This scenery has two zip-files that both have to be downloaded for it to work.
How to install:
Step 1: Extract both zip-files into the same location
Step 2: Within the extracted folder (seb-manchester-5) there is one subfolder. Place this subfolder in the MSFS2020 community folder.
The subfolder has the following name:
seb-manchester-airport

Great improvement for the Manchester area, only thing I would ask is would it be possible to put the 23R approach landmarks in, the B&Q building and the Pyramid please? They were in a previous mod which I replaced with your more up to date scenery. Thanks

The buildings are already included in my Stockport scenery

i need to ask a question i downloaded all 10 they work but one prob im having is im stuttering like crazy it freezes for about 2 or 3 seconds need to know why its so bad

Most likely the sceneries are straining your cpu too much. I would suggest trying to use fewer sceneries at once or flying in a slower aircraft. Also as mentioned in other comments the combination of my scenery with Macco Manchester Airport is quite demanding.

Lovely scenery I tried it along with the Stockport one. Unfortunately it's causing me fps drop and bad pauses/stuttering so I will have to remove it which is a shame as it looks great.

In combination with the Macco Airport it is indeed the most demanding of all the Manchester sceneries. Probably due to both of them loading in at once.
There are as I see it three possible solutions:

For some reason the airport itself isn't showing up, it still has the default Asobo one, although I think the surrounding area has changed. Strange also that the default EGCC doesn't show up in content manager either so I can uninstall it. (EGCB does).
I did previously have the Macco version installed but I've uninstalled that and also set it to false in the content manager but I just can't get your version of the airport to show up.

The scenery adds photogrammetry around the airport. It doesn't change the airport itself. If you don't have the Macco version installed then the default Asobo airport will show up. The airport on the screenshots is the Macco version of EGCC.
