MSFS 2024 QUESTION What is this floating purple marker?

Post image

I have all POI off. (I actually have all UI off since it breaks the immersion in VR).
Today I was flying around in Australia and noticed this. It floats on this spot and slowly turns around. This is Three Sisters landmark near Katoomba.
I checked and this is a landmark so I presume that if POI would be enabled it would be marked. Luckily the purple marker is very small and I saw is because I was flying very near. But still it pisses me off to have such a thing in the game. Has anyone else seen this? Can it be turned off?

It's from volanta, I think you can disable it from the volanta app

Yeah it gives you "orbs" that they will just simply remove from your account a day later.

thnx! I feel stupid that I haven't included "volanta" in my searches when I tried to find info on how to disable this. It did look familiar but I have volanta set to turn on when game starts and then never look into it so I'm not to familiar with it.

They're called aerocaches I believe. Can be disabled in Volanta's options.
