Hello Chums....

...!

FS 2004. Autogen Trees.

For my tree sets I use Gerrish Grey's lovely Autogen tree sets for different seasons... http://www.simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Autogen+Trees&x=0&y=0
...but as a frequent flyer in the Southern States (California, etc,), I miss seeing the more common Tropical Palm Trees, etc, which are ever visible in the Coastal areas...(Los Angeles/Florida)

My present Trees are mainly "Northerly" Deciduous Trees, which rarely appear in those areas.

Any ideas where an alternative Autogen Tree Set can be obtained which contains the; "Tropical Trees" sets for different seasons?

Many thanks!

Paul...Bermuda Shorts, straw hat, and Shades!... Cool

I don't know about replacement files, but keep in mind that you would then probably see palm trees in some very odd places...

I would replace the most suitable set for the area I visit... Wink

They are easy to swap over in FS 2004.

We got 'em here, and yeah, in some odd places, like front yards.

All yours. One homeowner around the corner from me just two months ago planted 12, that's right, twelve, full size, tall, I mean, really really tall, whatever palms in his front yard. And did so in the middle of hurricane season. That's crazy. They're still propped up, until they root. I sure wouldn't want to live next door to that. A nice front yard ruined. And in toppling range of his house and the two on either side.

And there's 12 coconut palms across the street from me, but hard to see, thank you, and out of reach of anything should they topple. Hmm, haven't seen any coconuts on them either.

Oops, off topic am I? Sorry, terribly sorry, just having one of my Monty Python rants. Better stick to breaking my back playing Bach and Telemann while watching the telly, man.

The ~~Sky~~ Coconuts wont be falling on your head, Apex!

Its a bit of a shame that the Sim doesn't load the most suitable types of Trees automatically, for the area your are covering...

Pine and Spruce Trees for; "Up North", Deciduous Trees (the default) for the middle bit, and Palm Trees and Cacti for the warmer/hotter places, ....and just Penguins in Antarctica!

Paul...Chased by Tumbleweed!... Grin

P.S...do they have articulated Ants in Antarctica? ... Roll Eyes

I do see palm trees in the FS Miami area, looks like coco palms, I think their stock, but no pine trees.

Pines, here anyway, are an endangered specie, Hurricane Andrew took out a lot of them 20 years ago, then we had a pine beetle problem. Whatever pines are left are protected, you cannot cut them down, not even to clear a lot to build a house on, unless they are dead. Our pines have a life span of maybe 50 years.
