I fly regularly to St Barth in MSFS (I have the the premium version of MSFS with Asobo’s St Barth scenery installed) and I am very annoyed by the trees right in the middle of the final approach path. IRW, there are no trees. I tried to use the SDK to remove them with either an exclusion rectangle or a vegetation polygon and negative settings, but nothing works.
Any idea on how to remove these trees for good? Is it because I am trying to modify a 3rd party scenery (even if its made by Asobo) ? Thanks for your help!
One of the most well known approaches on the planet thanks to YouTube. What was the point of Asobo hand crafting it, to then leave it almost unusable like this? And no attempt to fix it.
If you delete the handmade version you end up with a bare hillside so the developer especially added it just for us.
This is an unusual decision.
I would suggest making an exclusion and naming the folder with a ‘z-’ at the start so it loads higher than the original and might override it, but I don’t think that’ll work for an Asobo one.
As it stands I think the airport would have to be remade completely, and since you can’t use the buildings unless the airport is present as a package you’d have to remake the entire thing from scratch.
Id it’ Is Asobo’s scenery, you don’t Need special naming, because Community sceneries are loaded After them (loading order Is from Content.xml file)
You can exclude pretty much everything you want based on priority, Asobo or 3d party,
In this case those seem like default trees, of you can exclude them with a polygon vegetation set to zero (maybe with a priority set to 10) you can exclude the polygon generating the trees with a ExclusionRectangle with the excludePolygon option
I hope you guys can come up with some solution. Will keep my fingers crossed as I am also annoyed by those large trees on the approach. Sending Zedesk ticket may work as well as Asobo corrects usually those kinds of issues when reported.
Can not help further atm,
You can try to enable Debug shapes in the Dev menu, (Will show any polygon with colorful outliner)
It Will also tell you what Is that package that generate the shapes
if an exclusionrectangle Is needed, Remember that It only works when compiled and placed in community (and are known to work poorly with exludeAll option, so avoid It)
If it’s bijian special trees, the 3d models, than you can use ExclusionRectangle with exclude Library objects
Look like a nice challenge,if don’t succed i Will give a try too
