I am using P3D V5.3 with latest fixes. I have an ADE custom-built fictional airport and I would like to add seasonal HD trees around the perimeter, between hangers etc to make the airport look more realistic. I have ORBX TrueEarth GB installed with my ADE airport over laying this.
I understand that in order to have textures for 3D vegetation objects change with the seasons, one must use placement of scenery library objects via Autogen-XML-type *an.agn files created via FS / P3D Autogen SDK compiler. I have had a brief run through the SDK Autogen documentation and have an idea how to complete the models and groups using the AutogenConfigEditor/AutogenEditor. However I am lost on how I can use the Annotator as I don't have the PhotoReal Scenery for object placement. All I have is the ADE airport layout.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am currently using SIMDIRECTOR (which LM have finally got working really well) to place HD Trees around the airport which is really easy to do - BUT NO SEASONALITY! Current thoughts are to produce 3 gbl files (summer, fall and winter) and activate one depending on the actual season before I start P3D but it would be good to have autogen seasonality/
