REPRODUCTION STEPS

Load up at 34.118333, -118.300333 and see that the handcrafted model is missing, there’s only Photogrammetry.

Disabling City Update 13 does not bring it back.
I double checked my library, all US updates and POI packages are enabled.

And here it what it should look like, from the City Update 13 trailer

City Update 13 California looks great in the trailer, but in the game it does not. There is no custom 3D object of Griffith Observatory which can be seen in the trailer - there is just photogrammetry.

I have made sure it is streamed
Also checked with downloaded
Set all details to HIGH
I cleaned my Community folder

Same issue here. That was the first issue I noticed. Idk how this happens.

I cleared scenery indexes
I deleted rolling cache
Removed SamScene3D LA

Also the ATT building next to US Bank is still broken with the default tower sticking through the photogrammetry. How can they not fix it while upgrading LA…

Looks terrible overall.

RoooDog · January 28, 2026, 8:24pm

I can confirm this is also occurring as well as a few other POIs missing to include

Hollywood sign
Sofi Stadium and surrounding area
DTLA highrises

JFFoxtrot · January 28, 2026, 8:28pm

It wasn’t there before CU13 either:

DementedCorn327 · January 28, 2026, 8:59pm

Can replicate in FS2024:

Looks good in FS2020:

CommonBloom31 · January 28, 2026, 10:05pm

Yes, in 2020 it is OK

Fiideell · January 29, 2026, 1:00am

Confirm. In FS24 only PG.

lwallace79 · January 29, 2026, 1:18am

Same here

Tuskin38 · January 29, 2026, 6:35am

I don’t believe the Hollywood sign was ever hand crafted.

Hookalaya911 · January 29, 2026, 7:10am

So they did all this but nobody cared to actually check it in sim. Not happy Jan.!

PanikUmschlag1 · January 29, 2026, 9:28am

Same here in msfs24, pc

If you have data installed locally as I do, after installing the new update, I went through my full library list and noticed there were two large updates to POI objects in my downloaded and installed data. Make sure to look for them and update accordingly.

So does this mean the trailers are being made in 2020, and not 2024?

kinetic2080 · January 29, 2026, 5:11pm

When I try to install it (instead of streaming) in the info “Size to install” it says 341,52 kb! That seems very low for 18 photogr. cities and towns. Does it mean part is still streamed or is there an issue with the download of city upadte 13?

Steam version of MS2024. I’m downloading from Norway.

hairstreak62 · January 29, 2026, 6:26pm

Thanks I’ll give that a try. Did it bring back the POI’s back for you?

Fiideell · January 29, 2026, 7:19pm

yes, same here, just few kbs.
