The true power of Vector is realized when paired with its siblings: and FTX Global LC (LandClass) . While the Base pack replaces generic textures and LandClass dictates where those textures go (e.g., forest vs. city), Vector provides the "cookie cutter" that defines the borders. Without Vector, even the best textures would bleed into the ocean or be interrupted by jagged, inaccurate shorelines. By aligning the geographic boundaries with the high-resolution textures, ORBX created a cohesive, immersive environment that brought FSX and P3D much closer to the visual standards of the modern era.
