http://blogs.technet.com/p-12c_pilot/archi...might-help.aspxSo I set it up to give FSX autogen around FS9 scale at max try it mess around with the settings yourself the defaault for them is 4500,3000 I think I read that FSX is going by a 10 to 1 scale over fs9TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=500TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=300http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/158356.jpgAs you can see by the photo it still gives you enough trees and buildings without overloading the system every thing else was maxed out but traffic for boats cars was 50%

This is probably the 3rd or 4th repost. :)Bob...

I know but they get buried and the doom and gloom goes on when there is some help.:)And thought I would just add my own settings which matches FS9 maxe out autogen.

Thanks. I'm off to add 6000 trees per terrain cell. :-lol

LOL you will have trees growing in the ocean. Now I will have to try upping it just to see.:-)

On a serious note I was wondering what number of trees would be needed to replicate a real forest. A lot more than 6000 per terrain cell (1 square KM??)?

I'm not sure but FSX my limit out on 4500 for the trees. I have only lowed the settings not upped them. Just save your cfg file and try different numbers. I know once you set them don't move your silders.

I think this sets the maximum so as you lower or raise the slider it adjusts the amount of autogen relative to the numbers you enter, at least that's what I'm gathering from his blog. I'm not sure if these set the current slider setting or are the max number though so if you have the slider at sparse and set these numbers does it set the sparse slider setting?Ian.
