Hmm. Is there any plan to revisit this? I only fly in VR. I have scenery from many other developers that loads fine. Or is it possible to get a refund if there is no intent to look at VR?

We've never promoted it as VR-compatible. However, you can apply for a refund, but you need to do it in your shop directly.

Neither does anybody else but their scenery works in VR. Rather what I might suggest is including it the description “not compatible with VR”. At any rate, it’s a shame as you guys make some nice scenery. KEWR seems to work much better but it too is a little glitchy. Best of luck.

Well, it *works* in VR, although with some differencies. Which other "Landmarks" products did you test in VR? Is there a specific resolution that you use for VR?

I guess the only other landmarks would be FlyTampa’s LAS. I was The rest of my addons are airports only. You guys seem to make some really high quality addons and I hope you choose to consider VR for the future. It’s not an insignificant segment of the MSFS community and as I said there are other developers who seem to have cracked the ability to make their addons work across platforms.

Having some LOD issues here that may cause me to uninstall this completely. Can anything be done about this weird issue with white buildings downtown when at a distance? Is there a workaround, or have I misconfigured something? I've tried reinstalling several times and messed with priority in Package Reorder Tool, but still the downtown area has no texture at all when at a distance. You have to be within a few miles to see any of the downtown buildings as normal. This completely kills it for me when on approach into ORD.

Hi, can you confirm that you have the last version? From which store? Is it a PC version? With or without VR? Is it in 4k or 1080p? What are your sim settings?

We optimized LOD for a better performance in v1.3 indeed. Theoretically, we might look into the LOD issue related to medium LODs appearing too late, but it might be challenging to find a golden middle for everyone.

Hi Martin, sorry for the delay. This is the latest version from the Orbx Store (v1.3.0). This is PC, no VR, 1440p with a 150 render scale, TLOD and OLOD set to 100. I did notice that changing OLOD to 200 increases the distance that textures on the buildings are visible, but eventually they still revert to all white buildings. I'm noticing the same behavior with Seattle Landmarks as well. Night textures are also affected, so the buildings remain completely dark and then all the textures pop in suddenly. I don't notice this issue with any other city addons I have.

These LODs may need to be optimized again because Asobo changes these values occasionally during updates and may be too low. It's on a to-do list and we will take care of it as soon as time allows us to do so.
