Important:
Before installing this newer version, delete all files from the previous version.
This scenery has two zip-files that both have to be downloaded for it to work.
How to install:
Step 1: Extract both zip-files into the same location
Step 2: Within the extracted folder (seb-manchester-1) there is one subfolder. Place this subfolder in the MSFS2020 community folder.
The subfolder has the following name:
seb-manchester-main
Discription:
This scenery covers the centre of Manchester with photogrammetry. It is part 1 out of 10 in a series that combined covers the Greater Manchester Area. All parts in this series work together & seperatly.

Love your 10 part Greater Manchester photogrammetry and have been using it now for quite some time.
I should like to consult your expertise for help in how I can either make appropriate revisions to the scenery or else to request the appropriate adjustments to ensure full compatibility with the scenery addon titles linked below!!

This is the best Manchester scenery I have used, it is excellent with good performance given the quality. Highly recommended!
However I do find that the neon green grass clashes a lot with the surrounding areas. I believe this is coming from GoogleMaps 3d areas. For this reason I am currently using only part 1 (manchester central) as it has the excellent buildings and not much of the grass.

I will see what I can do about the grass.

any known conflicts with any other addons? Its a stuttering mess for me, everything is inside community folder and pc is high spec, 3090 64gb ram 12900k

If you have MACCOs Manchester Airport installed, the combination is quite demanding. I presume you have more than just part 1 installed if you are experiencing stutter. In that case I would suggest either using fewer sceneries or using slower aircraft. I can personally, on a 10850K, run all 10 parts smoothly as long as I stick to below 200 KTS, using aircraft such as the Cessna 152, Supermarine Spitfire etc.

i downloaded all 10 and now the hole of manchester is pink and no building what am i doing wrong

Did you remember to download both zip-files. Each scenery has two. Also make sure to extract both zip-files together into the same location so they successfully merge.
