Some of the them I'm rolling by pushing down the Shift key and rotating them in Surveyor to either tilt them or lay them down. Most of them didn't have the rotate range in the Config file, so I'd add this in:Are you rolling the trees to lay them down?
Which rmm's? There are so damn many lol..Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it !
Always a lot of downed trees along the wooded areas and some wild flowers here and there. In this region you get the purple fire weeds close to water and boggy spots.
Also putting the lighter colored shrubs / dead grass types closer to the track and go darker the deeper in the trees you get.![]()

Thank you !
Give me a few hours......days.......years.......and I'll list them. LOL....Which rmm's? There are so damn many lol..
Here we go:Give me a few hours......days.......years.......and I'll list them. LOL....
Hang on ...and I'll get you a list of the tree type's.
lol I meant more the actual asset names but, thanksHere we go:
Alder, Ash, Aspen, Basswood, Beech, Birch, Box elder, Cedar, Chestnut. Cyprus, Elm, Gum, Hazel, Hemlock, Laurel, Lilac, Maple, Oak, Pines, Popular, Spruce, Sycamore, Walnut, Willows, and various weeds (Kust) and wild flowers.
What's used depends on what's most abundant in the area I'm modeling and varies from county to county. I have a list of all the various types of vegetation and what the type environment they're found in, if anybody wants to see it.
You've probably seen the translation sheet that's been posted of the vegetation names from Russian to English, but if not , I'll post it here.
Deep Shadows look really good.The first pic is a night shot with the Gamma lighting adjusted from a different part of the route.....about 15 miles or so north. The 2nd is the patch of woods entering the Utica Marsh from the south end. Maybe a " show me your swamp" thread would be more popular. ....We'll see.![]()

Thanks, the gamma adjustment on the monitor helps to get that full moon type lighting effect for night runs. I wish it could still be adjusted in the software itself instead of having to do it this way.Deep Shadows look really good.

How To Change Windows 11/10 Gamma Settings
Calibration should be the first thing you do when you buy a new monitor. Adjusting your basic settings can improve the color accuracy and overall viewing experience. And, if you’re [...]helpdeskgeek.com
I'm keeping the framerates smooth going through the wooded areas. Since I have a low end PC by today's standards, the performance has to be good. How that's being done is by mixing in trees that have very few triangles and other factors that would effect the frame rates. In this pic below from "Asset Island" are tree called "baum" on the dls and the author is "niffi". This is just one example of bill board type trees that are easy on the frame rates. I've edited these to make them darker, changed the main pic in the files on some from pics of the actual trees I've found, and for some of them, I thinned out the trunk and branches to make them real skinny.@JimDep, have you tested framerates going through forest as dense as this seems to be - ie. normal and natural? This looks so real compared to what we usually see that I'm curious what the effect on performance might be.
Thanks for sharing the gamma info. I'll take a close look at it shortly. I'm a mental midget when it comes to this, so within the last year, I found a night setting I liked out of pure trial and error of adjusting the gamma along with the brightness of the screen. I found a combo that works for me, but that might just be for this SONY TV screen used for my monitor. I have no way of knowing how this would work on another screen.Jim,
I've never delved into Gamma before that I can remember, so I looked this up on Web, going to give it a shot and see what happens.
I am Neophyte on this one. Learn something new everyday. Thank you for sharing Sir.![]()
