The autogen on steriods problem shows when they get down to low levels.
Hope Anthony comes up with a good soloution! I've just turned autogen off
completey until then........

Have now installed GE and have spent a couple of hours flying in various
locations in UK and US. I have Autogen normally set on the max (ext dense)
and I have not had to reduce it at all. Infact, although the autogen is laid
out more neatly and one or two anomalies (houses and trees across taxiways
for example) have been corrected I do not find that there is an
over-abundance of it. Also, it is nice to see that a textures expert
realises that the UK still has a fair amount of green in the winter!

On performance, I have seen an improvement. I put this down to some freeware
textures that I had for Europe and the US which I now believe caused a frame
rate hit and some stuttering, which has now largely gone. So, all in all I
am very pleased.

Must go. I am on hospital radio this evening! :0))

See post "GE glitch", or goto

The autogen floods the scenery with high rise building in many situations,
apparently not all, also dependant on your autogen setting. I did run it on
max, now it's min. I was getting high rises along river banks in rural
Arkansas! Not just single random buildings, but in clusters bigger than
most small/medium towns in Arkansas!
I noticed in Dr Davids examples it was also in abundance, prompting comments
from some (in those threads) like - "there aren't that many high rises is
all of Sydney!", etc............ However, as I've noted, the textures
themselves are great, it's just the autogen that goes crazy..

when you take the Billings flight, drop down into KCOD, and KTHP and get
pics along the way. and you can go from there, down to BOY VOR and cross
over back to Jackson
Taint that much further out of the way.
At that point when you get to THP, you are where I am at.

I don't know which roads package you're using, Peter, but give them
another try. I use GE in combination with Ultimate Terrain roads and
I'm very pleased with the results: see
http://static.flickr.com/40/105236469_46098df322_o.jpg. (I wish I could
remember which city this is -- my logbook for that day says "KSFO -
KPDX," so it's probably somewhere inbetween.)

If anyone has trouble with the link I just posted, try chopping off the
.. at the very end -- it shouldn't have been picked up as part of the
URL.
