Water features are notoriously difficult to render in flight simulators. In previous versions, users often reported "missing water" in famous bays or rivers that appeared as dry land. Version 1.20 introduced a massive correction to hydrological data. It corrected the positioning of water polygons, ensuring that iconic locations like the San Francisco Bay or the fjords of Norway appeared correctly. The "waterclass" enhancements meant that tropical waters looked turquoise and murky northern waters looked deep blue, adding a layer of realism that transformed low-altitude VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flying.
Vector is on frames. It adds thousands of linear vector objects per tile. On a mid-range system (i5-8400, GTX 1060, 16GB), expect a 5–10 FPS hit over dense urban areas. Use the Control Panel to disable “Light Polygons” and “Secondary Roads” for a smoother ride.
Using data from OpenStreetMap and USGS, v1.20 pushes the resolution of shorelines down to Level of Detail (LOD) 15. This means you can fly at 500 feet AGL and see realistic rocky inlets in Norway or the mangroves of Florida without jagged edges. -FSX P3D- ORBX FTX Global Vector v1.20
Addressed previous issues with incomplete data and improved the reliability of the Orbx Vector Configurator tool.
For bush pilots in Alaska or Canada, v1.20 introduced seasonal ice masking. During winter months, lakes and slow-moving rivers turn into white, solid surfaces (visual only—do not land a 747 on them). Water features are notoriously difficult to render in
When Microsoft released Flight Simulator X in 2006, it was a technological marvel. However, the default scenery relied heavily on generic, automated data. While the elevation mesh (the shape of the mountains) was decent, the landclass (what covers the ground—forests, cities, deserts) and vectors (roads, rivers, coastlines) were often inaccurate or devoid of detail.
Unlike texture packs that change how the ground looks, Vector changes where objects are placed. It corrected the positioning of water polygons, ensuring
