Ocean in Arizona??

[brucie1dog]

I was flying from KLAS to KPHX and all of sudden then I got a warning that said you're flying out of your area and an ocean appeared as I was nearing Phoenix. It remained there for the last 15 minutes of the flight. Enclosing a picture of the local map view.  I was so occupied by this that I ran off the runway in Phoenix and wound up in the ocean. Any ideas as to why this may have happened?

To me it looks like you are missing that part of the US scenery. In X-Plane without scenery (basic or HD) you get water. If you use the basic installation of X-Plane, check it with the latest installer available at Laminar to add scenery a map of your installed sceneries will be shown. I hope this rapidly written reply might be useful…

Hiya Andy,

The only time i've seen that ocean effect is when i'd done some mega distance on x6 speed

It cleared rapidly after going back to 'normal' game speed

Sounds like kickremi is right though

Hope you get it sorted

Hi Guys,

When I restarted X-Plane the scenery was back and the ocean was gone. When you say game speed not certain what you are speaking of?

Hiya Andy,

I meant speeding the game up via the local map option, it's rare i do speed things up but did notice i was afk a long while and came back to lovely blueness

If you do ever speed the game up, which obviously you've not previously done, just be aware that you can get blank blue ocean looking areas ahead or around

Over time, i'd imagine it's game-speed vs data processing, and the processing loses as the time progresses hehe

Onto your above settings, i've never tested or even googled it, but a well known x-plane guy i subbed to on yt said with DSF ticked/checked then whatever Anisotropic settings you choose have no input above the 1x setting

I still use 2x ssaa+fxaa and aniso at 1x, i tried raising them, fine n dandy until real heavy scenery or mega clouds, i've found my settings even with the new gpu is fine for me, like always, what one person likes another might dislike

Have Fun

Tony
