June 21Jun 21 Hi guys, just got my eyes on RD Presets Gibraltar and wondering if anyone can give me some feedback. According to the sales blurb it is 2024 compatible. Does it run OK or are there any small issues? Also, is it possible to disable the rock, as I have seen some videos where IMO it loooks absolutely awful. More like a pile of mashed potato than a rock! Thanks.

June 21Jun 21 Lol!I literally just landed at the default LXGB and said to myself "hey, that looks pretty good"!It was dusk - so the lighting wasn't that great. Now I'm wondering if I got the wrong impression...
June 21Jun 21 I'd stay away from anything from RD Presets; I haven't seen one scenery yet that got favourable overall reviews from them For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

TBH, I'm surprised that one of the other devs haven't worked this iconic airport. MK studios or Pyreguee would be awesome!

June 21Jun 21 I have it and it looks great and really easy on performance. I fly the Fenix in and out of there on a frequent basis. Never had any issues with it.

I'm not sure if the rock is changed by developer or default, but I flown many helo flights around the rock and saw no issues. Also I have many RD preset sceneries installed. They all look great to me.

June 22Jun 22 I agree with you, Howard. The scenery looks quite nice, but the RD Presets team must have been smoking something dodgy when they rendered the Rock.

June 22Jun 22 I have this addon. The airport and the surroundings look very good. They remade the rock and it looked not that good.

The scenery looks quite nice, but I have absolutely no idea why RD Presets thought that changing the Rock to that appearance was a good idea. As you say, the default version is better than that.This is what my LXGB looks like, whether or not it true to life not sure.

June 22Jun 22 This one tortured me for a while, but ultimately, I have stayed with the default LXGB as the RD Presets just doesn't look that great especially the rock! Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
