Anyone getting bumpy runways at KCGS?

[Wise87]

Just purchased Washington Landmarks v2 and I'm getting the glowing buildings in MSFS 2024 on a nearly clean install. I do run DD KDCA.

Without our scenery you don't have such glowing buildings? Have you tested?

Anyone getting bumpy runways at KCGS?

Upgraded from FS2020 V1 which work fine, except for a few oddly colored buildings and rooftops main reason for upgrading was to support MSFS2024

MSFS2024 disappointed, not really working. streaming version one from FS2020 actually worked airports were usable.
Thought I would upgrade to version two thinking that would be better visuals and support for MSFS2024
Runways at KDCA are distorted (not flat surface) and have obstacles that toss plane back into air. Runway 19 totally unusable curved surface and like barriers hit when landing taxiway markers are elevated several feet above the ground. Just purchased this V2 for msfs2024 and airports not usable, scenery as far as buildings is ok

Using RTX4070Super tried every graphic setting all with the same result

Hi, we are in a thread about Washington Landmarks - do you have our KDCA scenery? Can you provide screenshots or a video? It is hard to discuss something you cannot see or replicate.

Have you already tried some basic stuff, like rebuilding scenery indexes, setting the scenery priority, and isolating potentially conflicting add-ons?

Yes this is in connection with the Washington Landmark scenery…. When V2 was installed the KDCA airport very close to all the POIs turned to broken runways and floating taxiway signs. When I disable Washington Landmarks V2 all is normal at the airport again. you do realize that KDCA is in the scenery area that is covered by the V2 package.
V1 of this add on had no issues and was working perfect in FS2020 (also when streamed into MSFS2024) V has the issues. Right now I’m not at the computer to provide pictures, but I will provide pictures when I get back home tomorrow.

Yes I'm pretty experienced was MS tester for 2020 and have tried many workarounds. If I revert to V1 all is ok on MSFS2024
Nothing fixes V2 except to remove and go back to V1

here you can see the ground items floating in air

Ok, but it's without our KDCA WASHINGTON NATIONAL MSFS scenery.
You'd like to use a default KDCA with Washington Landmarks MSFS - is it correct? If so, please check the attached fix.

I’m not exactly sure what your statement is.
Let me first start off by saying that I really like very much Washington landmarks V1 (MSFS20200) like it so much that I want to use it also in MSFS2024 and why I purchased V2.

I like to operate out of the KDCA airport because it is so very close to the attractive scenery that is provided in Washington landmarks V2, this airport is actually closest right there at the most well-known Washington scenery in the package.

The screen pics I provided are with your “Washington Landmarks V2” active on MSFS2024, with my aircraft using KDCA airport which is located in the heart of your scenery package literally runways so very close to all the landmarks in the package. As you can see with Washington landmarks version V2 active, it becomes impossible to use KDCA airpot because of the damaged airport textures.

The “Washington Lamdmarks V1 / MSFS2020 did not have this problem. When I enable V2 on MSFS2020 its works fine. When I install V2 on MSFS2024 it damages the KDCA airport scenery / runways making the airport not usable. If I switch back to V1 in MSFS2024 it works with KDCA scenery/runways.

So what I would like to do is fix Washington Lamdmarks V2 to work in MSFS2024 and be able to operate at KDCA (it’s working in MSFS20200)

For MSFS2024 is the problem
what is this zip file? How is it to be used?
Replace the Washington Landmarks V2 or combined with it?
I added it to the FS2024 community folder and MSFS2024 will not allow it to be enabled.
Right now I am using Washington Landmarks V1 in MSFS2024 it works, for now until a fix for V2 is available for MSFS2024

There was no statement - I was just asking if you use a default KDCA airport or our KDCA scenery (https://www.drzewiecki-design.net/prodKDCA_MSFS.htm).

I presume you use a default one with our Washington Landmarks scenery and such a combination generates an issue in MSFS 2024 indeed. That's why I asked you to test our fix, which makes the respective exclusion for the airport area.

Theoretically, you should just copy all files/folders from drzewieckidesign-washingtonlandmarks folder to the scenery folder and overwrite the files. However, it will not work if you have our scenery from the Marketplace.

I live in the DC metro area so flying over DC is a big kick for me. A couple of suggestions to make this product better, the models for RFK Stadium and Fedex Field are really bad, the stock Photogrammetry is far superior. RFK is in the process of being torn down and the default scenery reflects that. FedEx field has been so heavily modified with large segments of the upper bowl torn out and other sections covered. The default scenery is perfect. Can you delete those two objects from the package? The Destroyer USS Barry DD-933 which was a museum ship at the DC Naval Yard is no longer there. She was towed away and scrapped in 2016. She does not appear in the default scenery but she is included in your scenery package. Can she be removed from the scenery package as well.

Thank you

Hi, I need to check if it's easy to do without having any impact to the other parts of the scenery. If we can do something easily, we will do our best to find a time to do so.

Would screenshots of what I am talking about help?
