Yes!!! I’m not going mad,always see it to the south west,a light grey triangle type shape which is a shame when your on an approach for 23 as the scenery is great otherwise.I’ve had this for a few months and thought it must be my system,really kills the immersion

Very immersion breaking. I thought it was all of my addon scenery but I uninstalled everything and it’s still there.

For me it disappears when you get to about 30NM or so. It also shows up on radar.

How has this not been fixed yet? This must have been leftover as a LOD issue from the previous terrain glitch on kangaroo island.

I think what happened was the terrain spike came with WU7 which you could fly right up to. They fixed that but somehow it’s still visible from Adelaide even though when you get close it disappears. It still looks like the same spike though. I don’t know how they did half a fix on it, it’s pretty ugly when using YPAD23.

My friend is from adelaide, we fly from YPPF fairly often. We’ve both seen it and given it a name. I really hate it. Vote added Asobo please fix.

I dropped a polite request to the moderators to review as this was not bug logged, and the result is now this is. Doesn’t guarantee a fix in any timescale but does mean that now they are tracking it internally on their todo list.

Good news for PC users, I’ve managed to fix the spike!

I wish we could do something for xbox users but sadly no.

You are the real MVP. Embarrassing for Asobo it took an end user to fix this. The mod works great, excellent work and thank you!

Thanks, happy to help! I thought there were just a few of us annoyed by this but 175 downloads in under 24 hours and a heap of comments saying thanks, clearly this kind of visual glitch frustrates people.
