Full Forest X images

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Keep in mind I only had mine on normal and tree cell=50

Here is KOWD  in same position as Rich.

 

Fall colours, autogen full, GEX and UT installed.

 

 

I notice that the trees are different mixture, more decidious (fuller crowns than conifers so that will fill it out more).  It appears there are similar placement of autogen but it may be the authors are replacing each node with a group of trees vs individual trees.  In any regard there are more coverage with this product.

Nice shot Bryan well done same angle too fsx version looks plunked in forest x looks like it has meaning and well placed did you use normal autogen and treecell=50 in your shot ?

[Boeing or not going 578]

Do you get better framerates from using SweetFX or worse than normal?

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Sweet does not affect my fps at all on or off the same

No brainer Al this is a game changer - I like Their light program (experience x) but this is really impressive as far as its purpose and fps

 

My sweet settings are:

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF

#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines.

#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.

#define USE_BLOOM 1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_HDR 0 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)

#define USE_DPX 1 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor.

#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 1 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)

#define USE_TONEMAP 1 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)

#define USE_VIBRANCE 1 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.

#define USE_VIGNETTE 0 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.

#define USE_DITHER 1 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)

Thanks FSX is lookin good now!!

[1st fltsimguy 466]

Nice shot Bryan well done same angle too fsx version looks plunked in forest x looks like it has meaning and well placed did you use normal autogen and treecell=50 in your shot ?

 

I used the full cell counts listed further back in tread....I think they are the default values.

[captdini 3]

Bryan pick a spot you want a shot of and I will do it for you

 

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks a lot for your informative post, looks good to buy. May I request a screenshot or two around Chennai, India, if its not a hassle? VOMM is the ICAO code.

 

Cheers,

 

Dinshaw.

CYPK -------This shot autogen normal

 

 

 

Norwood sure hold on

Yikes!  CYPK is surrounded by farmland - not forests. It looks nothing like the above; just check Google Maps.  However, perhaps that is due to a problem with your landclass and not this particular addon.

Hello to all.
Come here let my words of developer product Full Forest X.

The wonderful pictures of our friend already speak it.

But I can add what was the purpose of creating this addon.

Maybe you do not see much difference between the forests of their simulator and the addon Full Forest X, however the goal of the addon is to eliminate one substep autogen engine simulator.
Every time the engine autogen finds a polygon or a cell  vegetation map, it needs a substep named "TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL". This step is configured in FSX.CFG and function of this step is to divide the polygon or cell into several pieces according to the value of TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL.



The addon Full Forest X eliminates this step, leaving a little more space for the processor to work. You may notice a better flow when flying into areas with denser vegetation. Can also notice a small increase in FPS depending on your hardware.

Full Forest X when you have installed, you may have TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL = 20 and still will have forests with dense vegetation.

All this may vary depending on the hardware of each User but we are always ready to solve the doubts and problems.

thank you

Gibaba

Just got this product and I think it's great. 

 

Like already seen in pics it seems to add more variation to the forests, usually making them look more realistic. Also I noticed the performance to be better, I get about as much vegetation with Normal/Dense Autogen settings as I get with Extremely Dense without this addon, yet the performance doesn't really seem to be much if any worse from Normal/Dense settings without this addon and with way less vegetation. 

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Martin I don't have Canada landclass loaded I don't think but tree wise thats probably an fsx issue not sure, either way trees are my new friend lol, post India in a few minutes.

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Keep in mind I have no landclass outside of USA - here is VOMM enjoy

 

[Guest Mik75]

Wow! That last pic looks great! I'll have to buy it! ;-)

Count me in. Will report back.
