the automation can only place the correct trees if their data includes the tree types.

The automation is not a panacea, it has to be supervised, corrected, taught. The data are available if not in a computer format at least in the expertise of geographers or even people with a little common sense or knowledge. I hope there are some in the alpha crowd.

I am entirely with Matthews here. Trees are a fundamental element of any landscape. I do not expect to see trees planted at the exact same spot than in real life of course but I expect an average realistic size and a proper choice of variety.

 The AI is a wonderful tool to recreate large landscapes with a minimum of human efforts but like I’ve said for the Bangkok scenery when the AI confuses a wall with a building, it still needs a lot of human inputs.

What I miss in this scenery are palm-trees on the shore. On the photos you can see the whole shoreline with palmtrees

I think I already posted this video before somewhere else but, look at the trees here they are huge and right by the seashore.

 

This is Sirena which has already been shown in MSFS screenshots.

It’s gotten quiet here pretty quick. I guess most of the people here have become alpha testers and are now hanging out in the MSFS Alpha forums.

and another group is absorbed in getting Prepar3d5 to work as advertised.

Kind regards, Michael

More like they are tired of the same old habitual complaining.  JMPO

My hype is long gone. I've only been waiting for the release date for months.

Same here. The incremental weekly updates, although highly appreciated, don’t have the same fuzzy feeling as the E3 trailers or the feature discovery series. 
 

I guess many of us non-alpha chaps will have to patiently resort to any major updates or announcements, whenever they come.

Take your time. Then we can have tree's the right size. Buildings that match locations. Wings that flex. Undulations on runways of airports that nobody has heard of. And bridges, 

And most of all, then we wont have to listen aymore to mSParks, MatthewS mp15 and Dominique_K. 😂 😉

At least we have something constructive to say, unlike your drivel.

I would say the only troll in that list is mSparks.

I only follow the updates and the forum sporadically. I'm just waiting for the release date to be published. I am not interested in anything else at the moment, because waiting and hyping makes you sick.

It was a joke. Plus I gave you an opportunity to get some 'likes'. Which I noticed didn't happen... 😔

Anyways...just be patient like the rest of us.

Can we stop for a moment and just appreciate that there are plausible shorelines in just about every water shot shown so far! It may not be perfectly colored yet, but rivers, lakes and oceans have believable transitions between land and water.

I wonder what those transitions look like in motion. If there's some sort of transparency effect to them as well, also how the waves will interact.
