What Trees Should I Use?

[bigboy4010]

Currently on my railroad, I'm working on area that is practically open fields with very little to them at the moment. I don't want it to be pure grass because I know that would terrible possibly even for people with highend computers. So what i want to do is put clumps and groups of some kind of tree in. My question is what kind of trees grow like that besides aspens, pines, and firs in real life? I'm more focused in an alpine region type tree, or something you would find in the mountains where it rains regularly. Many thanks to anyone with suggestions.

Are you talking TS2009 or something else?

Watch Out

Some of the grass's kill your frame rates. Also dence high poly trees may do the same.

If you create in TS2009 there is a tool that shows the frame rate killers. You can still set the version number to 2.4 for a layout.

That's why I'm looking for trees to take up some space. Less of a frame-rate killer. John, I don't have 2009, so unfortunately I can't use any of those features. I'm looking for stuff in 2004 and 2006.

Look at DMDrake's website (http://www.ttbwrr.com/) - near the bottom of the page is a section on tutorials that talks about different forest types and what trees are in each.
