My trees look weird...

[Fnerg]

Hi guys, can you help me? I recently reinstalled FS9 and seem to have lost full looking trees somehow. Looking at the pics, see how they are cut in half? Anyone have a suggestion that might help?

Something does look amiss, but I'd bet you a beer that treegen.zip (http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=treegen.zip) will fix it!

That is the scenery file in question... not the autogen, necessarily. I have that problem with Bill Lyons Apache scenery, not anywhere else!

[FengZ]

yeah, that's definitely the scenery. Nothing much you can do about that except contact the author to fix it. It looks like he is using the default FS9 tree texture as textures for his custom geometry...thus this weird result (but im not 100% sure).

Hi Fnerg,
By the looks of it when you re-installed your Fs9 you may have stuff left over from the previous install which included different trees.

There are several choices as the standard trees are massive, out of scale, and sparse. There are commercial ones but two that I think are pretty good and free are fsTree2004 by Oscar and TreeGen V 1.0 by Feng Zhu. I use TreeGen. Because both sets are smaller scale and there are more of them looks more realistic and easier on the FRs. Try these, should get your trees looking good.

Cheers Shessi

First four are fsTree2004 and the second set of four are TreeGen V1.0:-

Just to add another, I use Feng's TreeGen 1.07 trees from Real Environment Professional, free at AvSim:

When I use Active Sky 6.5, I uncheck the REP Sun and Sky Texture, but leave the others intact.
