Washington Landmarks MSFS

[Martin_Starski]

Yes, please - I will add them to a to-do list for this project, however, I cannot say that it will be done in the short-term.

I’m not exactly sure what your statement is.

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 am using your Washington Landmarks Scenery V2 purchased from Simmarket web store and was installed with the included installer for FS2020 and FS2024
So what would the proper installation be to try out your patch?

I just wanted to know if there will be a update to this scenery to reflect President Trump and Vice President Vance in the Oval office of the White House, following the Inaugeration Ceremony next January, 2025? Pete

If there is, I will never buy another drzewiecki product again. Do not honor the criminal traitor in the White House please.

Please follow my instructions from the respective post.

Do not honor

No comment here. We are just a developer, who do his best to reproduce reality as it is.

Unable to install V2 into MSFS 2024. Simulator path could not be located.......
Just purchased thru Simmarket. Downloaded your installer. Windows 11 default MSFS 2024 location. Turned off firewall, Virus and windows kernel protection

Just purchased Landmarks v2 (FS2024), and many of the buildings have extreme glowing lights, as well as the bridge just before DCA. I see discussions about this, what is the fix?

Lights were normal prior to this installation (I had Landmarks v1).

PC / FS2024, no VR, 4k resolution. Purchased your software from orbx. FS2024 from MS game store.

Yes I would have to agree - do not give that P O S any oxygen, especially in a hobby I come to get away from that.

Simulator path could not be located.

It has to be something with the incorrect path in the file, from which our installer reads the path. Can you check what is mentioned in this file:

MS Store:
%localappdata%Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\UserCfg.opt
Steam:
%appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\UserCfg.opt

It turned out that another developer's path setting installer may corrupt UserCfg.opt files in MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. Please make sure that in this file “InstalledPackagesPath” entry points to the path where your Community folder is installed.

Other user shared similar problem and solution - please take a look here: viewtopic.php?p=29840#p29840

Last but not least, you can also try to:

1. Remove the patch from UserCfg.opt file, which means that it looks like this: InstalledPackagesPath ""
2. Run our installer, which should ask for the path to the main MSFS folder (incl. Community and Official)
3. Complete the installation
4. Revert the original path to the UserCfg.opt file

Lights were normal prior to this installation (I had Landmarks v1)

Can you please send us the screenshots showing a difference with and without our scenery? Because we are not able to replicate such a problem.

After I uninstalled your landmarks v2, I did a night flight, and the glowing buildings are still there, so it appears this is not an issue with your add on specifically, more an issue with this area (and a huge fps loss at night).
I hadn't done any night flights into DCA until I bought your scenery. It's been reported by others on several forums, who knows if it'll get fixed.
It's problems like these that make me want to go back to Prepar3d.

I checked prior to posting on the forum. The path never had the double quotes"".
I deleted the line completely and tried the install with no luck. I deleted the user config file completely and ran fs2024 to rebuild it. Still has the same error message.
I wonder if it is the registry. The installer does not ask for the path.
I also tried with 2020 and get the same

What is the installer version?
Can you share your UserCfg.opt file? (it can be attached here, just as a zip)
Please also attached the screenshot with an error message too.
