Has anyone else noticed that you get pine trees for the Bahamas and the
Caribbean?

Gosh, I've had about 10 vacations down there, not to mention I lived there
for 3 years... and I don't recall seeing too many pine trees.

I'm sick of it at last. Is there a way to change vegetation classes for
tropical forests?

Yep, saw it while I was buzzing around the Bahamas last weekend. I wasn't
happy, but was afraid that I had done something on my system. Glad to hear
it's not me, but still just as unhappy with the trees.

Hey Dallas.. here's the only FS9 spring tree BMP that could be found
using a search, reduced from 1024x to 400x, and output as a `preview'
JPG described in an earlier post:

It must be the scenery file that needs editing. Have no experience in
such design. Maybe one of the others can help out. So there's my
2-cents worth!

They're probably discarded Christmas trees.

I'm the one with glasses that needs a shave. The problem was
either too many posts, incorrect posts, or topics relating to FD.

Seriously, I don't get it... what's the problem with the picture?

Yep.. am starting to wear eyeglasses down on the nose more.
Was thinking of getting some spectacles made specifically for
`monitor distance'.. which is at outstretched arms' length with
fingers bent inward at 2nd knuckle.

These glasses are over-prescribed and objects appear smaller.

Oh yes.. another item.. if you have some 2cm cabinet plywood..
perhaps make some monitor stands such that the centre of screen
is directly at eye level. Added benefit is.. a `storage hanger' will
be formed underneath!! Did you see pic of `montior hangers'?

Good lord - I'd be in deep trouble without my "PC Rx" glasses! Main lens is
the same as the meduim range on trifocals, or in my case ~30" (~75cm) so I
can rock back in the chair and still "read the mail", and normal bifocal for
up close & personal stuff..... Also indispensable on the work bench!!

Cheers'n Beers.. [_])

Only when you drink too many Bahama Mamas!
