No auto gen trees displaying on scenery?

Hi Devs,

After installing, twice, I have no autogen trees displaying in scenery, I have a i5 2500 k 3.3 ghz PC with an AMD 2 gig 6900 Radeon GPU, with 16 gig ram...every thing runs fine....except no trees, anything I cab do please?

Cheers,

Of course it depends where you are, but you need to set tree density (graphics settings at the bottom) at least at MEDIUM. If you go to Calaveras in California, RWY 31 takeoff in Cessna, this is what you should see.

Hi,
It doesnt matter where i start, or what settings I have, i have no trees...and i have all my settings on Ultra,,,still no trees!
Cheers,

Further to the above, this is getting weird now, I have some trees, but they fade in and out as I pass by? They disappear (come and go) when I take off they disappear...

Maybe try updating your graphics card drivers from the amd website?

Hi Jet-Pack,

I'm up to date with the latest driver thanks,

Have you turned your driver to default settings?

anfield ace · December 30, 2016 at 11:59 PM

HiFlyer,

I've only ever used default settings with each diver, I don't think AMD are updating this card anymore, due to its age!

Ouch! How is it at running FSX?

anfield ace · December 31, 2016 at 12:10 AM

Pretty good, I've it set to 26 fps, and with a complete collection of Orbx sceneries, I do OK...I know I really need a new rig, but the performance in Aerofly is incredible...its just the lacking of these darn trees {LOL}

whitav8 · December 31, 2016 at 12:17 AM

One thing we all have to remember is that Aerofly FS2 uses OpenGL4.5 for graphics and not DirectX11. I don't think that older graphics cards are always good at recent OpenGL since it isn't used by many games.

anfield ace · December 31, 2016 at 12:22 AM

OK thanks for that, so if my card cannot display OpenGL 4.5 then I'll never get the best out of this sim?...ooh well, back to good old FSX SE!

whitav8 · December 31, 2016 at 12:28 AM

Don't give up just yet - it's possible that IPACS may have some ideas - and it might not be the OpenGL issue with regards to trees, but something else. I was just guessing at a possible problem - I think that Nvidia cards have kept up with newer OpenGL - just not sure about AMD. FSX SE is still twice as slow as FS2.

OK, thanks for your help, I'll keep an eye on the Forum, and watch out for updates!
