Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Hey there,
I just bought this pack, as I live in Seattle (and work at Microsoft, but sadly not on flight simulator haha). I was wondering if the football stadium will be updated in the future. It currently says the old name (Centurylink field) but has recently been renamed Lumen field. I also think the texture on Smith Tower is a little inaccurate, for such an iconic building. Thanks, and looking forward to updates in the future! I also love that you included Bellevue, but one thing that was really sad to see was the default (Bing maps) rendering of the Cinemark at lincoln square in bellevue looks way better without this pack installed. The whole bellevue shopping area looked better with the defaults than with this add-on, so I hope that might get a coat of paint in the future too!

One other note about bellevue is many of the skyscrapers don't have logos on them, like the Microsoft buildings or Expedia. That'd be great to see!

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Giffdev - thanks for all your comments. They are noted and will be taken into consideration when the new update will be coming.
Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
After install the updated version 1.1, the "building deforming" effect improved a lot, but still you can see some building got deformed in a distance. But this time, when you zoom in the view, the deformed build turns back to normal. Please look into this and get it fixed. Thanks.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
These are LODs working. It is made to save performance. The distance will depend on your settings - it will look the best at the Ultra settings.
Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Ultra setting on which parameter? Please be specific. Thanks.

You may search here for specifics (also some nice hints are there too):

etc.
All I know is that switching all options between f/e "high" and "ultra" has an influence on LOD display.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Stan,
Are you planning any conversion of KSEA and KORD airport scenery's in to MSFS anytime soon. Both of these could use some serious attention.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Hi.
We do, but to convert all our products to MSFS we will probably need about 1,5-2 years' time. This is not a copy/paste procedure if we want to do it nicely - and we do.

Nice, I'm about to start flight training (!) at kbfi, so I hope to have a detailed version of it in the simulator sometimeDD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Saturday 20 Mar 2021, 14:45 Hi.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Well, if you share with us some up-to-date high-resolution pictures then we will definitely be able to add some nice details to the airport.
(and obviously you will be mentioned in the credits and get the product for free)

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Maybe you can give me some advice on what you would need to work from. just pictures in general from all around the airport and surrounding area? I can surely do that once I start flight training in the coming weeksDD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Wednesday 24 Mar 2021, 12:42 Well, if you share with us some up-to-date high-resolution pictures then we will definitely be able to add some nice details to the airport.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
I'd say that pictures of missing things and details rather than general shots. Something that can only be seen while being at the airport.

Re: Seattle Landmarks MSFS
Great product - outstanding work. One request - if possible, can you add Avalara Hawk Tower? It's been there for 3 years, and that space next to King Street Station is looking a little bare.

If you can / are willing to add it, I have pictures I can link to / provide to help make that happen. I have a vested interest in the building being there, since it's where I work.
Either way, excellent product and I really enjoy the scenery you put together.
