Hello Floria,

 

1. You should not apply any elevation fixes to South America if you're only using the default mesh. It looks like what you have there is a corrected lake elevation (probably corrected by FTX Vector) but since the default FSX mesh is inaccurate in many places, it will show like that. It's actually not related to the Quito scenery as it does not change any water bodies elevations.

 

2. The satellite imagery does not extend that far from the airport, hence the surrounding was done with just a landclass texture/autogen combination.

 

3. In FSX, the light splashes may cause some flicker when viewed from top-down angle, since it does not support FSX material for ground polygons which is required for the light. In Prepar3d this is not a problem and also in testing we found a sweet spot for FSX where the flicker does not happen in normal operations, taxi, landing etc.
