October 29, 201510 yr I have stripped Vector down as per David's 2.5 advice and am quite happy with that. I leave it there for high or low level flying
October 29, 201510 yr I want Vector only for high resolution terrain map.. like for Asia. and maybe their night lights (major highways?) ... Hope those two would not take too much VAS or FPS Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
October 29, 201510 yr Frozen water feature in winter not working? The setting "Frozen Water" does not seem to (s)tick in the Vector Config tool. P3Dv3 and Vector V1.3 installed with P3Dv3 installer. Also Global and OpenLC NA CANAK (all with the P3Dv3) installer.
October 29, 201510 yr Frozen water feature in winter not working? Not surprised - my confidence in this program is very low Rich Sennett
October 29, 201510 yr Not surprised - my confidence in this program is very low That's why I maintain a stripped down version on my install. I like it for the way it transforms coastlines and other water features, but I keep a lot of the roadways off, as well as the frozen waters and marshes. Tunnels kill my fps and vas. The AEC feature has never disappointed me either. I got sucked into it when it came out because I was told I needed it. Well, right now, I have FTX Global and FTX England installed but no Vector. Nothing has blown up, so I suspect I can actually get by without it so I'm not exactly rushing to download the update. -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit

October 29, 201510 yr Totally agree Jim Orbx has my money but I think vector will remain on FSS server I may still give it a go and see how it runs in v3, on my own rig. It ran decent (nothing extraordinary) in v2.5 before, so it's worth a test I guess. -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
October 29, 201510 yr Seems they fixed the occasional black water textures that occurred when you installed the 2.5 version into 3.0. Also, just a reminder to folks. AEC should not be used unless its actually needed. The 'auto-configuration' enables airport corrections when their is no need for them in many cases. I just disable them all completely, unless their is some stock elevation that really doesn't match up with FreeMeshX Global. Daniel Moser
October 29, 201510 yr Uninstalling this if I am not happy will be a horror show so I think I will pass - but looking forward to your findings for sure :wink: Rich Sennett

Also Global and OpenLC NA CANAK (all with the P3Dv3) installer. Well as I read this thread at OrbX forum (http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/103205-vector-frozen-water-question/) It seems that it is turned off (and can't be turned on) by design (workaround)?
October 29, 201510 yr Uninstalling this if I am not happy will be a horror show so I think I will pass - but looking forward to your findings for sure :wink: Curious Rich, what makes it so horrible? My perhaps flawed understanding is that unchecking the folders in the scenery.cfg plus disabling another entry manually render it....unused. Which I've done while testing UTX against it. I guess I'm wondering, are there P3D core files that are swapped out besides?

October 29, 201510 yr My examinations says no. I like that as an answer, thanks. I guess I'm off to install and see what comes of it. i7-9700K, MSI Z370, PNY 4070 Super, GTX 750Ti, 32GB GSkill, 43" curved Samsung, 32" BenQ, 11" LED, RealSImGear GTN750, Win10, P3DV5.4/P3DV6 and MSFS, several GoFlight modules, Saitek radio, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Virtual Fly TQ6.
October 29, 201510 yr I will install and try it out, but to be honest i didn't miss anything with only LC and global base installed. I'm mostly flying high, so do we really need it? I'm not sure.. Svein T Multi Crew script and checklist
October 29, 201510 yr Good points Dave - well if you have turn most of it off in my mind what good is it Hi Rich, Because I only fly high, I like it for the Main and secondary roads but the thing I like best is the coastlines and water edging. All the rest for me is a waste of time. Just did ENGM - EKCH, the coastline and large and small lakes/rivers looked stunning. Only did one screen shot not a very good one to show lakes etc. Like everything else in our hobby each to there own and what ever works for you. :smile: DOF 29/10/2015 Flight number 737TOUR Departure ENGM Destination EKCH Pilot David Murden (BAW1018) Act. duration 01:21 (1.4 hrs) Sched. duration 00:00 (0.0 hrs) Conformance 0% Network OFFLINE T/D rate -152 fpm Start weight 65340.09 kg End weight 62234.36 kg Distance flown 330 nm Cruise level FL330 Flightplan OKSA9B OKSAT L996 SVD SVD1E Alternate EKRK David Murden.
