Rocky_53

Hi matey, sure, I don't have the scenery, hence the reason for my question.

I'm hoping someone can clarify something for me. When RD Preset released Gibraltar, I was disappointed with the rendition of The Rock, as for me, personally, I thought it looked like a bowl of mashed potato! However, having seen some recent videos and screenshots of the same scenery, it now looks very different and more like what I would expect. I'm wondering if the devs have redesigned The Rock. Can anyone confirm my thoughts, thanks. Personally, I think this looks awful...

Hi Keith. I've been unsuccessful over at SimOuthouse, the originator of the B24 is reluctant to let me have the model for good reasons he explained to me. I don't have the FSX version either sadly. It was just an idea I had that would have helped out this history society that is putting together a short web video of a memorial of the crashing of a B24 on the Mendip hills in WW2. I thought it would be cool to reconstruct the flight for them. Thanks for the suggestion though. Cheers. EDIT: Just wondering if there is a free version that is reasonable that I could find somewhere and get it ported?

Yup, I thought it was just me. Darn annoying. The filters are still there, but at a value I didn't save!

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. I'll follow your lead. Cheers.

I'm hoping someone out there may be able to help. I'm adding some drone shots to a short video that someone is making about the crash of a US B24 J Liberator, that came down on the Mendips, in Somerset, during WW2. It's only for a historical society's website, but I wanted to offer some help to them. In addition, I thought it could be fun if I could grab some video footage of the actual flight path in the sim, if I could get a B24 on FlightSim.to, but sadly I can't find anything. Is there anyone who could offer a suggestion? Perhaps someone who has ported over a model from P3d or FSX at some time which isn't available publicly? It's only a thought, but any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a stream on YT by FilbertFlies where at the end of the stream he compares the two. Interesting, it seems there are pros and cons for each, but overall I think the MK version has the edge. The comarisons start at 2:41:00

You're welcome

Ah yes, sure, they look pretty poor to be fair.

Hey, I've removed the GSX profile and while it has cure dthe floating VDGS anomoly, it has not made any difference whatsoever to the sinking jetways or connection. Very odd to see you have removed the problem and I haven't???

Wow, that's great! I think I do have a LVFR GSX profile, sounds like that was the problem, which confuses me, but hey, what do I know, I'm not a dev. Nice find. I'll check it out. Cheers. EDIT: Hmm, while removing the profile has sorted out the VDGS anomoly, the jetways are still sinking right through the ground!

You'll have to get a move on, I'm just approaching TOD

Your welcome Darryl. I'm surprised yoy mention low resolution ground textures though, as that was one aspect of the scenery that I thought was great! Or are you talking about the grass photo imagery between the runways and taxiways?

Ah, that is a possibility. I've just departed from LEBL on my way to Orly. Thanks for the suggestion, seems odd to think that GSX profiles would affect the VDGS. However, once I've landed I'll check this out. Cheers.

In my video I point out, what looks like some VDGS displays floating around some of the gates, I thought it may be some issue at my end with textures not loading, but hey, I've just taken another look, and the anomoly is still present and at many gates. I think an email to MK is in hand.

Dunno. As I said, this was just an initial overview, rather than an in depth look at every aspect of the airport. Overall, I was very impressed with the texturing I witnessed. BTW, I've just taken a look at the image you posted on the actual airport... have you seen it's location? It's a place that you'd never see! That's likely the reason for the poor textures.

I was up until the early hours of this morning putting together an intiial overview of MK Sudios LEBL. Overall I feel it's a beautiful scenery, but comes with a few anomolies...

Here you go guys, an initial overview of MK Studios LEBL...

Hard to say Darryl, as I've just been flying around in the drone, just an initial overview. They've done a sterling job on the textures, they look amazing. Sadly, the jetway connections let things down a bit, as we know it seems to be an SDK thing, but the jetways themselves dig about a metre or so into the ground. I would have thought by now this kind of thing could be remedied, but hey ho, maybe not. BTW, beautiful night lighting.

For those interested, I'm just editing a 4K brief overview of the MKStudios release and hope to upload it later this evening.

Well, I've just taken a look at both airports on YouTube and in my opiniion MK Studios version has faaaar better texturing. That alone for me is a decider, but will nevertheless wait a little longer to hear feedback.

If you think chatGPT is amazing, check out AI imaging... MidJourney. That really is mind blowing stuff!

Hmm, I've not heard of these (shame on me 😆) do they both do the same job? are they compatible with FSLTL?
