For those running the V1.30 installer, the process followed a specific sequence:
Version 1.30 was a milestone update developed in partnership with PILOT’S, utilizing accurate vector data source material to align the simulator's layout with reality. Key Vector Components Enhanced Provides the high-resolution terrain mesh
: Corrects the elevation for thousands of default airports to prevent "plateau" or "trench" effects often caused by third-party terrain mesh. Version 1.30 Context
Without accurate vector data, even the highest-resolution ground textures will look wrong. A highway might slice straight through a football stadium, or a famous lake might be completely missing. FTX Global Vector V1.30 corrects these structural lines on a global scale. Key Features of Version 1.30
