!! ATTENTION !!
Unfortunately the sim update 1.15.7.0 has rendered my vegetation draw distance fix mod completely useless. I ran tests without any tree mod as well as with the 40-55 and 75-100 packages, and there is absolutely no difference from the default vegetation draw distance. I’m very unhappy about that because now even though the distance has been increased slightly by default, it is significantly reduced even from the 40-55 mod working with the previous version, not to mention the pre-1.14.5.0 versions. I don’t see any way of increasing this distance other than increasing the LOD in the config file, but that is being done at the expense of performance and not all of us can afford that.
For anyone interested in learning about increasing the LOD in the config file, please do a search in the official forums at forums.flightsimulator.com
I will keep this mod active for a while with the very slim hope that maybe Asobo/Microsoft will give us back the control in a future update, but in all honesty I won't be holding my breath.
For anyone still willing to download this mod, pelase follow the installation instructions in the readme file inside the package.
Please be aware that the screen shots are from sim version 1.14.6.0, and they don't reflect the reality in sim version 1.15.7.0.
This package is freware and it is prohibited to sell it or incorporate it in any commercial product.

I think SU4 broke this mod. I get no extended tree distance anymore with the mod installed post-SU4.

Hello, it was sim update 1.15.7.0 the one that broke this mod. I will remove it shortly.

If you have this mod installed already before the 1.14.6.0 update, just make sure to:
- remove this mod from the "Community" folder
- run MSFS
- take a flight and exit MSFS
- reinstall this mod into the "Community" folder.
(Otherwise, this mod won't work)
If you're a first time user of this mod, you can simply install this mod.

I cannot even begin to understand why they have purposefully disabled what was a fix, albeit a bit of a “hack”, when it did nothing but improve visuals, with almost no performance hit.
Or maybe we just need to wait for xplane and google to hook up ????

I was under the impression tree draw distance was mostly controlled by the trees quality setting, from what I could gather terrain LOD affected the quality of surrounding scenery more than it affected trees.
