Question from person who does not have HD or Terra Flora trees, but would like to have better trees - Is it worth to buy new ORBX addon ?

Will i see significant visual improvement ?

If I had to choose one, I like HD trees myself. But it’s kind of like the old soft clouds or cloud art argument. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn’t say one is hands down better than the other.

Yes! But wait for their 50%off sales.

I bought upgrade this morning. I'm going to wait for any updates before I install.

My philosophy is if I have an addon that does a particular job, I don't buy another addon that does the same job. Unless the one I have is outdated and the new one brings a lot more to the table above and beyond the one I already have. If I have an addon that does X,Y and Z and another addon becomes available that does X,Y,Z and A you have to ask yourself is A on its own worth the cost of that addon.😁

I run both HD trees and Terra v2, and I could see a marked difference in my sim, for the positive. For me it was well worth the eventual 7 dollars.

Most of us just paid $200 for Prepar3d V5 and many of us already paid Orbx for HD trees and now they want us to pay another time for trees that are so similar to their previous trees that they actually have to explain the differences to us instead of just showing screenshots.

The flight sim business desperately needs some competition. For $200, decent looking trees should already be in there from the beginning. This is really getting out of hand. We shouldn't accept this.

Well, you accept or not, by your wallet or purse opening, or staying closed.:)

Actually I thought it would do more to a realistic impression of the Flora in areas like this one (Yakataga in Alaska PACY), as you can see in the attached video. My expectation was a bit higher. I already owned Trees HD, so the upgrade was not too challenging for my pocket, at least.

There is a change, though,  in other sceneries like PAJN (Juneau). Light green bushes grow there now.

Can you guys recommend some nice airports to take off from to really get a sense of TerraFlora v2/Trees HD? I have been flying mostly in boring flat urban areas and would like to get away and fly somewhere more remote with beautiful landscape to check out these add-ons.
