Yip I have had that… It also annoys me that I keep having to turn on certain filters when I have done so a 100 plus times already!

You can install this if you want your POI back.

Once you visited a POI, it disappears

i don’t think so. i have visited plenty of POIs in France: there are are still there.

I’m starting to think these POI are seasonal. Like they appear for the most recent World Update. But once they’re too far back they disappear from the map.

Just like those activities mode which are seasonal.

for your information it was a real bug and it has been fixed within the sim update 5.

I had the POIs before the July 27th update. Now the markers do no load despite have then turned on in Assistance .

It has not been fixed, and in fact the problem is now worse than before.

My FS2020 is up to date and several POIs hava disapeared. The Reichtag, in Berlin (there is a banner in the place, but the building is not there), TV tower in Berlin, Coliseum in Rome, Sagrada Família Church in Barcelona, Prado Museum in Madrid and so on. Even after the last update the problem continues.

my FS2020 is also up to date: Reichtag and Berlin Telivision Tower are there as POIs and as buildings.

and as far as i know coliseum, sagrada familia and prado musueum have never been POIs in the out of the box FS2020 version. buildings are there but not listed as POIs yet. those European regions have not yet been part of any world updates.

your issue is maybe due to some mods overriding the official world updates.

Thank you CFHangar 18! I think I’ll have to uninstall and reinstall the game to fix the problem.

13

Does anyone knows if there is another way to fix it?

14

First you should ensure that no update is still pending in content manager. If the issue is still not fixed you should then try to uninstall all the add-ons you may have installed on top of FS2020.

15

There is no update still pending in content manager and no add-ons in Community folder.

I flew to Naples, Italy yesterday and all POI buildings are missing. I see the markers, but no buildings. Does Rome have any POI? I don’t see any in Rome in world map.

17

I flew to Rome and couldn’t see the Coliseum and the Vatican anymore. When I istalled the game the first time all these spots were there.

18

I have the same problem.

Check content manager for missing or update ready things.

Then go the market place, set filter to free or owned for a quicker find. Download your missing world updates
