Area Increase Factor in Landscape Areas doesn't work

[Michal Zarzecki]

Hi All,

I noticed today that Area Increase Factor in Landscape Area settings doesn't seem to have an effect on the plant numbers in VW 2023.

The instance on the left has AIF set to 1. On the right it's set to 2, but the number of plants is the same. Do I have to take any extra steps to make it work in this version?

 

 

Also, if a Landscape Area is sent to surface AIF is disabled altogether.

Hi @Michal Zarzecki, I think you've found a bug for the calculation of Landscape areas on flat surface - I'll file a Jira on it.

However, when you're using a site model, the calculation is automatically disabled, as the site model will take care of the increased surface area.

Was this issue ever fixed? I'm having the same problem whereby the landscape area increase factor isn't working in 2023. I may have to go back to 2022 which isn't ideal. I'm also having problems in older files (2021) where the rate change doesn't even effect numbers.
