A Pictorial Guide to Autogen Objects Applies to: Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP1 SDK Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2 SDK Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration Pack SDK Microsoft ESP SDK This is a reference document to be used in conjunction with the Autogen Annotator tool as provided in the above products.
Vegetation Vegetation is defined in the AutogenDescriptions.xml file. Because of the great variability in vegetation types in the Regionalizations category, only the Groupings category is illustrated here. To see the contents of vegetation in the Regionalizations category, expand the tree type for more details. When an image displays the text Nothing it means that no 3D objects are added to the terrain texture. Abbreviations: ag - Autogen p - palms RF - rain forest tb - trees broadleaf tc - trees conifer

Buildings These images of buildings show a sample of those used by the autogen system. Building models and textures will vary according to the different regions. The principal difference between building types is due to variations in the shape and material of the roofs the most obvious feature of many buildings from the air.
