The arrival of the 24h2 update of Windows 11 has meant several headaches for PC players. Some titles, especially from the Assassin’s Creed saga, stopped working properly, forced Microsoft to apply a blockade. Now those problems have been solved.
However, if you are one of those who enjoy classic games like GTA San Andreas, you could now find a curious problem if you try to pilot a particular plane.
The famous hydroavion Skimmer It has completely disappeared if you have Windows 11 24h2 installed. This error, which has baffled the community for years, It finally has an explanation.
The bug caught the attention of Silentthe developer known for creating unofficial patches that correct errors in classic games such as those of the GTA saga. During their evidence, Silent’s people discovered that the hydroavion not only did not appear, but by forcing its appearance by commands the game broke.
After a deeper analysis, They discovered that the error was in a function of the graphic engine related to the rendering of aircraft.
Specifically, a variable responsible for controlling the speed of propellers received an «extremely high» value due to an erroneous calculation of the altitude of the altitude of the altitude of the altitude Skimmer.
The original cause of the failure is How the game calculates the physical limits of vehicles. For the skimmer, that calculation used incorrect values.
Everything goes back to the configuration file vehicles.ide. The entry corresponding to the Skimmer It was shorter than that of other airplanes and, in addition, it did not include the necessary values of the size of the wheels, which prevented the game from showing it correctly on the map.

He Skimmerwhich originally appeared in Vice City, was carried to GTA San Andreas without the development team properly updating a line of code.
With the arrival of Windows 11 24h2, Microsoft changed aspects of the use of memory and internal functions of the system, which caused certain variables that were previously managed by the game engine now were affectedtriggering the failure.
Luckily, Silent’s team is already working on an unofficial patch that will allow the Skimmer reappear correctly, even if you are using Windows 11 24h2.
There is a manual solution. You just have to open the file vehicles.ide With a text editor such as the notes, look for the line that begins with 460, skimmerand replace it with this corrected version: 460, skimmer, skimmer, plane, SEAPLANE, SKIMMER, null, ignore, 5, 0, 0, -1, 0.7, 0.7, -1.
Once the file is saved, the hydroavion should reappear in the game without errors.
