Adding autogen trees

[Novastar 0]

HiI'm in the process of re-building one of my sceneries and would like to know if there is a way to add autogen trees to a specific area that presently just shows grass. The area in question is parallel and quite close to a runway edge.When I originally designed the scenery for FS2002 I used the outstanding trees by Gerrish Grey, which I was totally happy with, but had some complaints about the framerate hits they caused. I removed them but still want to have some sort of trees in this specific area as the scenery just doesn't look right without them.TIA for suggestionsVern

If you want to add autogen tree you need to add a VTP polygon that uses the default texture of the trees. The autogen will then be aded automatically.But if it is very close to your runway, you run the risk that they are exclude by it,

Thank you for your reply Arno.I am not familiar with what a VTP polygon is or how to add it. Is there somewhere I can find more information on this. Also is there a specific texture associated with it for trees and if so the file name.Thanks againVern

You're replying to a 12 year old thread, which version of flight sim and what dev tools are you working with? VTP polygons are only applicable in FS2004 and earlier versions.

 

If you're making scenery for these older sim versions there are some nice tutorials here: http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/scenery/tutorials.html

Use a landclass polygon.

I'm thinking that it is time to start locking dead threads.

Yes. In ADE use the Add Polygon tool, draw out the area to cover and in the property sheet change Type to Landclass, then choose a suitable landclass for trees.
