This mod improves and/or removes vegetation on volcanos around the globe.
Now, not all volcanos ;). Only the ones I have improved so far. See the list below.
The improvements vary a lot. In some cases there is a huge improvement, in others rather minor changes.
Often it's the removal of trees that should not be there and also often turning huge trees into scrubs and bushes.
Unfortunately, the terrain data and satellite imagery is horrendous in many areas of the world. So there are lot’s of places I would like work on but there is simply no point with bad terrain resolution and often the lack of decent satellite imagery.
HOWEVER: If you find cool volcanos that have rather decent terrain data and good satellite imagery, but wrong trees (often way to many trees), then please send me name and coordinates of the volcano and I will try (no promises) to add it in a future version of this mod.

Hello Theo
Thank you for your excellent work which looks like the reality.
If I may, could you "work" on the volcanoes located in Vanuatu because by default in MSFS, it looks like nothing.
Thanking you very much

Thank you. I think I checked many of them already, I think most of them have really really bad satellite imagery and terrain, so that is something I can not fix :/
But I check them out, maybe it got better with the Oceania Update.

This is an excellent idea. It's been said that if the earth was represented by an exercise ball 25 inches in diameter, the continental crust would be represented by the thickness of 11 pages of printer paper. The oceanic crust, just 2 pieces.

Portugal Islands ! Azores for example, have " Pico " mountain !! ICAO: LPPI

I can look at it, but I have check them before and from what I remember, the DEM and satellite imagery is very bad there. But I'll have a look

Hi, do you think it would be possible for you to remove all the trees in Greenland also, as there are no trees at all in real Life, please??
Very nice job on the Feroe island, very much appreciated. And stunning results on the volcanoes, worldwide, too !

Hello!
Thank you for this, I was wondering if you know if this mod is compatible with bijan's seasons mod?
1 years ago
I think so. I can't test that, but probably yes, my mod does mainly just remove trees, are sometimes add some, and from what I have heard from other users, that is usually not a problem with Bijans Seasons.

great work. what about Hawaii (Kilauea & Mauna Loa), Tonga ( hunga tonga hunga haʻapai) and mexico city (Popocatépetl), New Zealand (white island Whaakari) ?
1 years ago
Added! However, White Island Whaakari has no satellite images :/, Tonga is also not good. But Popocatépetl (Mexico City) and Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii are done now :)

Thank you, nice sugestions!
I added them. Especially Bolivia looks really nice. However, in some other areas, like Kongo and Kenya, the satellite images are really bad. So, those areas need a fix from Asobo one day :)
Hope you fix your rating for my mod now ;))

any reason why Mt. Fuji in Japan didn't make it on the list?
2 years ago
There is a lot still missing ;). But in terms of Fuji: Does it actually have missplaced trees? It's been a while since I checked it out but I thought it was rather correct. Or not? Feel free to send me a message with screenshots of the parts that are wrong.
But from what I saw, Fuji had no wrong trees on top or on the sides like many of thouse who I fixed with this mod.

Thank you for your work.
Could it be possible to have Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma (GCLA)?
THX!

Thank you. I will check it out. But the terrain data is not very good there... I'll have to see if it's worth it. Maybe we need a worldupdate for this area first ^^

this is EXCELLENT. I don't know why ASOBO never thought about such detail importance, when they say/write that they wanted to make the world look as accurate as possible. I understand for buildings, it isn't that easy, but for treeline on mountains /volcanos, they could have paid attention.
Thanks a lot for that !!!!
Would you be able to remove all the trees of Greenland,Iceland and the Faeroe islands too ?? it's plenty of them in the sim, whilst irl there is absoltutely no trees on these islands, at all
2 years ago
Thank you! :).
Are there no trees at all on Faeroe?
Maybe I can look into that... but changing whole countries is tricky. First of all it's a lot of work, but it's not just that, it's also rather hard to do in the SDK because when you zoom out too much to see a whole country, the polygon tool does not really work anymore it seems. And there is also clipping, meaning when you zoom out too much, you can't see the world anymore ^^. Therefore you would have to "fly" in the SDK rather low to draw the polygons... and that would take forever. At least in most countries.
Also: removing trees completely in whole countries might still not be ideal if the satellite images are not very very good.
So sometimes it's better to just shrink the trees into bushes rather than trees.
But the workload would be the same as removing them.
But we will see. I will look into Faeroe Islands. They seem doable.
But over all, for the moment I want to focus on volcanoes.
If you know volcanoes that have good terrain data and also good satellite imagery, let me know.
At the moment I want to focus on thouse (valcano) places that look good enough to be worth flying to.
