I know it's late to come back to a minor issue like this, but I was flying last night and I think I've figured it out.

I play with 'Very Low' trees as a general rule (ground looks too flat without them, but much higher and it costs me framerate). However, if I load the game with 'very low' trees and start a mission, I get no trees at all, just the green patches on the ground (as with the 'trees off' setting). Changing the setting higher (low/medium/high/etc) does nothing in or out of mission.

If I set my trees to 'low' rather than very low, exit the game and start it up again, then enter a mission - I get my trees back. Switching from 'low' to 'very low' during that mission then does what it's meant to - number of trees rendered is visibly reduced.

So:

startup with 'very low' trees = no trees, no tree settings work
startup with 'low' trees = trees return, tree settings work as normal.

This is with both the last steam patch and the beta in this thread. Hope this helps the devs & pilots!
