Israh Tutorial Incise-Flow Breakthrough?

[Wil]

So I've seen lots of threads about the famed Genesis of Israh tutorial and the incise flow steps not working. I've seen the problems with it not working myself. After a lot of fiddling around and starting over, I think I figured it out.

1) The order of the incise flow parameters is not reversed. They are just fine.

2) You need to make sure you have high enough mountain ranges for this to work. Working with his parameters of @16k m for the highest peaks is fine. Don't go any lower.

2) Fractal Terrains 3 loses some of the world settings each time you open the file. One of them is the Editing Size. This must be put back to 4096 in order for the incise flows to work properly. Every time you open your file.

If you do these things, the incise flows will work properly. The results will obviously vary somewhat depending on the exact seed, and you will get a lot of lakes. But your mountains won't get flattened.
