Trees have been added to many areas based on native trees. Many conifer trees that were placed in wrong areas have been removed and replaced with deciduous trees. Many of the very tall trees have been replaced with shorter ones.

Tropical areas will stay green all year long.
- All trees now have normal and natural size, depending on region. Some trees have been enlarged (mostly within cities to match real life trees. Some trees have been reduced in other places. This is done based on research and studying images from Google and Bing data. You will notice denser vegetation in most areas.
Spring:
Spring Season mod will change trees and shrubs to shades of beautiful spring colors within cities only. Forest and areas outside cities will have bright spring green colors only. You will find colorful trees such as cherry blossom, jacaranda, wisteria, etc. There are pink, purple, white, yellow colored trees.

Added a variety of tree types to each region.
Added missing palm trees in some tropical areas.
Added cactus to some of the desert areas.
Fall:
This mod will convert trees all over the world into fall season colors. Tropical areas will have less fall colors since they stay mostly green all year round.
This is a must have to bring the beauty of fall season into this amazing sim. All trees and shrubs have now beautiful brown, green, orange, yellow and red colors, depending on region.
Winter:
Winter Mod changes most trees to multiple brown and gray colors. (except conifer trees) Brown/gray trees look much more natural in winter and with snow instead of green trees with snow.
Most other trees and shrubs now have brown and pale green colors, depending on region.
Winter season does not automatically place snow in scenes. If you want to see snow, you will have to add snow manually in the weather setting or fly in an area in live weather to see snow. Bare winter trees are only placed in specific spots.

Hopefully Asobo will fix the LOD soon.

Feeling a little "Sail away, sail away, sail away"? " ok maybe that is not what Enya was singing about in Orinoco Flow but you get the vibe!
Crystal Airport is a private airport in Llano, California, nestled against the northern side of the San Gabriel Mountains. Home of the Southern California Soaring Academy Glider Flight School and a few private hangars. Boasting of a 4500 foot paved runway which has plenty of room for glider launches in a variety of means.
NOTAM: This is an early access release, updates in progress are listed below:
- Additional areas of detail for the California Aqueduct in the immediate area
- Port-A-Port Hangars and additional building details
Featuring several marked Points of Interest (POI) from the Soaring Academy's gloriously detailed on the "Favorite Sources of Lift" page described here: https://soaringacademy. org/soaring,
Including custom buildings and hangars, as well as a custom trapezoid wind indicator, we hope you enjoy this scenery as mush as we are.
In the wider area, this scenery also removes water from the Big Rock Wash and Little Rock Wash, which are arroyos. A detailed section of the California Aqueduct system should make the vicinity a bit more realistic. However it is not realistic for you to land in the aqueduct. . . . . this definitely is a feature of a Trespass VR scenery! Taking you behind the scenes and giving you the all access pass! The Icon A5 lands in the aqueduct nicely. . . Let us know if you manage to land the Hughes H-4 Hercules or another boat plane and tag us on Instagram!
