Anyone Seen Disney World?

[andyjohnston.net 617]

It was in FSX, but I was in the area today in MSFS so I flew all around but couldn't find it.

Yes, it's there and all the other theme parks. It even has its own poi if I remember correctly. Start your search from Kissimmee and head north west. It's not far.

Yes, I saw all of my favourites, including Sea World.  Easy to navigate by the I4, the 192, and International drive.

They all look quite good.  You can easily see the big rides like Test Track and the Kraken etc.  The big lakes are easy to spot at Epcot and Sea World - even the Orca stadium.
 

Difficult to navigate by the other little lakes as there are so many! 😀  But I stayed around Lake Buena Vista in Orlando so I recognised that one.

 

Use a free VFR Map if you have difficulty.  Little Nav Map is excellent.  You have to Alt-tab in and out, but its no real problem.

 

There is a thread currently on MSFS Reddit where a guy has got a flight plan to take you on a 'Disney' circuit of all the parks, and even reinstated the old Disney airstrip so you don't start too far away.

Loving the sim and the community for this kind of thing! 👍

 

I know it sounds a bit silly, but while we can't fly, I am loving visiting some of my old holiday destinations.
Anna Maria Island of Sarasota, all of the main Canary Islands (all beautiful in the sim), Zell-Am-See in the Austrian Alps (which actually has an excellent payware airport now) - all good!
I can't wait to get back once this virus issue has levelled-out.  I took such freedom for granted looking back.  🙁

Well that's so odd.  I see a bunch of buildings and a big empty space.  I saw that before and wondered if that was where the park was supposed to be.  I don't even see a POI marker, had to go to the map to locate it.

Something must be wrong with your setup...

Must be a graphics settings thing.

Make sure you have photogrammetry enabled under data options.

Yes, it's on.  In fact it's greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.

Greyed out?  That might be some of the problem.  I will check my settings, but I don't think I have seen it greyed out before.

As far as I know, you should be able to turn it on and off at will in the settings.

Correct.

NYC looks great, I can see everything there.

Hello Andy.

If you have caching on, it might be worth resetting your cache.  I have seen this fix somewhere but I can't find it again now.  But apparently, caching can get corrupted, especially if you change the sizes, and it can block further loading of photogrammetry.  Just another bug for MS/Asosbo to sort out it seems.  This may be tied in with your greyed-out setting on this, as you should be able to adjust it.

I have both of my caches deleted for now (set to zero) as it has also been reported to cause stuttering in some cases in its current state. 👍
