Description of the issue:
When taking photographs of the Navajo Bridge during the “Inside Navajo Nation” world photography activity, the photographs of the bridge do not trigger the objective, making the activity impossible to complete.
ICAO, coordinates (DevMode > Debug > Display position), or specific location:
36°49’07.2"N 111°37’52.8"W
Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes. Yes.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you? (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)
Every time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue.
On the main menu, click World Photography.
Choose the “USA’s Most Spectacular Bridges” collection.
Choose the 7th activity, “Navajo Bridge”.
Load the activity in the default hot air balloon.
Let the Simulation run until you are close to the bridge.
Enter photography mode and take photos of the bridge. Near zoom, far zoom, include the hot air balloon, nothing triggers the completion of the activity.

Also can’t seem to trigger this as complete on Xbox version. Tried using default spawn location, setting myself right above the bridge, even going below the bridge etc and no matter what i try (angles, zoom etc) nothing will complete the activity
@VOODOO85 A couple of folks commented on my YouTube video linked above; you CAN get this by taking the photo from below the bridge with the camera completely zoomed out and pointed to the sky. My picture ended up being of the eastern wall of the canyon with the balloon overhead.
Thanks for this tip. Got it to work but didn’t think it was going to. Had to get my balloon down to around 3800ft before it would successfully acknowledge the balloon being over the bridge
My photo (see prev comment) was done on Xbox so it is possible but not easy. I’d certainly say that the devs need to look at the requirements and how strict the parameters are for this challenge
Yeah tried it exactly as you showed in your pic or as close as I could get and also the 3800ft elevation still nothing. So yeah requirements definitely need to get checked or clarified. For example, on another one the jet over desert even tho ocean in background as required and plane pointed north wouldn’t trigger unless photo actually taken pointed north and zoomed all the way out. Only thing I didn’t try is zooming out all way taking picture from above might try that next or just wait for FS update to fix.
Well finally did get it to finally confirm that bridge was photographed at least but still won’t accept there is balloon above bridge as u can see in photo and bridge only visible as straight line since I zoomed all the way out and must’ve took at least 25 shots from different angles below bridge just to get it to confirm there is bridge!
Not gonna lie, gonna need to delete a lot of pictures. But, I’m glad I found this post. I dropped to around 3800 feet, and in this picture, I zoomed out what I think is all the way. I just kept mouse wheeling down until it almost didn’t zoom out anymore, and took the pic.
So takeaways from this achievement:
-you can’t steer the balloon.
-Drop down real close to the ground (3800 is nice).
-position the camera under the bridge, get real close to the river, and zoom out. I think you need to have both stone walls along with both spans, and the balloon in between.
I’m just glad it worked.
This is just (once again) ridiculous… I wonder if they even test these challenges once before release. All these bugs in the challenges really put me off doing them…
I can’t get it done at the moment, even with your hints and screenshots.
Also I would not mark this issue solved.
The solved mark in that case does not indicate a solution but rather the post where comes the workaround, so that users don’t have to go through all posts to identify where the workaround is. The report stays open until a fix is implemented.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes - I’m unable to complete even when attempting to match suggested angles/shots from contributors above; there’s something definitely not right with this particular photo objective.
