I first thought of Asia as well but thanks to your inputs I then had a closer look at Europe. You were right, it‘s salines.

BTW @Shack95 you should have a look how the sim autogen renders the greenhouses. I am afraid there is a problem here. Just sayin'...

Already done. I can‘t say more about it I‘m afraid.

You are good !  They still have a little work to do on water. A salt pond is not a coral reef 😄 !

Shack95 to the rescue once again 🙂 Thanks a lot.

People are SO hard to please,We have seen places where they complain about tropical waters, not looking tropical at all, and now it's salt ponds looking tropical, gee what's next 🙂

Well unless users point this out, they can’t do anything.

Someone open this area in OSM and see how they’re defined. That could be the culprit.

 Waters have always been one of the weak points in FS sceneries. Something I do not understand is why couldn't they render the proper hues and colors knowing that their underlying layer is imagery. No sarcasm here, just an observation, and yes!, my dear Jorn, I like to see my waters right : tropical, salted, silted, shallow and so on and so forth to where they belong. I am hard to please 😃.  A good customer is/should be. It helps the designer to do his or her utmost.

There is the area in OSM

This Screenshot by LurkingDodo from the latest published Developer Update release, appears to have been taken on approach to NZMF in New Zealand's Milford Sound which is located in a Fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island within Fiordland National Park, and it has been acclaimed as one of New Zealand's most famous tourist destination places. Rudyard Kipling had previously called it the eighth Wonder of the World.

Believe me, so do I 🙂 I was been sarcastic because people always can find something to complain about. Trees, undulating runways, water etc. Everyone seem to forget how HUGE the world is, and it's impossible to get everything right. I'm sure it will be corrected bit by bit, just give it time.

Well done our Shack. 

Wasn't there another screenshot a few updates ago from some salines somewhere - only more brightly coloured than these?

Did we nail those down?

I love this thread because it's just visuals with no discussion about whether things look right or wrong - especially trees - and goodness - there's plenty of other threads around here if you want to lock horns with others on the subject.

It's just a visual feast. It shouldn't be anything more.

Do you mean this one?

Potash Evaporation Ponds, near Moab in Utah.

Yeah, that's it Shack,

When I was hunting about in the med earlier there were ponds which looked just like that in Ibiza...I guess it's all salt...I thought the coloured salt you buy was dyed - I didn't realise it was harvested that colour - must be something - I'm guessing - to do refraction and pH/ acidity/ alkalinity.

It's like a Piet Mondrian painting on a massive scale.
