I know this is definetly not a priority just wondering if it would be possible program OR to have roads clear of forest regions similar how it works with tracks with the following line in the .trk

ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 15)

Thanks inadvance

Hi TSCraftsman,
here are the modified .exe and .dll files for the feature you request. Pls. check them, by replacing them in release x.3794 (Pls. spare me to find a route with trees on roads or to build a test route).
To enable the feature you must add following line below ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance ( 15):

ORTSUserPreferenceRemoveForestTreesFromRoads ( 1 )

It is not possible to remove trees only from roads and not from tracks.

Blueprint opened https://blueprints.l...rees-from-roads

20/2/2017: Attachment removed because feature implemented in x.3800 .

Dorset coast v6 between weymouth and bincombe tunnel( 1st tunnel ). I did notice this when the trees on track was fixed. However i didn't think it was relevant at the time as the former fix was a huge success!

Thanks

Just done a quick test on the area in Dorset coast V6. There were was quite a few trees on certain parts of the roads for the above area. With the modified exe and dll files, the trees are no longer present on any of the roads for that area.

Thanks

Thank you for having spared me the testing :)

How CPU intensive is this? Reason I ask... I have a large section of a route (20+ miles) which is pure forest, and had half considered placing forest objects programatically on the tiles vs. individual placements.

[Csantucci]

If you go back to the original thread where we spoke about removing trees from track I believe to remember there was some number. Of course it highly depends on the density of tracks, roads and forests within a single tile. Adding road checking to track checking should not increase too much the CPU load, because there usually are much less roads than tracks defined (especially in a forest).

In TSRE forest generation can be 10x slower if this option is enabled in really track dense tiles.
TSRE stats for 1 000 000 trees:
500 ms if "clear" disabled = 2 mln trees / s
6000 ms if "clear" enabled = 166 k trees / s

I'm curious about OR stats.

[Csantucci]

Yes, but the important thing is to know the percentage of forest generation vs. the whole OR computing time.

[Csantucci]

Uploaded in x.3800.

[Fablok]

Yesss :D Now Feather River route is clear of trees both roads and tracks :D Good work :)

[Csantucci]

Good!
Manual updated with description of this feature in x.3805.

[Csantucci]

In x.3814 a fix has been uploaded that avoids that forest trees are deleted also above tunnels, leaving a strip without vegetation above them.
The fix covers only tracks and not roads to spare computing time.
The fix compares the elevation of the track and the elevation of the tree. If the second one is higher than the first one plus 10 meters, the tree is not removed.
