Ok I looked eveywhere but didnt find a solution to this.

If anyone here has also been to south america, you know the autgen buildings in FSX and some cities are simply ridiculous.

now, the easy fix if to get a good landclass product. I have both xclass and scenerytech for south america, and that improves landclass 100%, cities are the size theyre suppose to be, etc.

HOWEVER, they still use the defaul buildings. Those buildings looks like a square with like a plaza in them middle. Let me tell you, buildings in SA are not like that. Theyre normal buildings, just like big cities anywhere else in teh world.

So here i am, flying in sao paulo, the wolrds 3rd or 4th largest city, and theres rarely a "building" building, instead, we get these european like structures that are 1 to 2 floors high and just make the experience shiat.

so if anyone knows of a way to get normal buildings there, via addons, or tweaking, please let me know. i want a city to look like a city, not a humongous italian rural town. BTW, i will take some screenshots of the buildings to show what i mean and add it here later.

thanks for helping in advance

Check out the sticky at the top of this forum there is a tweek for autogen.
Not sure if this will help your problem. The only other way might be to use a exclude. 8-)

yea it doesnt help. i need to repalce the types of buildings in SA. theres gotta be some way to just use the landclass but assign different buildings.

The only thing that will change autogen is

1. Texture replacements which call different buildings

2. Autogen description changes

neither of which you can do very easy


Landclass files can change the look because they may use different textures however if the texture has autogen calls for those buildings you do not like then they will still continue to show


there is nothing you can do short of waiting for a texture replacement for SA that does not call those buildings

well oh well lol. i dont think there will be any ground shattering new stuff for SA in FSX, ill just have to contend. hopefully someone takes up some cities and airports and betters them, theres a lot for FS9, almost nothing for FSX as of yet. ill just keep flying usa, canada and europe

GEX will be doing SA as part of our Oceania release so yes, there will be on option next year

oh thats great news!!! does GEX actually mod the buildings too? I mean even as much as what type get displayed?

in other words, will it get rid of the italian plaza buildings lol?
