As several have mentioned, I really enjoy my MFG Crosswinds. Extremely well made, versatile and very configurable with different pedal options.

Just want to thank each and everyone of you who felt kind enough to jump in and offer assistance. Thank you, one and all. Blue skies..Terry

SOLVED: Ok, good simmers, found the culprit but I don't understand because I have NOT deleted any key U.S. scenery. A few moments ago I noticed that the 40th Anniversary POIs wasn't installed. I've been to the Content Manager for the past three days, didn't notice this discrepancy. I did notice the WU 2 update, but at least it was installed. I installed the 40th Ann. POI and wahh lahh, the ICAO, the complete grounds AND a very good visual depiction of the WH. SMH, was this just a "Senior Moment". I don't think so, but at least I'm back up enjoying the People's House and departing the South Lawn. 😄

Yes, I did and there was WU 2 that needed an update. All U.S. updates c/w. Thank you for asking.. OK, update: The plot thickens: I downloaded https://flightsim.to/file/42833/white-house-south-lawn-helipad-washington-dc and the response gets more weird. The ICAO KWHH is now recognized, the three markers for the helipad on the South Lawn are still there, there's a new circular drive and fencing added around the South Lawn, but still NO WH structure. Is there a scenery library/object missing? What gives??🤪

The odd fact is the "helipad" with the three markers do show up. But the ICAO ? symbol KWHH is not recognized by the program. Could someone confirm that MSFS does, in fact, recognize it. I don't think I'm dreaming that I read that this is the symbol for this "heliport". Even the POI "flag" for the WH does NOT show, but does for all of the other landmarks in the Vicinity as well as the landmarks are very well depicted. This definitely is a puzzle. Thank you for checking in and offering suggestions. Hopefully perhaps someone may have seen this before and drops in and suggests a clue. I'll try a third party addon and see if that rendition is displayed.

Not sure if I can explain this properly, but I've been using AAOs since the FSX days. In MSFS, if you change from a twin Prop aircraft that incorporates throttle, prop, mixture to say a twin jet that incorporates throttle, speed brake, NWS, one doesn't have to escape out of the flight and go to Control Options and manually select a different profile. One sets up the profile once in AAO and when AAO detects a change of aircraft, the profile is automatically loaded. I've used it to modify the Bravo trim wheel. Default one has to spin it many, many times to get a response in some planes, whereas others a couple of spins is all that's needed... by writing a script and assigning to individual planes, you only have to spin the Bravo wheel as far as you wish because you modified the script for each aircraft. One aircraft, one turn might = 10 turns in aircraft, whereas in another script one turn might = only four. It's a very versatile piece of software. AND, customer support at Lorby's is first rate. Very quick to answer and clarify most issues one might have. Try out the demo... it'll be worth your time.

Greg, I tried both with and without PG on. Strangely, all of the other "monuments" and POIs are displayed most realistically. I have all of the US updates and the US Cities updates. Yes, data is on, but cache is not. I do occasionally get the "bandwidth" notice, but all of the other POIs are displayed in exceptional detail. There's no building, no drawing on the ground.. Nada.. The South Lawn is displayed WITH the landing markers for the helicopter. I understand that the heliport at the WH is KWHH. My installation does not recognize this symbol. Thank you for reaching out.. I think I plowed that ground of Updates/PG already, though.😔

Thank you for the suggestions, but I have disabled all scenery addons, and empty CF, but regarding the helipad, yes, the three markers are there and I can use them, but the physical structure of the WH is not there. Looks like a two dimension place holder. I thought I'd check with a Discovery flight, but realize I have many several Discovery flights of US landmarks, there is NO Washington, DC discovery flight. Strange indeed.

Quick question: Of all the Discovery flights, SFO, New York, etc, I don't see any discovery flight for Washington DC. I did notice that World Update II had an update that I hadn't d/l. I d/l the 2.4Gb pkg and the Mall and corresponding POIs look great...BUT.. no White House and no POI marker either. I also restored the cache in Nvidia, no change. Bizarre.😵

I'll have to check. I usually don't install them to conserve disc space. The strange point, is there was some sort of structure where the WH is supposed to be. Now there's empty space. Just the reflecting pool, pads for the helicopter on South Lawn, and even the EOB across the street from the WH displays as a melted Picasso painting.

Thank you for the tip, but I have been using MSFS with disable cache for months now. However, even though I deleted it in MSFS, I just deleted the cache data in the Nvidia folder. Not sure if I messed things up with that or not. I can try to restore and see.

yes, City Update IX was freely available in the MP. I have all of the other POIs, but not the WH. In Content Mgr, I do not have any CUs uninstalled. I'm puzzled..

Yes, I did and it seems before the update, I had some representation of the structure, but now there's nada. I have the pads for the gear of the helicopter on the South Lawn, but no structure. ☹️

No, not the Gerard Butler movie, but the actual White House in MSFS. Could someone help an old codger and help him find the White House. Now, I worked in Washington, DC fifty years ago, and I remember one could see the Washington Monument from the White House. The Monument is in the sim, the Capital, the Lincoln Memorial , the Smithsonian, the reflecting pool, the South Lawn are also, but NO White House. I downloaded the latest City Update (IX), but not even a PG rendering. Also strange, the helipad, KWHH isn't recognized in MSFS. The POI isn't present either. What did I do? I've disabled all scenery addons in CF. Any suggestions appreciated. TIA.. Terry

Matt, I buy Steam gift cards at Walmart, Game Stop, CVS in denominations of $25, $50, $100. Just Remember, Steam gift cards are NOT Xbox gift cards. Two different things. In fact, you can buy XBox gift cards in grocery stores, not so much Steam cards. If the gamer has a Steam account, and bought MSFS through Steam, then his purchases through the Marketplace will automatically be coordinated through the Steam servers. The servers will tap the gamer's "wallet" for the purchase in the Marketplace. Hope this isn't confusing.
