This is what I have for forest part of Virgin island. Does this look like Arizona desert to you?

 

 

Even the desert areas I have in virgin island or Caribbean don't look like Arizona like you claim:

Let me know your account number on simmarket so I can refund you.

Here are the native species to the Virgin Islands.  https://www.nps.gov/viis/learn/nature/vi-native-plants.htm

There will be small prickly pear cactuses in a few arid areas but not large barrel cactuses everywhere. And cactuses are not a major biome for those islands so in the sim it all looks wrong. Take a look at Google Maps Satellite images and you won’t see them. The islands around South America are arid and thus have more shrubs and cactuses. I have driven the entire island of Tortola on vacation and not once did I see large barrel cactuses. I don’t know where you’re getting your images but they are misleading you. I just checked St. Marteen with your add-on and again you see barrel cactuses, but I’ve never seen one in real life there after three visits. 
 

Barrel Cactuses are found in the Southwestern US and in Mexico. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_cactus

I am not trying to criticize your hard work. I was merely asking you to take another look at the islands. I know only so much can be done in the sim and trade-offs must be made. So what I look at is does the scenery have the right vibe and is it convincing. This doesn’t do that for many of the Caribbean islands.

I will go over and adjust any areas that need to be tropical and adjust the desert areas.

If you can take a screenshot from above so I can see what area it is covering, I can draw a exclusion polygon on it to override the wrong trees.

From South looking North (YCFS):

Strangely, there are fewer trees with colours than before the MSFS2024 update. There are a few on the hill south of the airport though. 

Then I restarted the sim. For some reason now there are even more coloured trees. Not sure what is going on here...

@Cpt_Piett, @BijanStudio,

Don't know if this helps or just confuses, but this is how it looks for me. Updated MSFS2024 and Bijans 1.3. 4k and Ultra. I'm not getting the autumnal trees at all.

It's helpful! Something weird is up with my installation/setup. That's an awesome screenshot by the way 👌

I've made an exclusion area for that airport. 

I've also made some changes to Caribbean and other islands.

Dear Bijan, 

just bought the 2024 and checked my home base Curacao in the Caribbean (TNCC). There are a lot of trees next to the airport, especially between the runway and the sea which are not existing in reality. Would be great if you would be able to remove them in your next update! 

Thanks a lot and best wishes from Curacao!
