High Priority (Keep ON)

Frozen Water (ON): Essential for winter flying in Alaska or Scandinavia.
Custom Coastlines (ON): This is why you bought VECTOR.
Highway/Roads (ON): Low performance hit, huge visual gain.

Tab 3: Roads & Railways

The "Best" Visual Setting: Enabled.
The "Best" Performance Setting: Disable "Light Bloom" on roads and disable "Railway Electrification" (the wires take a lot of draw calls).
Traffic: If you use AI Traffic add-ons (like Ultimate Traffic), set Road Traffic density to 15% or less. Vector draws real roads; if you have 100% cars, your CPU will melt.

2. The World Becomes Navigate-able

If you enjoy VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flying, Vector is a game-changer. In the default sim, trying to follow a highway or a river to navigate is a recipe for getting lost. The default roads often don't align with reality. This is a request to produce a short

ORBX Vector corrects road and highway positions using real-world data. You can literally follow Route 66 or the Autobahn visually. For helicopter pilots and bush pilots, this adds a layer of realism that high-quality aircraft simply cannot provide on their own. High Priority (Keep ON)

FSX/P3D with ORBX FTX Global and Vector — Best Setup Overview

This write-up summarizes the benefits, key features, and recommended setup for using Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) or Prepar3D (P3D) together with ORBX’s FTX Global and FTX Vector to get the best global scenery performance and visual quality.

The Bad (The Fine Print)

Vector is a Performance Hog: In dense areas (Europe, Japan, US Northeast), Vector can cost you 5-15 FPS, especially on FSX (which is single-core bound). P3D v4+ handles it better.
The "Vector Elevation" Problem: You will get plateaus, sunken airports, or roads floating over runways. The ORBX Vector Configurator (AEC – Airport Elevation Correction) is mandatory. Run it every time you install a new airport.
Install Order Matters: Get this wrong and you’ll see default textures poking through. The rule: 1) Base, 2) Vector, 3) OpenLC (if you have it), 4) Mesh, 5) Airports.
