I was flying near the town of Baker California which is in the Mohave desert. Which should be filled with Joshua tree cactus. In the sim it is barron.
My question is how does one go about filing it in?
Hi @meh1951
Here’s a few details, and then some screenshots. I’ve got all my graphics and other options maxed out, so this is about the most you’re going to see.
Joshua Tree National Park is ~792,000 acres, and there are ~872,000 Joshua trees in the park. Even adjusting for terrain, that isn’t well suited for them, you’re not going to see “forests” of those in the park. (P.S. they’re not a cacti, but that’s a different point! 
they’re a bit complicated.)
So here’s a shot from 1700MSL, and although it is pretty barren up there, the vegetation doesn’t show up well, so that’s one issue.
But even when you zoom in, the vegetation isn’t Joshua trees, nor is it even the Mojave Yucca. So it appears they’ve got the wrong vegetation labeled as “Joshua trees” in their terrain-building kit, or they just don’t have one for that plant, or they’re so scattered out in the growth they do in the sim that it’s hard to find Joshua’s among whatever plants they put there.
And as far as I can tell, the only way to change that would have to be tied to either MS/Asobo making a change, or if they open the World Hub to things other than airports in the future so feature makers (they walk amongst us in the forum! Not me!!) could fix that issue if the devs have/build that particular plant and put it in the feature set.
Sorry for the long post!
Regards
