IMPORTANT! Download thalixte-malmo.zip (which is the main file). Then, extract thalixte-malmo1, thalixte-malmo2 and thalixte-malmo3 folders into the Community folder. Both packages are mandatory for the scenery to display correctly.
The new update is compatible with the WU5 update, but you need to download the nordics MS/Asobo handcrafted objects first.
Malmö is the largest city in the Swedish county of Scania. It is the third-largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the sixth-largest city in Scandinavia, with a population of 316,588 (municipal total 338,230 in 2018). The Malmö Metropolitan Region is home to over 700,000 people, and the Öresund region, which includes Malmö as well as Copenhagen, is home to 4 million people.
Malmö was one of the earliest and most industrialised towns in Scandinavia, but it struggled to adapt to post-industrialism. Since the 2000 completion of the Öresund Bridge, Malmö has undergone a major transformation, producing new architectural developments, supporting new biotech and IT companies, and attracting students through Malmö University and other higher education facilities. Over time, Malmö's demographics have changed and by the turn of the 2020's almost half the municipal population had a foreign background. The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial center for the western part of Skåne County. It is also home to Malmö FF, the Swedish football club with the most national championships and the only Nordic club to have reached the European Cup final.
Malmö has a very mild climate for the latitude and normally remains above freezing in winter, with prolonged snow cover being rare.
The city is part of the transnational Öresund Region and, since 2000, has been linked by the Öresund Bridge across the Öresund to Copenhagen, Denmark. The bridge opened on 1 July 2000, and measures 8 kilometres (5 miles) (the whole link totalling 16 km), with pylons reaching 204.5 metres (670.9 feet) vertically. Apart from the Helsingborg-Helsingør ferry links further north, most ferry connections have been discontinued.

Everything looks great except the trees, any idea what might be wrong? They look too big and out of proportion. Thank you!

Yes. It is the photogrammetry data from Google. I cannot unfortunately fix it.

Hello, Would you mind having the download available as a regular .zip-file instead of in the 7Z-format? Or at least have that as an option...
Take care!

I used the 7z format because it has a better compression ratio. I am limited by the flightsim.to platform in terms of archive size. Just install 7-zip, it's free and it supports the most common compression formats.

I noticed that Turning Torso is partially burried into the ground. Is it possible to fix it? The city over all also appears to be several meters lower, you notice it when looking at the water level and the edge between photogrammetry and the default scenery.
I noticed that a lot of full photogrammetry sceneries leave a huge hole under the ground, as I understand you can't put photogrammetry the same way as Sim does it?
But I understand that such a large scale city is not easy to implement - it is still a great work.

Yes, i saw for the turning Torso. I already fixed it. I can update the scenery if you want. As of the scenery level, it is intended, in order to avoid flickering texture issues with the sea.

Sorry man, I get serious elevation issues along the docks/coast and highway coming off the bridge, plus it's unstable, items loading and dropping off. You might be better off just having each section of the city as a separate download.

Have you downloaded all the three files, and installed all of them, as mentionned in the installation section ?

haven't tried out yet after WU5 update, but will this conflict with the WU5?
3 years ago
Yes, the Torso tower. I will have to make an update for it. Do you want me to keep new Asobo model, or remove them when my scenery is installed ?

Edit: seems to eat up a lot of ram which caused my crash, so might have to tone down settings if encounter the same.
