Washington Landmarks MSFS

[Platenigh43]

I seem to be getting building overlap (see screenshot). I noticed it at the White House - a wall blocking parts of the building where I don't think there should be a wall (see screenshot). I was going to move the scenery up the chain in the content.xml file, but I can't find it in there. I also purchased Reagan National airport, and can't find that in the content.xml file either (I'm used to moving scenery up the chain in that file in order to resolve conflicts). Both were purchased via the MSFS Marketplace/Steam during the Drzewiecki Design sale (couldn't resist). This anomaly prevents me from entering the oval office and seeing the president. While sorting out the visual clutter in my sim, I’ve also been doing some redecorating in my real space—added some minimalist wallpaper to keep my setup clean and distraction-free.

I also saw another anomaly at the Washington Monument when I first ran the sim after scenery install (didn't get a screenshot of that one). The monument was covered in what appeared to be building windows. Weird.

Anyway, any suggections or fixes would be appreciated. Maybe the president just didn't want to see me.

Thanks.

Hey, welcome! What you’re describing sounds like a classic scenery conflict issue in MSFS. When you purchase add-ons from the Marketplace or Steam, they often don’t show up in your content.xml the same way manual installs do—Microsoft handles those in a hidden, package-based system, which is why you can’t find them there.

For building overlaps, the usual method of moving entries in content.xml won’t work for Marketplace/Steam content. Instead, you have a few options:

Check the Community folder – If you’ve manually installed anything there, conflicts can occur. Try temporarily moving all other add-ons out of the folder and see if the problem persists.

Scenery priorities – Some add-ons let you adjust scenery priorities via the in-sim “Manage Packages” settings. Make sure your Reagan National or White House add-ons are up to date and correctly installed.

Reinstall / repair – Sometimes just repairing or reinstalling the Marketplace content resolves weird overlaps.

Report the issue – If it persists, it could be a bug in the add-on itself, especially if you’re seeing walls or textures in the wrong places. Drzewiecki Design has a support channel for that.

Hopefully one of these fixes will let you enter the Oval Office without any wall in the way!

I have a quick question regarding the Washington Landmarks v2 for MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. I purchased both the original Washington Landmarks and the Washington Reagan National Airport scenery for MSFS2020 from the marketplace shortly after MSFS2020 was released because it originally did not have Washington DC in it. I love the scenery but I was wondering if I had previously purchased the original version, do I need to upgrade to version 2 or will it be upgraded for me as a previous customer of the old scenery for MSFS? What are the changes from the old scenery that I already purchased and how has it changed? I was also wondering if the Washington DC Landmarks version 2 affects your Washington Reagan National Airport scenery or if you will be updating it as well. Could you please let me know? Thank you.

Thank you for your reply Martin_Starski. When I checked yesterday, my version from the Marketplace appears to be 1.3 for the Washington DC Landmark scenery. Do I need to repurchase it to get the Washington Landmarks version 2 or is there an option to upgrade it like some of the scenery packages that I purchased have had? If I want to upgrade to the Washington Landmarks version 2 and had previously purchased the original on the Marketplace what do I need to do?
