When using SS3Dv1, regardless of priority, my US Bank tower goes missing (all other buildings are intact) Has anyone else encountered this?  

Using the latest Vol 1 - v1.5.0?

This is with both 'Los Angeles & Sofi disabled' from within SS3D Vol 1 and PG on as well as CU 13 installed...

I am. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and even run it in a clean comm folder with no other addons enabled. Baffled as to what could cause it since it shows in all screenshots. 

This with 'CU 13 uninstalled' and SS3D Vol-1 installed (all SS3D content enabled)...

From SS3D developer:

"Since the city update was released few days ago, please allow us some time to create the compatibility update, thank you for your patience."

 

 

Made the recommended adjustments, not seeing major issues/conflicts with SamScene3D and iniBuilds KLAX.

Just flying around San Diego this morning and noticed that a lot of the water masking, especially in the harbours is a bit haphazard tp say the least.  I think I noticed this in the San Fransisco as well.

Overall though it's a great improvement to give credit where it's due and I guess that some of the freeware addon designers will provide us with some water fixes before long.

I don't know if it's what you have in mind, FreakyD has updated SD navy and the Nuclear plant. SD Water has not (yet) been updated.

Yeah thanks Vincent. I do have some of his stuff.  I will check out your other links.  How are your California airports since the update?  I've not noticed any issues with the one or two I've visited near San Diego.

Same here, didn't have much time to check all (too many) but didn't notice anything weird and didn't receive any warning (yet). Would love to have less block of trees but nothing new here.

Path goes right over Yosemite Valley. Yosemitie Valley is one of the Asobo "cities" in this city update.  

I had to fight through the clouds, Yosemite Valley is about 11,000 feet high.

Like you, I prefer the SSD sceneries over the photogrammetry, even with the improvements. Moving the SSD cities/city packs lower in the scenery order does clear up many of the duplicates etc... Similar to the Vegas issue. SSD SF looks pretty clean with no duplicate bay bridge etc 

@Papacoach I have SamScene's San Francisco and I am getting a duplicate Bay Bridge. Like you, I also prefer the SamScene scenery over the photogrammetry. 

How do I move the SamScene San Francisco scenery so that it gets priority over the MSFS 2024 California update and I don't get a duplicate Bay Bridge (see screen cap below)??

Confused, shouldn't whatever is in the community (and/or symbolic link) folder always be on top of the MSFS 2024 official in terms of rendering PG or otherwise?  So if one is using SamScene cities that should still take render precedence? 

Where does the California update end up (folder wise)?

@SayAgain I'd like to know too if items in the Community folder ALWAYS(?) have priority and write over the default scenery or updates in MSFS 2024. Did you get a reply to your question?

No reply, but experiment per my video above where I moved SamScene3D to the bottom and it removed some of the issues like duplicate bridges.  Check my video (no monetized and I make zero income from it, any Ads you see have absolutely nothing to do with me, all YouTube) if you want to see where to put it using the MSFS Ordering Tool (hoping MS AddOn Linker gets update by dev to support SU4 new folders).

EDIT: video covers the LA area, but the ordering changes I made also address most of CA including SF/Bay Area.
