Hi Folks,I've been enjoying FSX demo and look forward to getting mny hands on the real thing in October.I've been trying to figure out what the Detail Terrain check box is for?I've tried it with water set at High 1x and Low 2x and don't see much difference in the demo.What difference should I see?Thanks for your help.....

It may not be functional in the Demo, since it doesn't have all the textures.

Thanks for the very quick reply! I remember Tdragger replying to a similar post where he said to try Detail Terrain with water set at 1x and you should see a difference. Maybe I'll just have to wait wait for the full FSX to find out.Cheers...

In the beta going from 1x to 2x enables bump mapping and cloud/land/aircraft reflections on the surface of the water. I forget what the demo changes were but as mentioned it would depend on what textures are there or not. Phil

It does work in the demo, and (in the demo) does have issues with the new water.Off:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/155699.jpgOn:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/155700.jpgAny questions? :)"Let me help you out. You're cleared to taxi any way you can to any runway you see."

Thanks for the info folks and the screenshots. I tried it again and did see the difference but I got minor jerkiness with Detail Terrain on. Anyway, I'll wait until I get the finished product to see how it works.Cheers....
