Timmy74 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have installed thenew Scotland update. However, the large gray square where Nessie (The Loch Ness Monster) is suppose to be swimming is still there and no Nessie!?! Will this ever be fixed? It puts a real downer flying over an otherwise fantastic scenery..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hello, Forgive my ignorance, is this square always there or only when the monster should be? I have never had the patience to find it, can you give me a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it can be seen for miles as you approach the area....very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks, I don't see it so I am guessing that it has been fixed but somehow the fix is not working on your PC. Should I expect to see it in this shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi,In case you use P3D, you should install the latest version or else grey remains. You can see there is no trouble into the Preview in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I expect to see it in this shot? That shot is from the South West end of Lochness (Fort Agustus). The issue is at the North East end near Urquhart Castle.

"You can see there is no trouble into the Preview in April" What does this mean? No matter what time of year I get the grey square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I stated in my second post...the square disappears when you are directly over it. When you either fly away or towards that area it shows up.

Handie Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I went there and I saw this gray rectangle, visible only at a certain distance from this point and at a certain height. This is not where I saw the Nessie. I'm with P3D v2.4 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburkhard Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Richard, Nessie's home is still a solide white square after a fresh install of Scotland in P3D v4. But as it was the case with V3, this isn't visible at all angles. I'll check tomorrow if the file above also fixes the issue in V4, it had worked fine in V3.

mburkhard Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 @Richard Bui Unfortunately the fix you posted above no longer works in P3D v4. That huge white square at Nessie's home is there to stay. In v3 your fix had worked just fine. Instead of fixing the transparency issue and wasting time in that process, can't you just provide a BGL file with the creature removed entirely? I really don't need it to enjoy Scotland Here's a screenshot out of v4, the square has actually grown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white square in this thread is very specific to Nessie's home. It had been fine in P3D v2, but it took ORBX over a year to fix it in V3, and now the issue is back in V4. I wish that creature would just be removed by ORBX so we can be done with that once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
