Problem with Azov sea

[Anarcho-pilot]

Hello!
There is a deep-blue surface with white dots instead of water of Azov sea near Kirylivka, Ukraine. See below:


Where can I report this, and is it possible to fix it in the oficcial scenery?

How can I insert images? I uploaded them on my Google Drive, then made them public via following urls: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6UQ5W ... sp=sharing and https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6UQ5W ... sp=sharing
In my post I typed [imag]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6UQ5WW3e1kaUWVjQmExVWV2Snc/view?usp=sharing[/img] and [imag]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6UQ5WW3e1kaTmpfc0N3X2haREE/view?usp=sharing[/img] (whithout "a" before url) but the only thing we can see is the word "image". Please help me!

Seems like the lake is frozen...

[wkitty42]

yup! looks like a frozen lake with broken ice floating about on it from here, too...

[Anarcho-pilot]

Yes, it really looks like frozen lake with floating ice, but it's condition doesn't depend on ground textures (summer/winter) or date of flight. It is always frosen. The water of the nearby liman displays correctly:

Here is the compare of Azov water and frozen water with winter textures:

And the Compare of Azov water and water with floating ice cover:

As you can see, there is a big difference in both cases.

Probably it's misclassified in the geo-database that has been used to create that part of the world as packice (or so) and FG just faithfully mapped the landclass to the texture.

Google drive cannot be used for images posted here. You could try to use imgur.com, for example, as you don't even need an account to upload an image and show it here.

Seems to be. So, I've got a major question which mentions this topic: is it possible to make some changes and improvements to the official (which is distributing via TerraSync) scenery (I'm talking only about terrain, not objects) between new releases (v1.0, v2.0 etc.)? For example, nowadays in TerraSync scenery the shoreline near Golden Gates Bridge, San-Francisko is more accurate than in the first realease of Word Scenery 2.0 which is located here: http://ns334561.ip-5-196-65.eu/~fgscene ... 2.0.1.html Also for today the road under this bridge has been removed.

Thank you Edward! The problem with my screenshots is solved. Mega and Ukr.net eDisk cannot be used too.

Yep, FlightGear scenery is not perfect! I myself also found a few missclassified landclasses and a missing island in Portugal. But the world is so big, one cannot reasonably expect others to have a look at a scenery problem in a particular region.

So, the best way to help with this is to get your hands dirty and help the project: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scenery_enhancement

There are many ways you can help from modelling buildings or aircraft in Blender to enhance terrain scenary!

So, if you choose to help the project, have a look at the link I sent you and choose an area you think you could help. Then come back here with questions, these folks are amazing and always willing to help!

Thanks, Zequinha! I'll take a look.
