Burning Blue Design Releases Enhanced Global Vegetation for MSFS 2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
The addon reworks vegetation across all 848 MSFS 2024 ecoregions, adjusting 242 tree species, 34 plant types, 61 grass types, crops, and rocks. Changes include more varied tree heights, realistic scaling for smaller plants, pronounced local groupings, staggered seasonal growth (spring leaf growth, blossoms, autumn colors), and climate-appropriate urban vegetation. Regional variation is emphasized — Scandinavia gets boreal vegetation, Western Europe has broadleaf forests with noticeable seasons, and other areas (Pacific Northwest, tropics, deserts, tundra) are tailored accordingly. Priced at $14.80 USD.
Excerpt from Threshold
Burning Blue Design has released Enhanced Global Vegetation, a worldwide vegetation overhaul for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Burning Blue Design says its addon reworks vegetation across all 848 ecoregions in MSFS 2024.
This covers all types of forests, towns, wetlands, grasslands, deserts, plantations, alpine areas, and other environments worldwide.
Burning Blue Design says its team has adjusted how different vegetation types are generated and that the package contains 358 modified XML files, covering 242 tree species definitions, 34 plant types, 61 grass types, 7 crop species, and 8 rock types.
They say the addon should produce more varied tree heights and vegetation densities, with mature forest trees growing to greater heights where appropriate.
Meanwhile, shrubs, hedges, orchard trees, tundra vegetation, and other smaller plants have been scaled to more realistic sizes.
Dense forests and rainforests have been set to remain dense, while trees across tundra, steppe, deserts, alpine areas, and other open landscapes will be relatively sparse.
Burning Blue Design says trees can now form more pronounced local groups that stand out, rather than being evenly mixed throughout an area.
Everything from conifers, broadleaf species, palms and flowering trees to other vegetation will now appear in more concentrated patches, where appropriate.
The addon has also added staggered spring leaf growth, blossom periods, autumn colours, and transitions between seasons.
Urban vegetation has been adjusted according to climate, with different planting and density rules for temperate, tropical, Mediterranean, boreal, arid, coastal, and other environments.
Burning Blue Design has additionally included changes for wetlands and mangroves, deserts, tundras, savannas, agricultural areas, orchards, and plantations.
Crops are also now represented with several growth stages.
The developer says vegetation should vary considerably by region.
Scandinavia, for example, will be full of boreal vegetation, while Western Europe should have more broadleaf forests and more noticeable seasonal changes.
Other areas mentioned by Burning Blue are the Pacific Northwest, eastern North America, various tropical regions, deserts, tundra, and cities worldwide.
Enhanced Global Vegetation is now available for MSFS 2024, priced at $14.80 USD (£10.95).
