Harbour Town Golf Links 18th Hole

[inky160]

Here's some background scenery of the 18th hole at Harbour Town Golf Links.

 

Level of detail of Harbour Town Pier, Yacht Basin or Lighthouse are not very well illustrated in Bing data.

Baynard Cove looks like a swamp or maybe it's low tide.

So, just thought I would check out the landscape since the RBC Heritage Tournament was going on.

My thoughts are you that you are correct. A lot of places look less than attractive at low tide. And from your shot that be be exactly the case. Perhaps you could verify your suspicions by changing the time of day for your flight.

Actually I just looked up the tide chart there for today. Low tides are 04:22 and 16:07. High tides are 09:50 and max high 20:35.

 

I haven't tried it with MSFS but can see differences with some other sims based upon time of day. ;) So I would hope MSFS would as well. ;)

Based on Tide Charts for Harbour Island, I took this flight on a southerly course to Baynard Cove.

Time of day has no effect on tidal change, and no difference in shoreline (FS2020 v1.24.5).

Live Weather turned ON, where it was a calm day and no apparent tidal surges.

I might try Bay of Funday, Canada or Cook Inlet, Alaska on a day when tidal swings and Live Weather are extreme.
