answered Mountain Details Orbx Germany South

[Fabiano 1]

Is this supposed to be like this - raw mountains with no details, artificial and simple inside Germany South ? In the background you see Austria with Austria HD scenery, what a difference ! And what can I do with the blue area on the water you can see in the screenshot ?

Hello,

one product is photo scenery, the other is not.

You can probably solve the blue area in the water by disabling

frozen water in winter in the relevant control panels.

Thanks Nick, so the mountains in Orbx Germany South are usually better detailed ? How can I solve the probleme ?

 

And with water, I will try to disable the "frozen" part.

Hello,

it is not a problem, it is the nature of the two types of scenery generation.

Your Austria product is photo scenery.

Your Orbx product is landclass scenery.

Here is one of many articles that you could read on the subject.

Thanks Nick,

 

but does that mean, that south part of germany (covered by Orbx Germany South, additionally all Global-Orbx-products like Base Pack, Open LC Europe and Vectors) and more precise, the mountains on german border to austria can not be displayed in better quality because of the fact, as you mentioned, Orbx is landclass and austria hd is photo-scenery ? Can´t I put the germany south scenery on top of the austrian one e.g. to have better south german mountains, which is still germany and should not have anything to do with the austrian country ? Or are the mountains developed very simple in this area by Orbx and the quality is like it is on the screenshot and is not getting better ?

If I may:  The problem is simply this--the simulator, given a choice, will always select photoscenery over land class scenery.  Placement of the scenery entries as you are suggesting will do no good.  The simulator will select the photoscenery every time.

Thanks Stewart,

 

my question still is : germany (and the Orbx scenery South Germany) is germany - and austria is austria (with its scenery). So isn´t it possible to have the nice mountains for germany from Orbx and nice ones in austria from austria HD ?

Hello,

it is not possible to make them look the same.

Hi Nick,

 I did not want to ... but I thought, that the mountain-quality in the Orbx Germany South (still within german territory) would be much better than my screenshot showed !
