I know its been brought up before but these "pop up" trees need to go....has to be the 4th day in a row I've dies running into a tree that doesnt even show up till I hit it (settings at default).
Whats so upsetting about the last one is the other guy flew THRU the tree's. If we've reached a point where I'm flying the game a disadvantage with the default settings then I think problems are coming. Either the trees show at default at a reasonable didtance or they need to go....

Hows it "gamey" to want to "see" a tree?....last time I checked ack was at known locations. Tracers on or off is a player option. Cloaking devices for trees seem to be standard equipment. Guys are running into them landing and taking off but at least you can "know" that they are there thru experience. Pardon me if I cant memorize the whole map...further its becoming routine for folks to "scrape" others of there 6 with trees....to me its gaming the game (something you know alot about :)) when you exploit a feature thats going to affect folks differently. For now anyone with highend equipment has a disticnt advantage down low or in GV's.

Please make a post in the bug forum of where/what map/type of vehicle you were in when you had this happen. It won't get fixed by just complaining about it without some clues for us to solve the problem.

The same goes for ack bud.
Unless you have your "sliders" set up to or near Max settings for detail its not visible until your right on top of it. Its one in the same and has to do with the way the game was designed.... These features that is. They are both game effecting objects. Meaning if you can't see ack, your at a disadvantage to the player who is in it. The same could be said for trees. You can't see it but the other pilot can. Thus giving the other pilot an advantage over you.
I have no problem seeing trees or ack. My system works fine with settins all at max detail. But for those who cannot set their sliders at max detail, I think its unfair for them....
Back in AH1, when you turned "ground clutter" off... Which was trees and the texture of the ground itself. There were only gains to be had... That being system performance. Now you turn the sliders down, sure you system runs faster but you can still run into a tree that you aren't seeing.
But ofcourse the fools out there think its a moot subject.
For those of you who see this topic as a whine, you need to take a closer look at the real issue. I say this only because I was called a whinner for asking that ack be made visible regardless of where and how you have your "sliders" set in the game. And I think for the trees it should be no different.

Whoops.....
Didnt realize it was considered a bug...my bad. I've got it on film, but when I look at it the trees are much clearer than they are in game?
I'll send you the clip if you want....

Sounds to me like another ignorant has joint the BB BS. I spent 2K about 2 years ago and another $250 on video card upgrades 3 months ago. Enough with the upgrade crap. If you know how to fix it let us know. Otherwise, . . . .

Morph....
My appologies for my reply, I took your reply totally the wrong way. I had no idea that ack detail issues were also there and that you were making a point regarding a seperate detail issue....
If we're at a point where the graphics engine requires objects to be omitted at default I think we have a problem...
Superfly....
Not trying to create an issue where we have a bug. I'll post a link to the film clip in appropriate forum tonight.

Has happened to me too. Now I make a point of not going down to tree level.
If someones is trying to use this to thier advantage don't play thier game. When they come up out of the trees and find you on thier high six they'll have a nice surprise!
