Update 1.5
This update includes some terraforming to lessen ugly photogrammetry trees which are replaced with sim trees or preferably Bijan tree mod which is well worth a purchase and available at sim market. It has also been updated to work with Manchester city 3d models (link below)
Unfortunately they just updated today as well and have added the Trafford centre which may well clash with the PG version - previous version will work if you have it
PLEASE READ
This is the first in a series of phtogrammetry scenery packs with custom nightlighting desiigned to enhance OrbX GB Central package while remianing performance friendly.
Only use this if you have purchased OrbX GB central and otherwise use my extensive photogrammetry sceneries instead.
This pack contains enhancements to the Barton, Trafford park, Salford Quays, Trafford Park, Old Trafford, Manchester and Etihad complex including custom night lighting.
Because of certain limitations the scenery is not perfect and you may see some incomplete or broken buildings if you search for them but I believe it greatly improves the overall scenery with little performance impact.
Please view the before and after shots so you know waht to expect.
INSTALATION
If you have a previous version please delete original folders.
Please unzip the Man prefix folders and the lightmod folder to your MFS Community folder or use MFS add on linker..
Note
further packs will also contain the lightmod folder but it is only needed once.
If you love this and have more money than sense, buy me a coffee. Cheers!

Would be great if you could fix the issue with the GMEX area, got buildings in half. Much better performance though.

Yeah I know bud. Necessary evil unfortunately unless I spent days and weeks I haven't got editing outside of MFS. I could possibly tidy up a bit more in a revision but it is never going to be as complete as the original I'm afraid.
A lot depends on where Orbx custom buildings are placed.
These are really built with performance more in mind and to give a little more character the the OebX scenery.

Brilliant mate, I love your Manchester scenery but want to get the Orbx pack so this is perfect 😊

Yeah, hopefully these plug a gap for people who want to combine photogrammetry with OrbX GB central.
Should be more coming soon that juice up other areas.
Hope you enjoy them.

Hi buddy,
If you are happy with the old packs I would keep them.
The main benefit of these is that they have little impact on performance, don't have lots of folders cluttering your community folder and take up much less disk space and ultimately will include more areas.
Against that they are not as extensive, although still give good coverage, and may have some broken buildings here or there.
PS
The old scenery is not compatible with OrbX GB Central as you will get duplicate buildings and other artefacts.
Check the before and after screens of OrbX central and the PG enhanced versions.
