Signalman1 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm using UTX 2.1 USA and GEX 2.0 NA. I've noticed these green/brown strips mainly in the southeastern part of the U.S. They don't appear to be the usual urban/rural roads that are normally depicted. They mainly appear in forested areas. When they end at a body of water, i.e. river, they don't continue across the river via a bridge or tunnel(see bottom photo) Anyone know what they are supposed to represent? Thanks.

ScatterbrainKid Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Can you give us a precise location so we can do a flyover to check them out from various heights and angles, and land near them to take soil samples and geiger counter readings etc? I suspect alien involvement as usual..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPSFA Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Powerlines most likely, maybe secondary roads. fly down and take a look :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Powerlines - for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signalman1 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Affirmative. They are powerline "encasements". They exist in the real world but they are too wide as depicted in FSX. There is a way to significantly reduce their visual impact in FSX and make them more realistic, IMO. (With all credit to "NickN" who provided this tip) You will have to edit your terrain.cfg file (located in the root of FSX) As always, BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL Open and scroll down. Find: // Misc vector types - utility [Texture.201] And in that section, replace the value on this line� StripWidthMeters=40 to 20 or 25 // Misc vector types - utility [Texture.202] StripWidthMeters=40 to 20 or 25 http://www.simforums.com/forums/power-line-encasements_topic23661.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
