Trees - Many Trees

Maybe Lil Dart can help me with this. Where can I find a thick forest in
FS9? I have the Garrish trees and have experimented with the scenery
level sliders but can't find a forest where it's solid trees. Is there
a place like that?

Forests full of trees are something I'm always looking for! I
have seen quite a few trees near Gustavus, AK (small trees, but lots
of them), and I've also seen quite a few on the south side of Mt.
Tahoma (aka Mt. Ranier, SE of Seattle). There's a nice little
airstrip there at Packwood (55S), and it seems to be nicely
surrounded by trees. I've seen quite a few trees at various other
spots as well, but I'll have to think about it some more to remember
just where I've seen them (places all over the world).

I don't know if the trees are part of the package, but a couple of the
pictures of the Misty Fjords scenery look pretty full of trees:

At the fsnordic.net site, search for "forestration10.zip" [sic] in the
file library. It's a file for replacement autogen trees (must have
your autogen slider set as high as possible to take full advantage).
Most of the improvements are in the shapes and types of trees, but
again, if autogen sliders are set high, it should look pretty nice.

http://www.fsnordic.net/

I'm really looking forward to my upcoming upgrade, as I'll finally be
able to set some of my scenery sliders higher than they are now. I'm
hoping that I'll be seeing more trees as well!

As you remember, let me know... It doesn't cost much to send my swing

I think most of us are waiting with bated breath for your first review
after you finish your upgrades.... It may even cause a flood of
upgrades.

I've been thinking of something additional in terms of my upgrade...

If I were to upgrade my motherboard as well (I've seen some pretty
decent prices for motherboards with higher FSB numbers and PCI-e
ports, etc.). This got me thinking about a P4 CPUs in the 3+ Ghz
range (and/or possibly an AMD 64 bit CPU), and perhaps even a video
card with greater power.

Could this represent a significant improvement over what my current
FSB: 533 motherboard could handle in terms of fs9 performance? Or
would my current upgrade choices of CPU/RAM/Video Card for my FSB 533
motherboard be enough to make me *really* happy?

You know, when Gabriella and I drove through Arkansas we actually left
the interstate to visit Stuttgart Arkansas. I forget, is it the duck
capital of the world, or.. I forgot.

ahhh Sprite, you have the fever, and it's contagious. I am now thinking
that a new 3+ Gz machine with a Matrox P card, networked to my 2.6Gz,
Ti4200/128, may be needed here. That's 5 monitors.. I have to think
some more.....

Yep, "The rice and duck capital of the world"
They're at the opposite end of the state from me, and known for a museum
display of decoys, and duck calls - plus home of world duck calling
contest.
Not bad for a little town of ~10,000.
Jeezz, gives me goose bumps just thinking about it! d:->))

Switch to "Top down" view. There are tons of trees,....but they are
two-dimensional and are just part of the "paint-job" when you look straight
down. 3D trees in high volume just aren't "do-able". Each tree would be a
separate scenery "object" and there probably isn't a machine in the world
that could handle it until the "Star-Trek" era gets here and we have
"holodecks".

It is already a struggle to keep machines from getting "choppy" near large
cities while rendering the buildings,...and most of those only have 6
polygons if you count the bottom that you can't see.

You reminded me, we were in OH58's in a firing position north of
Nurnberg when I looked at the trees we were hovering over and realized
they were tall slim pines, about 60 feet tall. The problem was there
were no branches to break a fall with an engine failure and the rotor
would separate from the aircraft leaving 35 or 40 feet to free fall
before we hit the ground. We found a better firing position "beside"
the trees, not over them.

At a guess I would think Central New Guinea would serve your purpose
regarding trees...

Happiness is a mater of time. Next week or maybe next month there will
be something with bells and whistles that will make us say If only I
