This is a package of vegetation enhancements to remove the vast majority of photogrammetry trees located in Balboa Park and replace them with more accurate vegetation. At some point I hope to expand this package with hand models covering the Naval Hospital and associated facilities, San Diego Zoo, museums, etc., but for the time being it is just vegetation placement polygons and some hand-placed modeled trees and road lights (taken from Asobo's default scenery libraries).

Features

• Detailed overhaul of vegetation in the Balboa Park area (and some adjacent bits) using a mix of native vegetation polygons with some hand-placed palm trees and lights.
• Package contains no new models, but the Cabrillo Bridge (shown in many screenshots) is available as part of my own Coronado Bridge package (highly recommended!).
• Placement optimized for REX Accuseason vegetation, but compatible with default trees and should work with other addons as well.
• Note that hand-placed palm trees require World Update 10 (USA) to be installed.
• Most photogrammetry vegetation removed from scenery, except where it can't be removed without messing up an attached building, or in the rare cases where it already looks pretty good.
• Some additions to the pavement lighting for night time, but keep in mind that the park largely is not lit up at night except for the major roads.

How To Donate

If you enjoy this addon or my other scenery addons, please consider using the PayPal link on my profile page at flightsim.to to donate. I make scenery addons for the fun of it, not specifically looking to monetize my work, but keep in mind that putting these sceneries together requires a significant investment of time, effort, and research, and every bit helps.

Thanks, and enjoy!
