Curious case of tyres on the roof

Featured Replies

In the suburbs around Johannesburg, just west of FAOR, the houses are basic auto gen and do not resemble that actual structures. This is of course normal for most areas but what I did find odd is that many houses have an old car tyre or two on the roof. Many also have a couple bricks on them too.

it is not uncommon for shack dwellers in South Africa to do this to weight down the shack roof so it does not get blown away in the wind but these tyres are everywhere. My house has a tyre and a few bricks, all in fairly good quality texture, lying on the roof. (and before you say it, no, I am not simming in a shack).

How did Autogen scenery place tyres on roofs like this? Someone at Asobo must have surely coded it? And how does that impact FPS, drawing all these tyres and bricks I wonder. Seems odd, crass or amusing, depending on your way of looking at it.
