It's simple enough to place objects along a linear feature (like a road): http://www.stockill.net/Junk/newscenery/fgfs-screen-008.png (It's some older scenery which didn't actually include the road, but you get the idea). I'd rather we didn't spend too much time adding features to textures which will clash with "real" data. > I've already managed to use a second texture to mask where trees are > placed.
