October 22, 200916 yr Hello all, Can someone tell me what to change to get FS to draw trees at a more distant point?Here is my terrain settings in fs9.cfgTEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400[TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=67.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=20TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=3TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=4TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=240I can see trees appearing as I approach an airport. I'd like them to appear before I get too close.I am currently using TreeGen V 1.0 By Feng Zhu.I was using Howard's treeswap, and thought it might change if I used treegen.The tree's are still being drawn as I get too close.I usually keep my scenery complexity setting on dense, as well as the scenery autogen density.
October 22, 200916 yr your settings are fine. close and far are very relative. A screen shot is worth a 1000 words, as we can then tell you if that's whats expected or not. - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
October 23, 200916 yr Author Thanks for responding. I'll try and get a couple of screen shots and post them. I was just trying to duplicate and it wasn't doing it. I think it is probably normal given my particular setup. I changed these two settings. TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.500000. I've read different things about these settings. I had them set like this before but figured I'd try 4. After reading the info at this site, http://www.scenerysolutions.com/doc/performanceTuning.pdf I figured I go back to 9.5 and 4.5. I really don't see allot of noticeable difference. I changed this setting to 3 instead of 240 after reading the info posted at the site. TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=3 There seems to be different recommendations regarding these settings around. I suppose the setup one has determines which is best.I was approx 10 miles from the airport, landing, when I saw the trees appearing. I was hoping to change a setting to make them appear a little sooner..
October 23, 200916 yr 10 miles sounds about right for when trees start popping up - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
