Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden, fifth-largest in the Nordic countries, and capital of the Västra Götaland County. It is situated by Kattegat, on the west coast of Sweden, and has a population of approximately 590,000 in the city proper and about 1.1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony, by royal charter in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years' War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. The original parent Volvo Group and the now separate Volvo Car Corporation are still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city. Other key companies are SKF and AstraZeneca.
Gothenburg is served by Göteborg Landvetter Airport 25 km (16 mi) southeast of the city center. The smaller Göteborg City Airport, 15 km (9.3 mi) from the city center, was closed to regular airline traffic in 2015.
The city hosts the Gothia Cup, the world's largest youth football tournament, and the Göteborg Basketball Festival, Europe's largest youth basketball tournament, alongside some of the largest annual events in Scandinavia. The Gothenburg Film Festival, held in January since 1979, is the leading Scandinavian film festival with over 155,000 visitors each year. In summer, a wide variety of music festivals are held in the city, including the popular Way Out West Festival.

For me the buildings flicker (pop out and back in... or maybe the textures go briefly black?) as I get closer to them -- anyone else having this issue? Anything I can do about it?

Hello. It is a known issue with DX12. In DX11, no flickering. Can you confirm ?

Very nice rendition of my hometown! Only one small thing, can you please remove the ships Viking Line and replace them with Stena Line or completely remove them since their departure route is from Stockholm and not Gothenburg

Hello! I can tell that "Eriksbergskranen" is split in half with a piece missing in the middle. Orange boat-builder crane. Exept for that, this is a great scenery! Will you add suburbs like around Hisingen (or in any other direction)

Sorry, i don't plan to add suburbs for the moment...

Nice work! This has a bit larger coverage than the one by vizipok, still can't see my house though but I'm probably better of not seeing its state of disrepair.

Ah, great to hear. Didn't see that there were already a Gothenburg scenery :) My future sceneries will contain more autogen trees, and will etter blend with the simulation, so i am pretty sure i will create already existing sceneries.
