After a long wait, alpilotX have released their forest scenery for the eastern part of the United States (approximately up to 96N). Alber Laubi - their visual artist - has created a large set of new tree textures, and after that designed the assignment of those trees to all the forests (called forest definitions in X-Plane - from which there were 129 for the eastern part alone - for 14 different ecoregions).
The scenery itself is based on data from the MRLC Consortium, who released their new landcover dataset called NLCD 2001 earlier this year. It consists of very high resolution raster landcover information for the continental USA. This scenery release now "leaves out" all the features of the Global Scenery more accurately and respects not only roads, railroads, airports but also all the building objects (so no more trees growing through buildings). The download, a lot of screenshots, documentation and an FAQ (which they highly recommend to newcomers) can be found on alpilotX's homepage.
