mopperle Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 And what about VAS impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Armstrong Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 when will this be made available? will this come with official ftx central version 2? FTX Trees HD is a payware product so it will not come with FTXC V2, but they will work seamlessly together. And it will be available soon And what about VAS impact? Testers have not reported any negative performance so far, but we're still fairly early in the testing process. We'll let you know, but it's looking good so far!

teecee Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Magic shots Ian..Just Let me get this straight.. HD trees are a new program soon to be released that will change all the trees in the sim..or will they only show up in scenery specifically designed for them? Teecee.

Hi Teecee, Trees HD will overhaul all of the autogen trees in the FTX regions that you have installed, and Global if you have that. It's a major upgrade -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a major upgrade -Scott Scott, This looks really like a big improvement of scenery that is very good anyway (Orbx). Any chance that we see not only the "normal" wide trees but also those nice slim nothern trees that are so typical for BC, Tongass Agrea and Alaska? That would improve the sceneries even more!

Whether you have Global, NA regions, AU, NZ, EU, or all of them, Trees HD will take the realism to the next level. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I am still trying to get my head around the enormity and scale of this. If no VAS/FPS impact this is going to be a very impressive step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a major upgrade -Scott Just to confirm, the user won't be able to switch back to the current FTX autogen trees default after installing the Trees HD upgrade? That is, the user would have to uninstall Trees HD? My main concern right now is whether there's any significant VAS impact. However, from the screenshots, Trees HD is clearly an absolutely amazing enhancement and I intend to purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 No, you'll be able to switch between FTX Trees HD and the normal FTX trees just by selecting a tick box in FTX Central 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanbatc Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 What TML value do you need to run these trees like in the shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocko Flocko Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Very effective method of simulating extremely realistic looking tree's in FSX/P3D, they truly look dense. IMO these will look absolutely gorgeous in P3D 2 early in the morning as they cast long real-time shadows across the land and flicker into the cockpit during takeoffs. Can't wait!

Scott Armstrong Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 What TML value do you need to run these trees like in the shots? If you're flying in default FSX/P3D, Global, NA or AU regions, no TML tweaks are needed at all! These textures have been upsized from 512 to 1024, which is the default limit for FSX and requires no tweaks. However, if you're flying in our EU or NZ FTX regions, a TML setting of 2048 or higher should be used to see the full resolution textures. This is because the custom FTX trees for these regions were already using 1024 textures, so to upgrade the resolution I had to increase the texture size to 2048. However, if you don't want to increase your TML setting beyond 1024, you will still get the benefit of much more realistic looking textures when flying in EU and NZ regions, just without the increase in resolution. For those of you who don't know what TML is, it stands for Texture Max Load and defines the maximum size of the textures that can be displayed in FSX/P3D. It can be easily changed using the free FTX Aero tool, and I will provide clear instructions for doing this in the Trees HD manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
