Please clear up for me all the trees in the objects files created by him--MR Trees, LW trees, lw_tree_library, etc.. Are they all different or has one replaced the other?

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

They are not all the same
Hi Highpockets,
there's a difference. Lindsay released 4 tree libraries, if my memory serves me right. The last one was released through his website, which he called "Pro" or "high res".
The difference consists in their framerate performance, which becomes progressively heavier with every new release. While it is true that I still run CFS2 on a 10-year old pc, when you fly escort in one of those airport-busting missions with various objects on the ground, AI bombers and AI foes attacking them, you and your flight defending the bombers, AA in the air plus explosions on the ground, let alone if some of the aircrafts involved are not multi-res, I discovered a while ago that those trees in the scenery do make a lot of difference!!
When I do GSL work I only use his earlier tree lib, the one released by Mask Rider with his early PTO sceneries. Those trees are still nice-looking from altitude, even at close distance, yet they slow down animation very little. Although I downloaded Lindsay's latest "hi-res" tree library for my CFS2 addon collection, given my previous experiences, I never attempted to install it.
Cheers!

Thanks for the input. I am aware of the two resolutions in LW trees and am using the higher one. Not sure how much it affects my sim. I have a dual core 2.4 GHZ with 2GB ram and a NVidia GeForce 6600. Now I will know what to look for in some of my missions as I fly.
