This add-on aims to correct the autogen trees in the Lake District national park. The AI autogen has misinterpreted all kinds of rocky crags, shadows and patches of heather/bush as full sized trees, leading to a rather unrealistic amount of tree vegetation up on the high ground of The Lakes. There are also a few rogue autogen buildings where there shouldn't be. I've been round and cleaned this up, the bulk of the tree removal is complete but I'll refine it over time if there are any missed patches. Let me know in the comments if you find big clusters of trees where they shouldn't be, or any patches where I've been over-zealous with my deforestation. This has not been tested with the 3rd-party Orbx British Isles Mesh terrain since I don't own it.
I've attached a map showing the areas I've covered. This is most of the high ground where there were excessive trees.
This may also expand to include more minor scenery fixes in the Lake District. So far it includes:
- Removal of excessively tall wind turbines at Kirkstone Pass Inn. The real turbines there are very small, it looks better not to include any.
- Parked cars at Kirkstone Pass Inn.
- Churches (generic Asobo model) in Keswick and Ambleside
- Boats, piers and pontoons around Windermere (work-in-progress). This is fully compatible with the excellent Mamudesign Marinas scenery, my hand-placed boats and piers will take priority over the Mamudesign ones, wherever there is any overlap.
Drop any other suggestions in the comments and I'll consider them!

Great work! Any chance you can add some of the north pennies in? Near Dufton to sort out High cup nick and the Cross Fell area out? It's covered with trees/bushes needs clearing up.

Fantastic work, really makes a big difference when flying in the area. Would love to see the Mach Loop (Wales/Snowdonia area etc) given some love if you are continuing the project!
Flak author
Thanks! I've seen a few requests for the Mach Loop. I'm haven't yet checked a map to see what the extent of the Mach Loop is, but does this Snowdonia add-on cover it? https://flightsim.to/file/4221/snowdonia-deforestation
Or does the Mach Loop extend outside that area?

Great stuff- good to see naked hills. Any chance of doing the same thing with the forest on Kinder Scout ?

Thanks - yes I might have a crack at the Peak District next!

does this effect the mach loop?
Flak author
The Mach Loop is in Wales so isn't covered by this particular scenery add-on. However fast jets do also use the Lake District for low altitude exercises, those areas are covered here.

Thanks a lot, this really improves the Lake District experience, what with yours and Craigr Yorkshire Dales the North of England is a lot more realistic.

Hi ! Will this work beside REX AccuSeason ?
Flak author
I don't own REX Accuseason but I think it should work OK, based on my understanding of what REX Accuseason does.

Very nice. 😊
Thank you very much. That seems to be a problem in all mountainous areas. Are you planning on a similar mod for Snowdonia as well?
