Scott Armstrong Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi Everyone, My apologies for the lack of updates during the past week or so. As some of you may know, in addition to my flight sim work I also fly professionally, and while I've been working on Trees HD I've also been training to be a First Officer in the CRJ at Skywest Airlines (the US version, not Australian ). The good news is, I passed my training and now have my ATP certificate and CRJ type rating! It's been a long time coming. But now on to the good stuff - I've wrapped up my final work on Trees HD, and have sent my files to Ed to make the installer! Keep a close watch out for Emmsie's Final Shots post, and the Release Announcements forum... If all goes well, you should have Trees HD on your hard drive this weekend For those of you who are late to the party, here's what Trees HD is all about: Worldwide overhaul of autogen trees Beautiful new high-definition textures based on real photos - double the resolution of default trees Optimized models actually IMPROVE your sim's performance - Up to 20% higher FPS, with no VAS hit! Compatible with all ORBX FTX regions, FTX Global, and Default FSX/P3D - No prior ORBX products required! New custom vegetation for FTX regions Incredibly realistic low-level experience for GA flyers Immersive approaches and increased performance for tube jockeys Upgrades vegetation around your airport sceneries (except for custom vegetation) Low price of AUD 22.95 (USD 17.66, EUR 16.57, GBP 12.00 at current rates) And now for some shots of the finished product. Enjoy!!

Double J Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Looks great. How about Sonoran Saguaro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertPilot Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Instant buy for me, get ready for another very slow FSS download day!!! Looks great. How about Sonoran Saguaro? If it's not there in southern Arizona with the initial release of Trees HD, perhaps in coordination with the future openLC NA via a Trees HD service pack (the Saguaro cactus, like as pictured in my avatar)?

Scott Armstrong Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the good vibes everyone, it really means a lot! Looks great. How about Sonoran Saguaro? Not at this time; Trees HD only replaces existing tree types. But in the future... who knows Instant buy for me, get ready for another very slow FSS download day!!! Luckily, the download will only be 60 or so MB! -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Concratulations Scott, wish you safe flying. Those shots look great. Do you have some words in regard to shimmering? The current trees are for me the main source of shimmering and I would expect this to become even worse with the increased detail of the new trees. Sorry if this has been asked already.
