Errr, where exactly did Hiflyer express that thought? Looks to me you are drawing your own conclusions.

I know it's difficult but just try 🙄

Rather have that, than a flat, cardboard, X-plane tree, though........ 

Clearly his statement infers he believes it's a choice between the over-sized, homogeneous 3D trees of MS2020 or the correctly scaled, heterogeneous 2D trees of X-plane.

Of course we can have correctly scaled, heterogeneous 3D trees in MSFS2020, if Asobo get their act together on the tree front.

Don't get me wrong, the rest of MSFS2020 looks great, amazing actually... But the trees are a "dropped the ball" moment, IMHO.  I hope it gets addressed soon.

What I read into it is Hiflyer prefers the currently oversized MSFS trees over the X-Plane trees. How does this mean he would think that correctly sized trees are impossible in MSFS? Again, you're jumping to (wrong) conclusions.

No matter what, I believe Asobo will get their act together on the tree subject. Have faith! 😉

When I load up the sim in 2030, I hope that the trees are taller than they are in 2020, because that's what happens when it is as real as it gets. Trees grow...

May all your landings be safe ones!

I remember years ago, Outerra had some ideas about procedural trees that would actually grow, change with the seasons, etc. Of course, it never happened. At least not yet.

So you think accurately sized, realistically varied trees and the current Asobo "3d" modelling technique are mutually exclusive? 🤦‍♂️ It's a nice excuse though.

Clearly yes. There doesn't exist any relevant database of vegetation type and height for every place on Earth. You can make it and give it to ASOBO 🙂 It will be much more useful, than your continuous and annoying crying about trees...

Brilliant 🙄... I am asking for "average" tree heights, not the 10 storey monstrosities we currently see.

Well ... sometimes, trees are 'ten-story-monstrosities'

Even if they don't fix it before release, it sure isn't too hard for a dev to fix. ASOBO have layed a solid technological foundation for that sim.

Look at our current sims in default quality and what they look like with addons. Now apply that to MSFS2020.

Happy with MSFS 🙂

Yes so let's just go ahead and fill our world with those rather than going with the average.

Yeah sure but they are the exception, not the rule, which is what we see in MSFS2020. 🤦‍♂️

Yes of course, how simple, it's all open-source and we can just fork the code and fix it ourselves. 🙄

Just like how a dozen different developers all fixed the oversized autogen houses and trees in FSX and P3D right?

For better immersion I like to see the trees move in the wind.

In the right direction.

Piece of cake with Meteoblue forecasts.

Trees, trees, trees trees.. and couple months later.. still trees, trees, trees.
