Note:
1. In order to avoid framerates slowdown, different distance parameters are applied in every detailed objects so you have to get real close for these objects to appear. In the Boracay Oceans, you have to fly a little close to the sea level in order for you to witness the different aqua sports activities going on in the area.
2. You could land in the White Beach area and dash on the volleyball games or fly through the birds. But just dont bump on some of those boats.The scenery crash detection are enabled on them. But for the other buildings around the Caticlan airport ramp, they are disabled in order for you to pan during spot view.
