alpilotx Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 The latest little project I am working on is a "plain and simple" update of my X-Plane 10 Tree Lines and Farms scenery to V2. The main improvement will be, that you will see a vastly improved amount of tree lines:based on newer OSM data (the same I used for HD Mesh Scenery v2 ... thus the two are "perfectly" matched), which alone brings - because of its growth - a lot of new vector data where I can derive more tree linesnow many tree lines are also placed along water features (rivers, lakes) - which was a long requested featurerailroads got a few tree lines tooOverall - just by looking at the file sizes - the amount of tree lines is easily tripled! Follow this link for a lot more screen shots:https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/PREVIEWXPlane10TreeLinesAndFarmsV2?authuser=0&feat=directlinkEstimated release should be in the coming 2-4 weeks. PS: and some of you will notice, that all the screenshots have a new "atmosphere" look, which is based on the great findings from this thread at AVSIM:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/433908-experimenting-with-art-controls-raleigh-scattering/page-3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaps Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Great idea. Looking forward to it. One question, will the farms be for all of North America or only the USA like the previous? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpilotx Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Farms are not being changed (at least I do not have plans to invest time in that now) ... the artwork will be the same as before. The difference will only be (just like with V1) between Europe and North America as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rleendertz Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 AWESOME work as always, Thank You!Do I need tree lines and farm v1 if im using your HD Mesh v2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpilotx Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 does that mean the farms will show within Canada? Version 1 didn't Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYes, with North America I indeed meant North America ... so yes, Canada will be included (I plan to make the coverage approximately identical to HD Mesh Scenery v2).

alpilotx Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 AWESOME work as always, Thank You!Do I need tree lines and farm v1 if im using your HD Mesh v2?Tree Lines and Farms are only "candy on the cake" ... so you don't need it Its always optional ... but definitely nice to have. And you can now pull v1 and later upgrade to v2 (both work nicely with HD Mesh Scenery v2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleendertz Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 thanks! then these extra trees and such are not present with HD Mesh2... downloading now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMAXX Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes one of the best additions to X-Plane thank you Andras! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2 HD Mesh made an incredible difference in Canada. Thank you !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Knudsen Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 A small digress, but could you tweak the saturation on HDR in some way? Is that even possible?Reason for asking is that I believe some of the agriculture textures are a bit to green with HDR on, and there for would blendmore in with tree-lines and farms v2 package, especially with the dataref tweaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris k Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I am very glad someone has figured out how to increase the rayleigh scatteing effect One of my quirks was that, although atmospheric scattering was an option, it was never pronounced enough to be more like "what you see out the window" in real life. I read in the other thread that Ben is totally opposed to increasing the effect; which is a shame, as I think everyone out there will probabaly use the dataref editor.script/plugin to give this effect. John - Want to add this natively int SkyMAXX? (just a few datarefs you gotta poke as part of your UI =)..) - CK.

Tom Knudsen Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I believe Ben main focus is to maintain and developing the fundamentals, leaving the tweaking and modifications up to awsomethird party vendors like John, Andras, Chris and many more!

JohnMAXX Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Supnik specifically states that 3rd party developers shouldn't mess with art controls..... With that said I think the LR crew will probably accommodate the user base soon. Personally I hope they add some sliders (you know me I love sliders) so the end user can fine adjust the effects. We will see, if not and we get the go ahead from Laminar we can provide something...... <<edit>> Personally I love the tweaks, I think they are just what HDR needed.....
