MSFS Paris Scenery Pack

A new, easy-to-install, and accurate replacement of the default Paris photoreal and 3D building data in MSFS created by developer Thalixte.

People seem to think that the Google Maps data is more accurate than the Bing data provided in Microsoft Flight Simulator (and many of our users will agree).  Developer Thalixte has generated the entire Paris, France city and surrounding areas based on this "more accurate" data and provided it in a format compatible with MSFS 2020.

This pack contains all of the regions covered including;

• Entire coverage of Paris
• Paris La Défense
• Paris St. Denis

This pack contains all of the released files for the Paris pack all in one easy-to-use package based on releases from Thalixte's Google Drive publications.

The developer additionally states;

This scenery has been extracted from Google Maps, hence all 3D credits go to Google. This scenery has been generated with the Google Earth Decoder tool.

Known Issues and Bugs

• The developer has stated there are some "holes" in the scenery mainly due to missing photogrammetry data
• It's a resource-intensive add-on - it will use a lot of RAM and may exhibit CTDs on machines that are unable to handle the size of the add-on.  It has been fully tested and acknowledged compatible on a machine with 32GB RAM but the developer states there is no guarantee it will work with your system.
• Let the scenery load fully before trying to use it (especially flying with large, resource intensive airliners).
• The developer recommends lowering the "Terrain" level of detail (they used 120 for this option).
• Flights above 1,000 ft will receive the best performance - flying lower could make the sim (and the hardware) struggle to keep up.

Installation

Copy all 5 of the directories ("thalixte-paris1", "thalixte-paris2", "thalixte-paris3", "thalixte-paris4" and "thalixte-paris5") inside the "Scenery" folder at the root of the archive into your MSFS community folder.
