Jaksims 3 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi, Recently since a reinstall of my P3D setup i've been having a bit of bother with Gibraltar Pro.. The issue can be seen in this video clip: Version: 1.10, P3D V4.4 Worth mentioning that previously I had no issue with the scenery, and I don't know why it's doing this now. I've tried many things to troubleshoot, including disabling ORBX, searching for any clashing BGL files, reinstalling the product and so on, but with no luck. Any advice / suggestions? Cheers.

Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 13, 2019 Developer Share Posted January 13, 2019 Did you start the LXGBConfig Tool once after you change your P3D Version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaksims 3 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yes, and it made no difference unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaksims 3 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi, Attached is the screenshot of the scenery library. ORBX Global, OpenLC Europe & Vector are all at the bottom of the library. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 14, 2019 Developer Share Posted January 14, 2019 It looks like, that the base of the airport is not at the correct level anymore, so that the ground is flicker throw the ground of the scenery. Please check in the Scenery Library at the base end, if there is a active entry on the lowest level called "Default Terrain" pointing to the Location "Scenery\World" And check, if in the Folder <P3D>\Scenery\World\Scenery the file AFX_LXGB_ALT.bgl is exsiting and no other file with LXGB is there.

Jaksims 3 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Can confirm the default terrain entry is where it should be, and the AFX_LXGB_ALT file is there also, but still the issue continues. I've even tried re-installing P3D scenery - but still no fix. Baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaksims 3 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 So I've still had no luck with the scenery, and it continues to flicker like crazy. It seems that ground textures are popping through (from the scenery itself) I've reinstalled both P3D, and Gibraltar - yet the issue continues. Other scenery I have works fine (including sim wings malaga, balaeric Isles, Heathrow, etc.) Is there any further way of diagnosing the issue, I really like flying into Gibraltar but its frustrating when the scenery is constantly glitching out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted January 22, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 22, 2019 Are your setting in P3D as in the manual recommended? I dont see any flickering: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaksims 3 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes, the settings are as stated in the manual. However this is not an issue with P3D settings afaik. Looking through older forum posts, the previous version of Gibraltar Pro had a similar issue, caused by the file "LXGB_OBJ-GROUND.BGL" When I disabled the file, there is no more flickering, but obviously part of the scenery is missing. So it seems the default scenery isn't cutting through per-se - but more of an issue with layering within the bgls.. I appreciate i'm probably one of the only people with this issue - but I hope to find a fix soon PC specs - if it's relevant i5 4690k 16GB RAM GTX1080ti P3D is installed on a 1tb SSD (screenshot is with "LXGB_OBJ-GROUND.BGL" disabled) Please login to display this image.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 23, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yes but if the error is in the BGL's thousands of customers would have the issue would they now? I have seen these issues a lot with customers with non-standard config's btw. Some tweaks that make the sim faster also make it more 'sloppy' with layers.

Jaksims 3 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Interesting, I haven't adjusted my cfgs in anyway but maybe a 3rd party plugin has (pta possibly?) The only other way I found the flickering stopped was to lower mesh radius right down, but at that point the rock dissappears. Anyways, thanks for the help, I shall resolve this, even if it means doing a full reinstall of P3D.. Main thing I found odd is that only Gibraltar was affected, when I have a large number of other sceneries by the same developer, and other developers, which are fine.

Could indeed be the case. Meanwhile we recommend not to use any shader tweaks, as they cause more and more problems in combination with wrong setting, HDR and DL in P3D.

Gibratar is special, as the ground needs to build the complete area of the runway in 3D. Attached a test replacement for the ground, maybe that helps to seperate it better from the Terrain blow. Simple replace it in the Scenery folder, don't forget to backup the original first Test for Gibraltar Flicker Ground.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaksims 3 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ah, fair enough. So I did a fresh reinstall this evening - fresh p3d, fresh Gibraltar, default generated cfgs, etc. No luck. Tried the replacement BGL - and it appears to reduce the flickering slightly (less noticeable from inside the aircraft on t/o & landing, however still carries on if you view from external, particularly around Gate 5, and the end of RWY 09 odd.

Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 23, 2019 Developer Share Posted January 23, 2019 Then you maybe should check the driver of your graphiccard. I am out of ideas here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my system or settings, it's the scenery. Did you test the Groundfile above? Or is it the default one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaksims 3 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Ok, so an update for you guys. I've found what's causing it. After also having similar flickering at Milan Malpensa (and googling to see if I could find a solution) - a fellow forum user mentioned that the way chaseplane cameras work, it changes the "ClipMode" in the cameras.cfg, and this is in fact what is causing the texture glitches. After changing the CM to "ClipMode=Normal" - the abnormalities have ceased. So as far as i'm concerned, this is now solved. Thanks again for the support, and all the amazing scenery!
