Even moss-covered rocks get interpreted as trees, or perhaps a clump of heather.
Have you informed Bijan in his thread (seasons-2024-enhanced-by-bijan) about the problems? Normally he tries to fix this asap. I made a flight around Salt Lake today and have snow and great locking trees. I have no real life comparisons but I still love this add on.

An update too the Utah area will be released this weekend (Version 1.70)
The entire Canary Island Tenerife (texture and scenery by IslandCreations), including the area of Tenerife Sur airport by simwings, is covered with trees and bushes, which should not be, which was not there in 2020. There are simply countless trees there in 2024(
And in principle, all over Eastern Europe, trees grow on the runways at various airfields(

I can confirm same for Island of Gran Canaria. FS2024 shows huge rainforest like trees and in many spots even down to the beach, where in reality there are either none or or only small bushes.

Do you use products by islandcreations and simwings for Canarys?
Sorry, I was too fast - my fault. Actually I were referring to the base version of FS2024 without any add-ons.
However, I just saw the cool textures and landscape of the canary islands from island creations. Looks really good on their homepage. As I love the canary islands in RL, that makes these add-ons very interesting for me! 
Yes, it is. But, I have these products. And with them there are still countless trees there(
I would have not expected that with an add-on … but for sure I hope it gets fixed, in the base version and in the add-ons as well!
Stupid question: is it possible to use add-ons with FS2024 without going through the Marketspace? Or was it carried over from FS2020?
Yes, of course. Most of 2020 scenery and planes and others addons works normally. Just add 2020s addons to the 2024s community folder or change sim comm. folder from 2020 to 2024 in addon linker tool.

You inspired me to take a look at Tenerife. Wow it’s bad - I added a comparison image to my first post!

As for Tenerife by IslandCreations, the developer said they will release a version for 2024 with a tree fix also. Probably for an extra fee, I think.
MSFS2024 bad tree autogen location all over the world
the autogen of the trees is totally wrong. It looks like you are flying in pure woods all the time. The new simulator creates forests that don’t exist, pasture areas are now forests, some crop fields are detected as forests, trees that don’t exist in reality are now located all over the scenery. In addition, the trees are large and extensive and do not let you see the houses or streets. This is not solved overnight, you have to completely rescan the world with new AI parameters.It looks like flying in fantasy scenarios far away from the reality.
hope Asobo will soon fix this issue

You may have an older version or you don’t have my mod because the trees in Canary Island are accurate.

I did a similar test today flying around my local area YBTL, external top view down and pausing and comparing with EFB satellite imagery. I tend to think and i could be wrong, but it kinda looks like In game generated trees include additional trees for the shadows visible in satellite imagery, hence adding additional row of trees,

Hi all, I have to confirm the autogen tree issue.
I am still on FS 2020 but the problem is the same here. It has always been there but it became significantly worse and more obvious with the last world update Germany-Austria-Switzerland.
At my home airfield EDBF (which is remarkably well done otherwise) the windsock is now hidden in a group of trees. Windsocks have always been popping into view quite too late but now it’s not visible at all and some of the trees are floating 1 or 2 feet above the ground.
At ED72 (a small airfield I very much liked to fly into because of the challenging short, sloped and somewhat a bit hard to find runway) the runway is now completely blocked by trees that are not there in real life (been there):
These are only two examples. On many small airfields things in the vicinity that I used for orientation have changed so they are harder to find/see.
Some villages near EDBF that I used to find my way when flying traffic pattern now look like little forests with a house popping out here and there.
Fields that clearly show the typical trails of tractors or whatever have placed trees all over them. On approach to RWY 28 at EDBF I have to be careful not to hit the trees on the fields.
Since I’m simming on XBox there are simply no settings i could tweak.
So dear Asobo team — you have done an outstanding job creating this entire world for us — please do something about this. It has been better previously
so reverting it to the state before the world update Germany-Austria-Switzerland would probably already go a long way as a first step.
Kind regards,
Frank
I, too, noticed this degredation last year in MSFS 2020, but I noticed it after WU 17 (UK and Ireland). Of course, that area has always looked awful, in no small part because every hedgerow (and the British Isles have millions of hedgerows) is rendered as a line of big trees, and always has been since 2020 was released. Sometime last year, however, trees definitely appeared in more places where there should be only grass or rock. As noted in many other posts, however, the problem isn’t, unfortunately, confined to any one region, but is rampant worldwide. It’s really frustrating, since with 2024 Asobo finally managed to make cliffs look decent, whereas in 2020 they looked like dirty sheets thrown over furniture, but the vegetation is often so jarringly unrealistic that it totally kills the illusion of “being there.”

Yes Microsoft Tree Simulator 2020 has way too many in much of europe and at my local airfield in Scotand it missed some trees and bushes at one end of a big grass flying area but added hundreds of trees to the circuit area making it look terrible. An update also coarsened the ground contours wrecking scenery I made to correct the place.
But in Microsoft Tree Simulator 2024 it is even worse and trees now also stand on the grass runways and in a ploughed field nearby.
But given that they never fixed the overkill in '20 I doubt that they ever will

Not only did they never fix it in 2020, they actually made it worse with updates. Moreover, has anyone from MS or Asobo ever acknowledged that the problem exists?

This thread is marked as “bug-logged” so I think the answer to that is yes.
