• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Bush Removal

Which version of FS are you using?

In FsX I think all trees and bushes are library objects, so that means you could try to extract the objects you don't like. Although the engine will still try to draw them, you won't see them (don't know, but maybe the trying to draw can have a performance hit as well).

Another option would be to edit the texture of the bushes and make it fully transparant. Nothing to be seen anymore, although it is still drawn of course.

yeah, i'm trying to get rid of them to boost performance, and because they're ugly too lol. Oh BTW i'm using FSX. If somone could give me the file names of the textures, that'd be cool too
 
Have either of you looked at the terrain.cfg file? That's the master file where all the different types of autogen trees, shrubs, etc. are specified per region... It may offer a more global method for "shrub trimming..." :wave:
 
Just to confim you only want to remove small shrubs and bushes? or did you want to completely remove all autogen trees?
 
I'm a total noob here, and perhaps this opinion is a little naive, but why don't you just turn the Autogen Slider all the way down. It will get rid of all those non realistic things that hog performance, like corn cob houses and ugly trees.
My other suggestion is to try SbuilderX. You can draw polygons that exclude whatever you want to remove from the scenery at any level of detail.
