Important ! in order for this mod update to work properly, go to the Microsoft Flight Simulator Roaming folder in C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator or C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\Local Cache (depending on yout MSFS version - steam or MS Store), then remove the file named Content.xml.
The new update is compatible with the WU6 update, but you need to download the switzerland MS/Asobo handcrafted objects first.
Optional: If you own the RED WING LHSV addon, use the second file (Lausanne - Red Wing LHSV compatible version).
Lausanne is the capital city and biggest town of the canton of Vaud in Romandy, Switzerland. A municipality, it is situated on the shores of Lake Léman (French: Le/Lac Léman). It faces the French town of Évian-les-Bains, with the Jura Mountains to its north-west. Lausanne is located 62 kilometres (38.5 miles) northeast of Geneva.
The municipality Lausanne has a population of about 140,000, making it the fourth largest city in Switzerland, with the entire agglomeration area having about 420,000 inhabitants (as of January 2019). The metropolitan area of Lausanne-Geneva (including Vevey-Montreux, Yverdon-les-Bains, and foreign parts) was over 1.2 million inhabitants in 2000.
Lausanne is a focus of international sport, hosting the International Olympic Committee (which has recognized the city as the "Olympic Capital" since 1994), the Court of Arbitration for Sport and some 55 international sport associations. It lies in a noted wine-growing region. The city has a 28-station metro system, making it the smallest city in the world to have a rapid transit system. Lausanne hosted the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.

Addon history:
v1.0: initial release
v1.1: Try to fix ugly vegetation
v1.2: Fix some texture flickering issues
v2.0: Fix a big issue with the LOD management system, due to the way Google Earth Decoder places and sizes the tiles. Now, there should not be any FPS issues, and framerate should be better and more consistent
v2.1: Add a fix for possible CTD issues ( https://flightsim.to/blog/creators-guide-fix-ctd-issues-on-your-scenery )
v2.2: Change LODs settings
v2.3: New changes on LODs settings
v2.4: reduced package size
v3.0:
- add WU6 compatibility
- better colorimetry
- add POIs
- fix procedural lightning issues on flat tiles (especially at dusk and dawn)
- add specific colliders to reduce CPU load
- bigger photogrammetry area
- fix some tile positioning
v3.1:
- fix EPFL POI
- add RED WING LHSV compatible version
v4.0:
- Better blending with ground
- Better elevation data
- Nearly all Google Earth ugly trees removed (not all of of them, but it is far better)
- less 3d vertices (so less GPU and CPU intensive): the tiles have been cleaned from the water, the woods, the forests and the parks
v4.1: Fix compatibility with SPINOZA LSGL "La Blécherette" airport
Known bugs and issues:
- because the photogrammetry data have been retrieved in winter, photogrammetry trees seem to be burnt (they do not have their leafs)
- somme traffic issues in the old town
Installation:
Remove old lausanne folder, if it exists. Download thalixte-lausanne.zip. Extract thalixte-lausanne folder into the Community folder.

Hello/Salut,
The CHUV building is missing on both 4.1 files I just downloaded (thalixte-lausanne_W0hMH and thalixte-lausanne-lhsvcompatibility_0sxFO), looks like both are actually the LSHV-Red Wing compatible build.
BTW, talking about the CHUV, in the previous version (CHUV was OK) it was not working with eddy2021's hospital helipads - the platforms were not showing - but I guess that is for his pack to be fixed.
Magnifique travail en tout cas, merci pour les vaudois 😊 !!
Vizipok
Thank you!

Super! Un grand merci pour cette version 4.1 compatible avec LSGL
Gberthe
Excellent work, THANK YOU. I studied in Lausanne and it now looks great without the ugly google trees.. However, could you please exclude the area around LSGL ? It completely RUIN the scenery of LSGL airport bought in the Market place...!
Thalixte author
Yes, i know, but without this package, it is difficult for me to know where i can make the updates to make my scenery compatble with it. Have you tried to change the order of the package ? It is now possible with the last SU update (in the dev menu of MSFS)

4.0 looks awesome but there needs to be some type of exclusion for SPINOZA LSGL... The airport is unusable with this scenery
Strassenbernd
Sieht fantastisch aus. Endlich sind die hässlichen Google Bäume nicht mehr vorhanden. Danke dafür
THEOLI4D
Wow, excellent blend of the data into the sim!!

Thank you very much for your work. However, this causes a conflict with "SPINOSA LSGL", regardless of the order of priorities.
Paaman
Jep, sadly. It is a very nice scenery so I disabled the spinosa LSGL. I hope for compatibility in the near future. ;)

Hello, there is a compatibility issue with the Red Wing LHSV File Version, there is a building on the hospital and some structures on the take off point. I don't know if it's from the U10 version
HiroshiDan
I just saw on the forum that the content.xml file no longer exists since the U10

Your Lausanne view looks very promissing but as a new user, I have no idea how and where to put your file after douwnloading it and upzziping it. Plus I do not find the file named Content.xml. Is it due to the fact that I placed the whole game on a separate removable hard disk ? Your help would be a treat!
satoshiba
make it SU7 compatible please
Thalixte author
Ah ? Why isn't it compatible ?

Hi😊
Should I delte the file Content.xml before or after installing your mod?
Sorry if Im not too cleaver with these matters, but I have made so many mistakes...😊
Thalixte author
Yes, it will reorder it correctly normally.

Great addon, excellent, thank you. I just wonder: is the cathedrale missing ? (behind the Palais Rumine ?)
Thalixte author
You have to download it via the content manager, as it is a part of the WU6 update...
