The patch is broken here - there is some corruption in simgear.patch which causes the file to appear empty when it is read by the patch utility, or by Vi etc. Csaba provided me with a complete patched Simgear source (thanks) so I was able to compile and run fg. The trees look very nice, and, at least in the numbers I saw, have a minimal impact on frame rate (2-3). I would think that "on" could be the default mode.
