Foliage Question

[AOB 78]

Hi All, I am looking for a bit of assistance please. I know this has been bought up before and there are a couple of tree mods in flightsim.to but .... I tried using them and the trees around my local airport are still totally overwhelming. I even bought the Accusim Seasons software yesterday and set it to 75% tree height but to me it is still not enough reduction in tree height. So .... Does anyone know what lines in the 10-asobo-species xml file need to be changed to get a smaller tree in Australia please? At this point I do not know which category Aussie trees even fall under to fiddle with the number myself. I do not think they are connifers.

If I can crack this then I figure I will have my local version of the file that I can swap out for the original when I want to do some flying around home.

There may be a reason the trees only get so short.  Underneath them are ugly polygons from the photogrammetry.  They take a lot of time to get rid of and replace.

Trees located in the cities require individual attention, as opposed to an entire forest.

It's been about 3 months since I last fired up the sim (outside of keeping it up to date) First thing I noticed yesterday was alot more trees/bushes?? Here in the southwest, as the OP said, It's overwhelming and really green! Am I just seeing things or were more trees added in an recent update?

Thank you for your responses. Well I have been messing around with all sorts of things today. First I went through and edited every min and max line in the 10-asobo-species xml file and that did nothing. I next uninstalled WU7 - no change. Played with Accusim Seasons that I bought yesterday and no difference in tree height. Messed with the Google map replacement and no joy there either. Turned off Photogrammetry and bingo - perfect trees but all the buildings have gone to unrecognisable. It seems to me now to be a choice. If you have Photogrammetry turned on then the buildings are really great, if you turn it off then the trees are great but you cannot have both.

I did not know if it is my rig that maybe is doing it or if others are experiencing the same thing so it was good to hear from reignman40. 

I have an AMD Ryzen 5 with 8gb of RAM, 2 Graphic cards, one is a 2gb Radeon Vega, the other a 3 GB Nvidia card. Maybe 5gb of video power is not enough for this game?

properties in that xml file are only for non photometric areas.

Thank you for that. It was as I feared. 🙂
