BIOMES AND VEGETATION
When creating add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 it is possible to generate your own unique biomes and vegetation which can then be used in The Scenery Editor (using Polygon Objects) to create areas with specific types of plants, as well as to change how more general regions are populated in the world. Currently this can only be done using XML Files which need to be added to a package to be used.
To properly create a biome, you will require two files, which should both be exported to a folder called "vegetation" in the final package. The first file will define one or more species of vegetation, and then the second file will define the biomes where that species can be found. To include this in a project you would use the Copy asset type in The Project Editor to copy the "vegetation" folder with the XML files in it from the "PackageSources" folder into the final package. You can find an example of how such a project should be setup here:
It is worth noting that files in the "vegetation" directory are parsed in lexicographic order, ie: those beginning with a number will be first (in incremental order) and then those beginning with a letter (in alphabetical order). On top of that, species files will be parsed before biome files.
Information on the XML used to create the required species and biome files can found on the following pages:
