Mark Abdey Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Amazing!... I'd love to know how many trees are being rendered at max agn settings?... equally amazing is how performance is maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxx Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have auto gen set at max 4500 trees per cell for NZS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Amazing!... I'd love to know how many trees are being rendered at max agn settings?... equally amazing is how performance is maintained. If you don't have any restrictors set in fsx.cfg, then it would be 6,000 trees per square kilometre. Performance is maintained because Matt Tomkins devised a new method of referencing autogen texture sheets which reduces the number of drawcalls and also the size of the texture sheets being called. That combined with our own brand new tree primitive models by Martin Henare gives us a new custom autogen trees solution. We can thank ACES for creating this extensibility in the original SDK, but it's a double edged sword. Because so many files are globally shared, it's a nightmare to manage large scenery projects like this (thus FTX Central). If they had allowed localisation of custom elements we would be a lot more advanced in implementing brand new tech in the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyxx Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 6000 per cell WOW John, thanks for that, I will re-set my limit to that. Great job, Thanks Orbx for this great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J van E Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 6000 per cell WOW John, thanks for that, I will re-set my limit to that. Great job, Thanks Orbx for this great work. I think the best thing to do is to remove that line completely from the cfg! Those trees look great indeed. I think I may have to buy NZSI...

Mark Abdey Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thank you for the information John; the numbers are quite staggering. It seemed clear there was something different going on with NZ's forests as soon as you flew over them... good work Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
