Disclaimer: This is a huge photogrammetry package and might need higher PC specs to perform well!
It does not matter wheter you'd want to feel like Mozart or relive 'The Sound of Music', 'James Bond' and 'Knight and Day'. With this scenery package I got all of you covered.
This download features photogrammetry data of the inner city / old town of Salzburg, Austria.
Salzburg (literally "Salt Fortress") is the capital city of the State of Salzburg and fourth-largest city in Austria. In 2020, it had a population of 156,872.
Salzburg's historic centre is thus renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centres north of the Alps, with 27 churches. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The city has three universities and a large population of students. Tourists also visit Salzburg to tour the historic centre and the scenic Alpine surroundings. Salzburg was the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Because of its history, culture, and attractions, Salzburg has been labeled Austria's "most inspiring city."
Fly from LOWS (Salzburg International Airport).
Features
Color corrected photogrammetry data of the complete inner city of Salzburg.
Added night lighting at old town center, as google photogrammetry is pretty dark at night.
Added POIs for easier navigation. You can turn them off in your assistance settings.
Known Issues
Mediocre GPU performance above the city center.
Green color (foliage) still slighty to bright in comparison with Bing maps generic color.
I am currently working on fixing these issues.
How to install?
As per usual just unzip the download with WinRAR or a similar software and copy it into your Community-folder. If you struggle with this, please refer to one of the many great tutorials out there.
Enjoy your flight above the Austrian city of Salzburg!

Thank you! Great work :-)

This looks fabulous and performs pretty well for what it is.
Unfortunately, it's not fully compatible with Digital Design's LOWS. It looks like they model some of the city center, too, and the two sceneries fight over the water with the end result being some pretty bad flickering:

I can't fault the creator for that, but if any change could be made to avoid that it would make it even more awesome. :)
Will see what I can do, whenever I get my head around it!
Merry christmas my friend!

This is a fantastic rendition, I am in 4k and getting about 30fps which is not bad at all, its demanding, sure even on my PC but it looks awesome, well done....

Hallo! Vielen Dank, sieht top aus!! Wenn es nicht so aufwendig ist, könnten Sie bitte die Barmsteine in Hallein generieren? Vielen Dank.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your wonderful rendition of my hometown!
I have lived at many places throughout the world, but Salzburg always was, still is, and always will be where my heart belongs.
Just wish that you could enlarge the area of photogrammetry in order to get rid of those ugly Asobo high rise buildings!
All the best,
Werner

What i observed is that first start of msfs loading time is really long with Salzburg scenery.
Without it is quite faster.
I know big file - i hope you can improve this.
Lets wait for an update to the Earth2MSFS plugin, maybe then its easier to mitigate these problems.
In the meantime, I recommend using the Addon Linker available on this website. Its fantastic, please support its developer!

Just bought you some coffees, but my name didnt appear there for some reason. You've provided us with several beautiful cities/towns that I had the pleasure of visiting a few years ago, such as Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, and my personal favourite Hallstatt! Thank you for your efforts and the wonderful job. You deserve those coffees =)

32.267 files increases the loading time from MSFS quite a lot. Why does this City have so many files and Vienna only 1045 files. Maybe you can work on it because it take really more than 5 Minutes now to start the game with Salzburg in the community folder!
I was working on a Salzburg Landmark Pack, but it was trolling me quite a bit. I was not able to do it well, so I went for the photogrammetry way. Sorry if it affects your loading time.
I recommend using Addon Linker, to just load the scenery required for your planned flight: https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker
Please support its developer!
Thanks for the 5 stars!
