This mod 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-3) there is one subfolder. Place this subfolder in the MSFS2020 community folder.
The subfolder has the following name:
seb-manchester-east
Discription:
With an area of approx. 50km^2 this mod covers the eastern part of Manchester with photogrammetry. This mod is the second of several parts that will cover most of the Greater Manchester Area. All parts in this series will work separately.
The scenery has been optimized with the use of lily texture packer, to greatly reduce file loading times.
The detail level is LOD 17-19.
I would like to thank Thalixte for his Google Earth Optimization Tools, without which this mod would not have been possible. Link to his addon below:

Recommended specs:
8GB VRAM, 32GB RAM & approx. an AMD Ryzen 5 5600/Intel i5-8600K
How does this differ from Manchester 3 part scenery from @Mucka1? Is the coverage the same etc?

There are several important differences. Firstly this scenery covers a much larger area. Greater Manchester Part 1 is already almost equivalent to Mucka1's area. Secondly, this scenery is optimised with lily texture packer unlike Mucka1's. Thus it can cover four times the area, while loading faster. If one installs too many addons like Mucka1's, with 40K+ files for every 4-8GB, startup loading times can quickly increase to 15-20min.
