A fun and reasonably well-detailed rendition of Nice, France developed by Thalixte for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 release.

Screenshot showing the Nice coastline within the simulator.The scenery has been developed using external data from Google Maps and hand-finished for extra detail and precision.

You can fly down the Promenade des Anglais after taking off from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) and see all of the buildings along the strip. In fact - fly down the coast further East and visit Monaco within the sim (although Monaco is not included with this pack).

The scenery includes much updated (and new) 3D models for pretty much all of the buildings in Nice along with photorealistic textures for both the buildings and the terrain below.

Add-on history

v2.0: overall optimization

This is a major update that optimizes the package, as it drastically reduces the number of texture files:

  • Fewer files in the package:
    before: 27197 files
    after: 2021 files
  • Reduced CPU footprint
  • Reduced loading time at startup
  • Less CPU load, so it can lead to better performance depending on the config
  • Better road traffic integration

v2.1

  • Fixed some texture flickering issues.

Installation

Extract the folders "nice", "nice2" and "allianzriviera" inside the "Scenery" folder into the MSFS Community folder.

Regarding placing the scenery. You need to extract the three files Nice, Nice2, and the Allianzrivera files, and place them separately into the CF.

I had the same issue and could not see any of the scenery until I did this.

Lovely job though once it is running excellent design.

How do you install this? I put the files in the Community folder. There seem to be three parts. I tried all of them in a single "Nice" folder and each in its own folder inside "Community". Neither worked, but the second did remove all the auto-generated buildings, so at least something was happening. Now I just have blobs from the photogrammetry.

I had the same issue as the comment above. The instructions are not clear. But after extracting the File after download. Place the three files Nice Nice2 and allianzriviera as separate files in the Comm Folder. Do not just place the extracted Nice File in the Comm folder as nothing will show within the sim. Happy simming in the South of France.

I have no Scenery folder in the Community folder.

Excellent work. Makes me feel that I am back on the Côte d'Azur instead of at home in England.
