I just discovered, Terraflora is now out and waiting for us at the Turbulentsdesign.co.uk!
 
Interesting! Thanks for the h/u. I'd also like to know how it compares to ORBX-trees, which I have.


Cheers,
Mark
 
I think you will find that Russell White who did these trees also was or is an Orbx scenery designer.

Cheers Chris
 
ORBX FTX Global Trees were done by Scott Armstrong.

The Terra Flora trees by Russ White have a different appearance than the ORBX FTX Global Trees, but I think it will come down to artistic preference. I can't say anything regarding performance with the new TF set, it is hard to benchmark, but FPS appear to be very stable and smooth after a brief evaluation.

I have both. I also have my own autogen WIP installed.

I like the idea of having choices, so being able to switch things up is appealing. IMO

Gordon,

No compatibility issues with Orbx Global or the regions?

Thanks

I've only got a few hours in the seat with the trees, but I don't see any issues...so far. If something pops up, I'll bump the thread. I don't anticipate any problems though. Russ White is an accomplished dev.

Thanks, will probably go ahead and get the package. Really liking the look in the different parts of the world.
 
I have done some short test flights in Costa Rica, Spain, England, France and Alaska with ORBX sceneries but with out their HD trees. I have not noticed any impact on the frames. They are an improvement, not a huge one, but enough for that money. I like it when the trees in different countries truly are different! I don't think I have wasted any money.
 
Greg Jones from Turbulent is in an active thread at Avsim. Doing a nice job explaining the technical aspects of the product including how it works, the limitations and uninstalling. Turning into a sure buy for me.
 
No ground textures that I can see at this piont . As you probably know Drzewiecki designs have a freeware grass
 
I am a sucker for world enhancements and purchased a copy, will post some screenshots later this weekend.
 
Saw in a YouTube video that TerraFlora did not change trees in the full FTX regions, can anybody confirm this?
