Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
I think I have seen a possible issue with the seattle landmarks through ORBX....I compared the pics from your website with in game pics of the same space needle and have this as a possible issue.....
I upgraded to Windows 11 and now the space needle has a Windows 11 flag on top of it in game....is it possible that MSFS2020 is using their model instead of your model of the space needle? This is all I could come up with as an option.
The rest of the objects are visible The Big Wheel (and it turns)....the cranes on the waterfront and they do not look like blobs like the original MSFS2020 ones do.
I hope this helps....
Also, in ORBX I uninstalled Seattle Landmarks and then ran MSFS2020 and all your objects were gone...then I reinstalled it through ORBX and all of them came back and were functioning, except the space needle elevators....I did install this both inside MSFS2020 and into just an ORBX library...same issue.
I also had used the manual cache to try to improve the frame rate of the sim and so I deleted the manual cache within msfs2020 and still no luck.
I know this is a minor issue, but it was cool seeing all the moving objects while flying around the city...very cool...now static elevators....

Hi.
Yes, it is possible. Please make sure that our product has the highest priority on the scenery list (it should be on the bottom).
Marcin, pomożesz?

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Ok, so let's confirm that our scenery has the highest priority. Has to be done manually:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Content.xml
The lower on the list, the higher the priority is.
Secondly do you have installed World Update USA?

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Here are three jpgs for the "content.xml" file showing Seattle Landmarks near the bottom but not the bottom...

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Can you theoretically move our entry to the bottom? What are this USA points of interest? Do you have active World Update USA? Are you able to check if elevators are working without it?

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
How would I move your entry...I tried to cut and paste, but , it is an xml file so no functions I tried worked...I will look into the USA World Update, but I had all those files installed prior to the elevators not working...so the only difference is the SU6 update...after that they stopped working for me....I also saw another interesting thing while flying around Seattle today in MSFS2020....the cruise ship that comes into Elliott Bay from Puget Sound and sits next to Harbor Island...came in ok but then when it got to its spot it spun around for about 3 minutes before becoming still at the point in your ad pics...just a bizarre behavior.
Might look into making it stop in the position where it belongs and not dance around the Sound.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
So here are the World Updates I have installed and they were there before the elevator issue:
World Update 1 - Japan
World Update 2 - USA
World Update 3 - United Kingdom & Ireland
World Update 4 - France, Belgium, Netherlands & Luxemburg
World Update 5 - Nordics
World Update 6 - Germany, Austria & Switzerland
All other scenery addons are through ORBX
Landmarks - Seattle (the scenery with trouble currently)
Cityscapes - Sydney
Airports KORS - Orcas Island
KTIW - Tacoma Narrows
Seafront - Sightseeing Vessels Core
Vessels - Channel islands
Again all these sceneries were installed and working prior to the issue with the elevators....the only change was when SU6 update happened about 1.5 weeks ago....prior to that no problems....I did notice that when SU6 updated it started to update just MSFS2020 Premium, then the server issue happened and it then showed it wanted to update Standard, Deluxe and Premium and when the servers came back it only updated Premium so maybe this is the issue...I am stumped.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Thanks for all the help on this issue....the solution was to rename or delete the "Content.xml" file and let MSFS2020 rebuild it....now the elevators are working fine.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Perfect - happy flying and enjoy elevators
Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Thank you for the nice scenery. It would be perfect if you could add the overpass road.

I'm not sure if we are able to do this easily, but I will take a note.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Hi.
That road was demolished long time ago. It was actually quite challenging to remove it from the default photogrammetry.
