a different colour, the only scenery addons i have are GEX and REX. please help. I also have blurry scenery at a distance and the other forums do not answer this, i have tried my best and i was really looking for SPECIFIC advice so i have included a screenshot over Manchester UK.

 

Sorry, I can't see your screenshot

 

I'm just guessing, but the water may look wrong because it's lacking shorelines. A product like UTX can help with that. Also, upgraded mesh can help with sloping the terrain around the water which helps make it look natural, but I do recommend getting accurate terrain (eg UTX) if you add upgraded mesh. A simpler solution would be to buy Orbx England which gives you upgraded terrain, mesh, textures and other improvements, and it works very nicely with REX water and sky textures. FS Water Configurator is a free app which can also help to make the water more natural, but it doesn't help with shorelines.

 

For blurry scenery at a distance, see the guide pinned at the top of this forum. You might need to increase your LOD_RADIUS but too much increase causes framerate issues or OOM's.

Thank you, i have installed water configurator and will try UTX, i will get back to you on that  

Ultimate Terrain X fixes a lot of scenery issues.  I have UTX-USA and UTX-Tropical Americas.  Great products, but be warned, some airports in FSX are not where they should have been placed.  UTX moves some airports to their correct geographic positions, that means add-on airports may no longer be where they are supposed to be.

Yeah, I wish UTX could automatically disable their airport corrections when they confict with 3rd party addons. I had UTX Canada bury an airport (CYRV) under Orbx NRM mesh. Fortunately it's fairly easy to disable the UTX corrections via their setup tool.
