    I am using SimHeaven and GF. You need to deactivate the forest-layer of all SimHeaven parts. I use the tool "xToolbox"  for these operations. Moreover in the "scenery_packs.ini" place the GF

I don't get it 😕 Why are you downloading Global Forests again if Simheaven is giving you a better experience? Have to try this for myself then, and if you are right I will start to regret having purchased Global Forests 😆

Global Forests takes cae of the greenery in the sim. SimHeaven takes care of the buildings.

I too use sim heaven forest over global forest. Sim heaven also gives you vineyards. Global forest doesn’t.

I think I agree.  I finally got Global Forests installed, but I see more coverage using SimHeaven Forests.

I believe sim heaven forests have more coverage, but less variations. 
I could be wrong. 
 

As a side note, I managed to get orbx autogen and overlays working with map enhancement pro Bing maps, and man it looks good! 

SimHeaven's vegetation coverage data is fine for Europe, but has massive gaps in other regions like north America. Global Forests really makes a massive difference there.

I would like to give that a go.  I deleted Orbx TrueEarth because I preferred the Map enhancement tool.  I'll download a True Earth region again. Could you explain how you did it?

Yeah just disabled the orbx ortho overlay section in the scenery ini with the DISABLED flag.

I wonder if it’s possible to have global forests active everywhere except in Europe then?

How about using xOrrganizer to create two profiles, one for Europe with Global Forest disabled, and one for the rest of the world with Global Forests on? Select the correct profile before flight?

I guess some SimHeaven lines need disabling too?

Hi,

Just did some side-by-side testing and it looks to me like Orbx Global forest out performs Sim-Haven Forest, at least in Brazil.

No, not if the orbx lines are above them.

I can't seem to get Global Forests working correctly - very sparse coverage in the UK or USA.
