    Lake District National Park scenery corrections (tree fix & more) - Image 1

    Description

    This add-on aims to correct the autogen trees in the Lake District national park. The AI autogen has misinterpreted all kinds of rocky crags, shadows and patches of heather/bush as full sized trees, leading to a rather unrealistic amount of tree vegetation up on the high ground of The Lakes. There are also a few rogue autogen buildings where there shouldn't be.  I've been round and cleaned this up, the bulk of the tree removal is complete but I'll refine it over time if there are any missed patches. Let me know in the comments if you find big clusters of trees where they shouldn't be, or any patches where I've been over-zealous with my deforestation.  This has not been tested with the 3rd-party Orbx British Isles Mesh terrain since I don't own it.

    I've attached a map showing the areas I've covered. This is most of the high ground where there were excessive trees.

    This may also expand to include more minor scenery fixes in the Lake District. So far it includes:

    • Removal of excessively tall wind turbines at Kirkstone Pass Inn. The real turbines there are very small, it looks better not to include any.
    • Parked cars at Kirkstone Pass Inn.
    • Churches (generic Asobo model) in Keswick and Ambleside
    • Boats, piers and pontoons around Windermere (work-in-progress). This is fully compatible with the excellent Mamudesign Marinas scenery, my hand-placed boats and piers will take priority over the Mamudesign ones, wherever there is any overlap.

    Drop any other suggestions in the comments and I'll consider them!

    Anyone know if this is needed for FS24 and even if it works?

    I doubt its needed for 2024, I think they did a better job of tree placement in the newer sim.

    I don't own the Orbx British Isles Mesh, and don't have any plans to buy it, so I can't answer this - sorry!

    I have the Orbx mesh and this addon still works as designed.

    Are the new boat & piers compatible with the Mamudesign Marinas mod?

    Probably not, but I'm on it right now. Will add exclusion zones to avoid conflicts with Mamudesign Marinas.

    EDIT: fixed in v0.4.1 by adding exclusion rectangles.

    Thank you for the quick update!

    Thank you for this. Much more realistic.
    Not sure if this in included in your area but I noticed there should be trees at 54° 31.50' N 2° 48.32' W

    Yes that should be within the bounds of this scenery. I'll take a look after Christmas.
    EDIT: fixed in v0.4

    Excellent. Thank you for a great addon and a quick response.

    Great work! Any chance you can add some of the north pennies in? Near Dufton to sort out High cup nick and the Cross Fell area out? It's covered with trees/bushes needs clearing up.

    Thanks! Sorry for the late reply - I'll do the Pennines but will probably make them a separate download rather than expand this one. Purely because it makes it a bit easier to work with in the scenery editor.

    Fantastic work, really makes a big difference when flying in the area. Would love to see the Mach Loop (Wales/Snowdonia area etc) given some love if you are continuing the project!

    Thanks! I've seen a few requests for the Mach Loop. I'm haven't yet checked a map to see what the extent of the Mach Loop is, but does this Snowdonia add-on cover it? https://flightsim.to/file/4221/snowdonia-deforestation

    Or does the Mach Loop extend outside that area?

    about 3 years ago

    It extends outside of the area from what I can see. There's plenty of maps online showing the area of where aircraft Loop around. If you need a helping hand just send me a message and i'll be more than happy to help if you ever plan on taking up this project. It would be great to see it cleaned up and looking spiffy for flights! Thanks in advance :)
