The MSFS2024 SU4 Beta is amazing me in many ways. For one, dead branches of vegetations are somethings I’d never seen in other flight simulators before.

901: To Cut the Trees Short
Following is a quick image comparison of two addons that help me reducing oversized trees in MSFS2024. The freeware, Forest Enhancement Mod by badnick578, was downloaded from Flightsim.to. The paid one, Smaller Trees Pro by 4Simmers, was purchased directly from the simulator store.

Generally, both addons achieve the goal of shortening vegetations in MSFS2024 without compromising performance.
Personally, the winner goes to Continue reading
670: My Vegetations Mod Update 3
Just slightly modified the vegetation files I’ve been using for the last few months in MSFS since Post 654 to better meet my personal preference.
If you are interested, you may download it from the Freeware Section in my Store. A few more files are added to the package as well.
But as always, Continue reading
654: My Vegetations Mod Updated
In addition to some adjustments to the maximum and minimun values in my last modified vegetation file reported in Post 648, a new tweak to display trees to far distance without performance hit (click image below to enlarge) is further included. It has become my MUST-HAVE tweak for MSFS 2020.
As we know that simulators only load up autogens within specific distance surrounding the aircraft. With this mod showing vegetations virtually unlimited in far distance, the popping up of other autogens becomes unnoticeable — giving you an illusion that everything is already in place.

648: My MSFS Vegetations Mod
Vegetations in MSFS are generally regarded oversized and look unrealistically. There are tips on the Internet to help improve the situation by reducing the MAX and MIN values of all entries in the 10-asobo_species.xml file under “/fs-base/vegetation” folder to about 60% – 80% (or about 4 – 8 points) of their originals.
My personal preference after tests is to keep the minimum values unchanged but to lower the maximum values to the same values of the minimum; or to 5 when the minimum values are less than 5.
Reducing all the maximum values to the minimum values is also good.
Here’s the download link to the five Vegetation files Continue reading
