Never had that problem before but also not flown up this way in a couple of months. Did a bit of investigating and disabled all other mods apart from this and the building textures showed up just fine. Enabled the rest of your sightseeing mods and the problem returned. I Went through them in different combos and it appears the conflict is with your Warrington POI mod.
Also a minor thing but one of the buildings at Hale is floating a few feet off the ground. Not noticeable unless you mash your face up against the scenery like I was doing in my testing so not a big deal.
Anyway, that aside your mods are great. Cheers!
Edit: also don't know why this comment is formatted with weird line breaks everywhere, but I'll blame this stupid site redesign.

As a Lancastrian, very grateful for you having made the NW of England probably the best-decorated part of the MSFS world.
I expect in a few years there'll be no procedural objects left in our neck of the woods.

Hi Skell, firstly I'd like to point out that I use a lot of your other scenery mods without any problems and they look great but for me the Cheshire one has a problem.
I fly in VR and when you are approaching Manchester from over the stockport area something is causing a huge frame drop, its there if you look straight ahead or right towards Manchester, if you look left the stuttering goes away. If I remove your Cheshire mod there isn't any stuttering.
Is there an easy way to remove individual buildings from the mod to try and find whaich one it is, its nothing new as it was there in the version before the latest one.

Hi Scotty
I've tried to reproduce this issue and I don't have the same problem. I have a fairly low spec system and cranked eveything up - Maccosim EGCC, fsltl traffic, Orbx UK Central, all my mods. I have the expected drop in FPS around EGCC, and usual FPS drop when panning quickly but nothing really jumps out at me. I'll keep experimenting and see if I can find something.
Anyone else have this issue ?

Hi Mick
I've probably said it before, but whilst I know some people are big fans, I really don't like the Google photogrammetry (close up melted buildings, horrible trees, hit on FPS, etc). That's why I do the hand crafted POIs as I'm happy to live with the autogen for most things. I've checked out the compatability with Mark's scenery and I guess there are going to be small discrepancies with all my POIs. I'm sorry if you want to run both - I will be doing more POIs in the area in the coming weeks.

Sorry - I'm losing track of what's in my different packages! I'll tidy things up in the next couple of days and re-upload so there's no duplication. Apologies again.

Absolutely love flying around where I live and seeing all these amazing places you've added. However I was wondering if there could be two places you could work on and add if you would like to? I'd love to see Beeston castle and Peckforton castle where I go riding my motorbike round. There's a little pub just down from Beeston castle called The Shady Oak where I stop for a drink and look up at the castle with a sharp hump bridge over a canal. Really picturesque place, that I'd love to fly around as well as ride around! I'd love to see the castles in there but if not I understand. Keep up the great work!

Love it round there! I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for a great addon. Could I suggest adding Tatton Hall and its attached buildings as it is on the Cheshire approach to EGCC Manchester and currently looks very poor. Thanks.

Would you believe I've started work on this ? Should be ready in a few days.

Hi. Finally got round to building requests. I've done a pretty rough and ready version of The Dream - it's now in my Lancs and Cumbria mod.

Brilliant Skell300, thanks very much for the Vulcan and the AVRO Museum at (former) BAe Woodford. A great spot to drop in with the XCUB 😉
I thought at first I needed Orbx GB installed also from the title , but no.
Great work as always. MSFS is amazing thanks to talented people like yourself.

Thank you so much for the great comments.
I realise I need to put an explanation on my sceneries about Orbx as a few people are confused. I've just not duplicated the POIs they've covered but otherwise my efforts are stand alone.
Btw If you not got the Orbx scenery I do recommend it.

Great work as always.
If you are still accepting additions then can I suggest a few buildings visible on the approach to Manchester Airport 23R?
1) Merseyway in the centre of Stockport.
2) Cheadle Royal Business Park, which is very poorly modelled at the moment
3) The big John Lewis and Sainsburys by the Cheadle Royal Business Park. Sainsburys has their name on the roof in bright orange.
Thanks very much.
