coolgovind180 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 may i please know the estimated price for this product? I really want to purchase it once its released since it is a global enhancement for trees all over. Also may i know if this has any fps impact? Now i get smooth fps of 30 almost everywhere except at very populated regions(like EGLL)...i dont want to degrade this smoothness.. thanking you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex330 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Those trees look really good! I'm almost sold (wateing for the price tag ) One question though: In Spring we have many trees in bloom here in Europe, especially the apple and cherry trees. Would there be a way to depict this?

Hi Alex, Yes, some trees will have blossoms. There already some blooming trees in the EU regions during spring time, but Trees HD will make them look far more realistic. And I can assure you that the price will be very reasonable Cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabloomf1230 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 ...since it is a global enhancement for trees all over. Is it? I thought from reading the threads on this product that the HD trees are only for ORBX regions. I could be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picard1013 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Fascinating!　Now cherry blossoms is coming out. I am looking forward to seeing the blossoms in ORBX woorld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolgovind180 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is it? I thought from reading the threads on this product that the HD trees are only for ORBX regions. I could be wrong, though. see..if you have ftx global base..then it will replace the trees all over the globe..any orbx product..trees would be upgraded..thats what i understood...

jabloomf1230 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If that's the case, I will buy it as soon as it is released. The screenshots look much better than any of the existing HD tree add-ons for FSX and P3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sightseer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If current regions are having there trees changed to 'HD Trees', what will future regions and addon airports use? Will they have their own trees as has been the case till now or will they just use existing HD trees or existing Global trees or...? [default pre Orbx trees]? I am all for eliminating region switching if this has anything to do with that but variety has been the very foundation of Orbx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 We hope to have a solution within a year that eliminates region switching forever. We've been doing R&D on this and some positive results have been found. I for one would love to offer FTX as a complete switchless solution, so no promises but we're working on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sightseer Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 That sounds great, John. Im sure we all look forward to hearing more on that. Thanks for the reply. Will the HD Trees product decrease New Zealand's apparently high tree density? OR - can what was done in New Zealand just be done EVERYWHERE! It works.

Scott Armstrong Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I really can't tell the difference between what comes with global and this. Is there a direct comparison someplace? I'll post some comparison shots soon. Trust me, there's a BIG difference Is it? I thought from reading the threads on this product that the HD trees are only for ORBX regions. I could be wrong, though. We've added a few features since my first posts in order to simplify things and improve the experience for the maximum number of people. Trees HD will now replace ALL autogen trees, WORLDWIDE, for EVERYBODY, whether you own Global or not! In fact, you don't even have to own any other ORBX products; even if you just have plain default FSX or P3D, it will still replace all of your default autogen trees. Owners of FTX regions will have the added benefit of having their region-specific tree types upgraded too. see..if you have ftx global base..then it will replace the trees all over the globe..any orbx product..trees would be upgraded..thats what i understood... Not anymore; see my above comment No Global required! However, if you do have Global, of course you will get the added advantage of the better ground textures, autogen placement, and variation, which makes the experience that much better.

Scott Armstrong Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Scott, can you give any indication of whether this will have a noticeable effect on frame rates and/or VAS usage? Neither our beta testers nor myself have seen any noticeable drop in performance at all! This goes for FPS or VAS.
