Even when disabled in the settings, the city markers still show.
They only disapear when all markers (POIs, Nameplates, etc.) are disabled with the overall comand “toggle visual assistance display” (default key combo ALT-V).

• If you only disable City Markers but not the Landmark & Airport ones, City Markers will still be displayed.
You need to disable all the 3 to don’t see the City Markers

N/A. There’s definitely a bug here, but I’m going to do this a different way. See below.

I don’t think that the turning on and off of markers is the culprit. I think that it’s the combination of the three “Markers” switches in the Flight Interface settings that determines the outcome. I have mapped them out into a truth table, as follows. (Note that a green circle means that the outcome is expected and everything is fine. A red circle indicates that the outcome is unexpected.)

Nope here for me. It seems that the city markers are linked to the landmark markers, whenever landmark markers are off, citymarkers are not there as well, whenever lanmark markers are on, city markers are as well visible, regardless of the citymarkers settings:
Okay, I redid all scenarios and came across this. For me, in 1.5.2.0, there is no longer any combination of switches that brings up city markers. (Also, I copied the wrong line in my last post. So ignore that one.)
I have a feeling that the citymarker Option doesn’t work at all and some bigger towns are now categorised as landmarks. Cause I remember that I used to see the markers over smaller rural towns in my region, which I don’t anymore.
Only for the bigger towns with around 5000 inhabitants and more do I see markers when landmarks are set to on.
I’m now almost convinced, that it is an categorization issue:
Over New York there are actually 2 New York markers, when landmarks and city markers are on, one written “New York” ( the landmark) and one written “NEW YORK” (city marker):
Although, for smaller cities, like “Singen” ( west of lake constance SW Germany), they seem to be categorized as landmarks, so they only dissapear when landmarks are off.
With landmarks “on” and city markers “off”:
I’m unsure if that is as intended, but it is definitely different than it used to be, as I always flew only with landmarks on and never saw the “Singen” mark over it. I only ever saw marks over POIs like castles and such.
