KNOWN ISSUES & LIMITATIONS

Some seams or gaps are visible at the terrain near the St.Barts airport (TFFJ). This
is caused by our custom 3D terrain and the fact that FSs mesh terrain is not 100%
predictable depending on the users Max_Vertex setting. Our custom 3D terrain has
been adjusted and faded on the edges for minimal seams and best visual blending.
For best result use a Max_Vertex setting of 21. In FSX the mesh resolution slider
should be at 19m or further to the right.

Flying/falling through the terrain at ST.Barts and Saba. The custom 3D terrain has
been hardened using FSs platform command. Under certain conditions this can fail
(Slew-mode for example). If your aircraft always falls through the terrain at Saba or
St.Barts please contact us.
