Now, I am admittedly not a map-maker. I know nothing about it.

Bearing that in mind, how hard can it be to go back when you're done with a map and prune the trees back from the end of the runways some reasonable distance like 1 or 2k? Surely they had some guidline for this in our era of operation? Trees's must be cleared x number of miles or yards on all final approaches?

I'm just tired of smacking a tree one or two hundred yards off the end of a runway with a 5+kill sortie.

Rant off.

Skuzzy said in another post related to this to remember map, and feild # so he could correct it.

Post the terrain name, and the field in the bug forums. Happy to take a look. It is important to post the terrain it is happening on and the field number. Thanks.

Maybe they could just modle a dozer into the game for us.

So... you have the skill and precision to manuever yourself into position to get 5+ kills per sorties, yet a stationary tree is what does you in?

lol... I know what you mean, Sundiver. I make a conscious effort on my terrains to clear the approaches, but you can't always get all of them. But still... sometimes I just have to scratch my head. IRL there are trees at ends of some runways, and ultimately, a pilot is responsible for his aircraft.

Not the gardener.

rather than a dozer, perhaps it's time for AH to create trees that can be removed by HE...sort of like real trees!

No more hiding, Tank Dweebs!

he must be taking a whiz while in auto-landing mode to smack a tree

Keep the trees. I can't get the hang of flaps & need something to slow me down on final.

A SAW probably won't take down a tree. But a Bushmaster, or an M2HB probably would...

Could we perk Bulldozers and do it ourselves?Just asking.

Geez, the runways aren't long enough? I've rarely seen anyone use more than half the runway to land....who says you need to use the first half?

LOL, now this I will give you. Just a booger when trying to land a shotup plane. Normally I take a much higher glide angle to begin with the Yaks can take a hard landing. Although I have run into trees more than once trying to lift Lancs off. Even with a 1/4 tank.

Try a 47N fully fueled and with the 2500 egg load w rockets.You will appreciate that extra 100 yds:aok
