Mount Otemanu in Bora Bora is bugged

Hi bush pilots and adventure fans,

today I have noticed that in one of the sightseeing locations (Bora Bora in French-Polynesia) has a bugged scenery. Mount Otemanu is missing a lot of polygones and parts of it´s top.
Please fix this beautyful location, thanks :slight_smile:

(Of course everything is on ultra and maxed-out.)

Reload it and it will be fixed, this happens sometimes and most of the time its a rendering problem, also happens a lot with buildings.

Hi, no unfortunately it is not fixed. I just started the sightseeing flight with the Cessna and the bug was still there. Already sent it to ZenDesk to get this beautyful scenery fixed :slight_smile:

Yes.

It’s a massive hole you can see from the airport. You can fly the drone into it and go down inside the mountain. It definitely wasn’t there before the update, as I was based in Bora Bora for a week when I first bought the sim a month ago.

Thanks for reporting - confirmed on Xbox as well! Before the update the mountain was fine, after the update a large hole in the top of the mountain - can see oddity from airport (up close graphic corruption)… other than that Bora Bora looks amazing thank you!

I tested in my computer and I don’t have the hole in the mount otemanu… Im at 4k, dx12, FSR quality, ULtra on a 6800xt. Latest drivers. Maybe is a problem with some settings?

Yes confirmed too. I was about to report it. It is an eye soaring bug for that paradise island. It is not a “settings” issue. You can see it even in the latest SimFlightPro YT video (6:12). I hope they fix that asap, I want to take screenshots and videos of the place.

Not sure why you can’t replicate - lucky you don’t experience it, quite an eyesore :slight_smile: Tried again today after cache clear and still a lovely hole on top the mountain, not sure how it was passed through testing, noticed it right from the airport. Then again, the Toronto CN tower is still a mess from the Canada update. All good though, appreciate the updates they are pushing! :+1:

You have to approach it from the south-east (NTTB airport). On the other side of the mountain, it’s ok.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Brief description of the issue:

A Rock model used in the rocky mountaintops of Moorea and Bora Bora have incorrect normals/models causing one side to be shown as a gaping hole in the side of the mountain. Need to recalculate the normals or fix this mesh.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Clearly obvious here

But in the distance you can see it still.

I have uninstalled, re installed it, but it’s still hollow on the top (Xbox version

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Still same bug here.

Same, it can be seen for quite some distance, tried to fix it, didn’t work. Also, it looks like the mesh is wrong or needs to be flattened the only part of the mountain should be the model.

Sad, still not fixed. Hope next update - really enjoy flying Bora Bora, its a load screenshot as well.

Looks like issue is fixed for me in SU13 Beta 1.34.14.0 even if I don’t see nothing related to Oceania in the release notes. Does anyone else that is under the beta could also confirm ?
