Oh, thanks.But they still look sparse, thinned - sort of like Alaska/tundra forests. But IL-2 was done in 2001? - I think we can do much better in 2006. ;)Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_744F.jpghttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

Hmmmmm FS9 seems better than IL-2.

If it does, I'll do without the better looking trees for now.Cheers,Mark :-)

that's most likely a photo of a forest used as a backdrop.Can't do that in FS.

it does. When I ran the Il-2 demo on my machine forests were flat pieces of greenish brown land (so no ground detail) with black sticks on them representing trees.
