Montauk Scenery

Hi all
Happy Holidays and thanks to everyone who makes this such a great hobby. I have just downloaded and installed Montauk into the latest Prepar3D and while it looks absolutely great I have found several trees across the runway and taxiway. The installation as always is easy and straightforward so I can't think what I may have done incorrectly. I have no exotic global scenery, mesh or terrain and just some standard freeware add-on airports including the recent Block Island which looks very nice.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Warren, I found this to be a problem with other scenery I have done as well. Trees showing up where there are no trees placed. I place the trees using the SDK Annotator, so virtually every tree is hand placed and I pay special attention to trees along runways or taxiways because of the previous problems I've seen with other sceneries of mine. If you can post a pic of the offending trees I can try to move them in the annotator and send you a new set of "agn" files to place in your texture folder. If you have a working knowledge of ADE or SBX you can use "excludes" to knock them out.
 
Hi
Thanks for replying. Afraid I fail on both counts. Not sure how to attach a photo with this (fairly) new machine and I have only limited knowledge of ADE. I'll work on the photo part and see what I can do. The scenery including the trees is gorgeous but there will be some additional metal in one particular grove if I attempt to use the runway. I know it's not specific enough but if you leave the hangar and turn right the grove in question appears about 2/3 down the runway and taxiway - not sure of the runway numbering.
In any case for now thanks for all the great work and Happy Holidays!

Hi
Think I may have figured out this screenshot stuff.

Tree lined taxi way looks nice but not really enough clearance for my Pilatus (had a building crash after landing and taxiing back). Doh!

Excellent Warren. I may not get to it today, but I'm going to thin out the trees along the rwy and taxiways and post a new set of "agn" files. Hopefully that will correct the issue.

expat, I'm like you it seems, I also crank my autogen up to very dense and the trees are a problem for the larger aircraft so hopefully the replacement "agn" files will help.
