I'm getting a weird flickering in VR, especially at night, and it only happens in San Diego. When I take the add-on out of the community folder, the flickering goes away. I can't figure out what's causing it, other than it's related to this add on. I haven't seen it in the other cities, but I fly in San Diego the most. Makes it unplayable.

I only bought Vol. 3 for San Diego, and I am very disappointed. Very few SD landmarks that really make the downtown area what it is. No Navy ships and carriers added except for a VERY sparse USS Midway that looks so unrealistic it takes you out of the sim. No Star of India?! No Hotel Del Coronado rework?! Not even a rework of the El Cortez sign?! Padres stadium looks cheesy. I would honestly say they made San Diego look LESS impressive than the original game!

All three of these sets are great, except in No. 2. SamScene3D needs to go back and correct Atlanta to match updated Bing Maps. Fulton County Stadium is no loner the Atlanta Braves home field, they have a new ballpark named Truist Field near Dobbins AFB. Fulton County Stadium is still there, but it is now a football field for Georgia State University. If you turn off Photogrammetry in MSFS and take off east and bear slightly SE, you'll see the new stadium. You can also find in in either Bing or Google Maps and Earth.
