Excessive amount of trees (2024 trees are even more excessive than 2020)

There is a tree inside my balcony deck, going through it, and through my house! It is crazy! Not sure if they would be able to fix something as large as the scenery and trees being in large amounts.

Lookit this at my local airport Palo Alto. This is in High realism.

Weird boxes around trees?

Reminds me of the FS2020 launch.

I took off from EGHI today and there were trees growing out of ships in the docks!!!

This has been an ongoing problem in FS2020 as well. Lots of users complaining, and nothing done. For a couple weeks there was one release where they got it spot on - bushes were bushes, trees were trees, single story houses were one story not three and they were all the right color and the roads in my neighborhood were just about perfect to RL.

The next week was ■■■■■ again, total data revision was done, apparently messing up all the improvements that temporarily looked so fine.

So I expect we’ll see the same thing in 2024. At least crash settings will let you fly through trees for now until they fix it.

Trees must be corrected urgently in the simulator. A Global Fix. Everywhere there are too many trees, you can’t see the houses, you can’t see the roads, there are whole forests where there are only grasses. There are trees where there shouldn’t be. It’s horrible. A much worse bug than in MSFS2020 where the only problem was the excessive height of the trees which was easily corrected, but at least they were well placed. Hopefully there will be an update on this

Agreed. Yesterday I posted an issue of palm trees in Washington DC.

How’d they miss that? Ccmon now

They are too many trees everywhere but not in the forests when seen from above… like… what gives?

Absolutely agree! Trees growing right along the shoreline of ocean beaches and on concrete piers for ocean-going ships. It’s absurd!

This topic is not correct. There is no need to reduce the number of trees. The developer should make sure that the trees are where they are in reality. I flew over several forests where there were hardly any trees, the hillside was barren. However, there are cities where trees grow from the buildings, but the forests are barren.

@bijanstudio Has released a 2024 compatible tree mod that is currently in the process of rectifying all those issues.

I totally agree. I flew from Tenerife South and the airport and surrounding area is saturated with trees. In real life you’d be pushed to see any. I’ve also seen trees on the runway thresholds!

There are no trees around my local airport in real life. In-game the tree generation was too exagerated, there are basically no fields anymore, there are trees everywhere.


For example here if you look on the left, it is nothing. No tree. In-game, there is actually a forest.

• Yes

• It applies in many different locations. My exampes show trees growing in the top of ships at Long Beach Harbour; San Diego Harbour; and all over the Shetland Islands where no trees grow at all in the real world

YES !!!

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
One can find AI trees growing out of ships, piers, and bridges in most harbours. Most harbors also have at least one moster sized tree. For example:

  1. There are AI trees growing out of the USS Intrepid in New York City.
  2. In Boston, there are AI trees growing out of boats tied up along Long Warf, a ship in the B Street Dry Dock, in the USS Constitution, and the Old Northern Avenue Bridge. There is also a 20+ story high AI tree in Eastport Park.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

• Boston - Long Warf

• Boston - B Street Dry Dock

• Boston - USS Constitution

• Boston - Old Northern Avenue Bridge
