Tree Planting in FS2004

[CAFedm]

Looking to add some trees to a scenery project in FS9. The only thing I've found that works well is adding trees from an addon library (namely, Agen_XTrees_lib9_2.zip) and placing them with Instant Scenery. One problem being that this library would have to be includeed along with the rest of the scenery when uploaded - providing permission is obtained from the originator this wouldn't be a huge problem, except for the fact that many may not wish to mess with adding additional libraries (I prefer to make it as easy as possible to install addons, as it isn't up everyone's alley). Wondering if there is something available that simply permits deliberate placing of default trees. Any leads welcome.

The only way that I know of to plant defualt trees is to add them with an autogen tool.  Default trees in FS9 are not library objects as such but are generated by the scenery engine.  It is very common for developers to advise users of the libraries that are needed for their scenery.  Generally I think that is a better approach rather than bundling all the libraries in the download.  With textures this can make a very large download and raises the opposite problem of users getting duplicated libraries on their system.

The tree library you refer to is created by Arno Gerretsen and is pretty commonly in use I would think.  So I would follow the usual route of advising users which libraries are used and where to get them if they do not have them

Thanks once again for the info.
