Jon Clarke Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I was not sure in to which forum the topic of Gibraltar should go so i am putting it here on the assumption that it fits in with Open LC EU. My observations at Gibraltar are the houses/buildings are occupying the Rock which is not correct and many of the buildings are either floating or hanging off the Rock. No matter what i do i cannot get the Rock clean of autogen buildings. Is there a way i can achieve this as the way it looks now is terrible. I have Open LC, Global and vector active at the time.

Captain Lars Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You could make of course a fake airport, just for excluding the autogen. But I agree on that on such a prominent place like Gibraltar this shouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I have not flown out of Gibraltar with Global/Vector/OpenLC, but unlike a full fat region or airport add-on, I don't think it's meant to be a spot on recreation of that area. You may want to look into a separate add-on for that airport/area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORBX says all LC is manually placed so maybe this one is overlooked or the cliff is located within an urban tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger hopkins Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 just had a look, Im quite surprised as to how good it is. I have the same EU region with global and vector with no floating and buildings where they should be. I did do a vector auto config for elevations maybe this is what is required. you can find it in the Orbx vector folder and adobe reader for more info if thats any help. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Here are some screengrabs of my Orbx Gibraltar with FTX Global/FTX Vector and openLC Europe installed. As Roger says, I think you should run your Global Vector Configuration Tool and make sure also that you have the latest libraries installed. Checking that your Library Insertion Points are also OK would also be a good idea. Best of luck Kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I thought bvdboomen originally said that there should be no buildings at all on the rock itself? I don't know how remove them from the rock. The Vector configurator tool will make them stop floating, but not remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 ... and if you want a better representation of the area, you should consider a 3rd party add-on. Gives you a good airport, acceptable city & habour, buildingless rock (though the rock is photorealistic, means blurry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was indeed what I ment. Google "gibraltar rock" and watch the photographs. Stillwater has a good point. If we want the rock right, then a higher detail add-on is required but there's nothing wrong with placing a Switzerland like texture over the rock if that is possible within the limitations of the sims.

Chunk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If that's the case, I know of at least one major developer that does this scenery in their "X" series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The "Rock" does indeed have structures on it. Google Satellite view here. http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=370&c=&ll=36.123304,-5.347037&spn=0.026479,0.040855&t=k&hl=en Agree that some of the structures are hanging off the side and look ridiculous that way.

Jon Clarke Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks for your inputs. @spud, the area i am talking about where I have buildings hanging is on the main and highest area of the Rock, which by looking at the Google link you gave me shows no buildings. The attached pic shows where i mean. You can clearly see the main rock creates a shadow but the rock itself does not have buildings. I will try the options given in the replies above and see if it gives a better rendition. Thanks for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
