I am currently testing various interesting and exotic airports to approach and departure with the Fenix, and I have noticed that the area around the airport Gibraltar (airport code LXGB) is half-way sunken
Please consider fixing this area with the next sim update.
Thank you very much and always have a great flight!
The strange thing is, I don´t have a specific Gibraltar airport or any Gibraltar location enhancement mod.
265 folders are in the Community folder and especially the southern islands of Europe, Spain Greece and the Middle American islands are heavily modded and with custom airports - I am sure one of these folders create this conflict with the knowledge that the default sim LXGB looks allright.
Finding out what mod will be a long and painful search âŚ
I have not yet reported as a bug with a ticket, but like I said I don´t use a custom Gibraltar airport because none exists, that´s why I was not sure if it´s a Flight Sim bug or Community folder bug.
Otherwise I would have removed it, the Palma di Mallorca terrain and scenery enhancement is also no longer functional for example.
If other users without mods are reporting and showing Gibraltar to be correct, then it isnât a defect that Asobo can address. This is one of the known side effects of having too many mods, or even Marketplace add-ons: sooner or later they will interact with one another in an unexpected and usually defective way.
I know it can`t be fixed when it looks fully normal in the Flight Sim of all other users. Maybe it´s some terrain 3D mesh problem and one of the download packages was corrupted, maybe re-downloading one of the world packages that covers this area will fix it.
This is how it looks like with all mods in the Community folder removed (except the Fenix Airbus - because I don´t wand to risk removing it).
There is a second thing to try, there is some HD terrain offline feature somewhere implemented in the sim. Download this area and saving it on the harddisk can be usefull to check if this strange rendering problem still exists.
Take one half and remove it. Error gone? Then itâs part of the removed addons. Still bad? Remove another half of the addons. Do that a couple of times and youâve got your culprit.
Yeah, what he said, and likely also delete the rolling cache, as Gibraltar has been updated through the simupdates. Hope you get it working again as it should!
Itâs called âbinary searchâ - we software engineers use this all the time Runs in O (log N) time (where N being the number of input elements and log to the base 2)
for a âhand craftedâ airport, I would have expected better from the developers.
I am from Gibraltar and live here and can help the developers with accurate photos etc if required. The rock just doesnât look right and special features such as the castle are missing. A rushed job
