Hey y'all, Papierfranz here,

we have reached v1.0, and it is a big step towards a more realistic Cologne, with a big part of the city added to the already existing buildings.

New in this version:
- An even bigger Part of the City Center added as Photogrammetry (please read the installation infos further down if you have a previous version installed)

Attention: The new area has some LODs but can still tank your game if you have a low spec PC. It will also increase your startup time of the game.

Things this pack includes:
- Cologne Main Station (Köln Hauptbahnhof)
- Cologne Triangle (Köln Triangel)
- RTL
- Lanxess Arena
- Hohenzollernbrücke
- RheinEnergieStadion
- MediaPark
- Colonius Fernsehturm (Broadcasting Tower)
- Kranhäuser + Schokoladenmuseum
- Südstadion
- Colonia-Haus (AXA)
- Katzenbuckelbrücke/Hafenbrücke/Harbor Bridge
- DITIB-Zentralmoschee + Deutsche Telekom (Central Mosque)
- Saturn am Hansaring
- Rheinbrücke Rodenkirchen (A4)
- Südbrücke
- Severinsbrücke
- Deutzer Brücke
- Zoobrücke
- Mülheimer Brücke
- much more

Right now the buildings and areas sadly don't support "real" Night-Mode and only some degree of LODs (as I just started learning about the tools). Big shout out to Flying Theston on YouTube for his guide how to implement buildings and whole parts of cities from Maps.
 

If you want to support: Just watch this video on YouTube (GERMAN Audio) ;)

Other Scenery made by me:
- Bonn | Mini-Pack
- Leverkusen | Mini-Pack
- Friedrichshafen (Bodensee) | Mini-Pack

Installation:
You have the choice between 2 versions of the city, they are all part of the download:
Version 1.0 (Huge part of the city as photogrammetry, big impact on performance)
Version 0.9 (Single buildings only (no photogrammetry of areas), low impact on performance)

Step 1:
If you have not installed a previous version you can skip this part and go to step 2. If you have installed any previous version please delete the following folders in your community folder first:
- cologne_c
- cologne_altstadt
- cologne_coloniahaus
- cologne_colonius
- cologne_katzebuckebruecke
- cologne_kranhaeuser
- cologne_muelheimerbruecke
- cologne_schael
- cologne_schokoladenmuseum
- cologne_severinsbruecke
- cologne_zentralmoschee
- cologne_zoobruecke
- arenakoeln
- cologne_deutzerbruecke
- cologne_saturn
- colognebahnhof
- colognemediapark
- colognertl
- hozoco
- towerdecologne
- cologne_rheinbrueckerodenkirchen
- cologne_suedbruecke
- cologne_suedstadion
- koelnstadioneffzeh

Step 2:
Choose the version of your liking (tip: start with version 1.0. If that one makes problems on your end try the troubleshot below or do step 1 and pick the other version) and insert the folders inside your community folder.
So, f.e. if you choose...
... version 1.0, you should insert 5 folders into your community folder.
... version 0.9, you should insert 21 folders into your community folder.

Step 3:
Done. Enjoy the flight.



Troubleshoot:
If the scenery is not showing in your game try opening your "content.xml" and add these lines of code:




Your Content.xml file should be here (at least mine is): C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator
