Sandinourcoffee6 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 On the new Bodenplatte map, will there be any new tree types modeled. or will it be the same set off tree types as we have now. i know this maybe bit boring for some people, but I am a bit off a tree buff, ? 2 2 1
Stoopy Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I'm guessing you're a fellow HS129 afficianado. Trees do make up a very large part of the flying experience for us. 9
Sandinourcoffee6 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 I never fly the HS-129, it’s just asking to hit some trees flying that thing ? I think it’s cliffs of Dover blitz, the tree damage profile you can hit the top off a tree and be ok,but if you hit lower down , things fly off your plane and crash is almost always fatal

Not to mention you can get real familiar like, with a tree, without being destroyed by it. Now for the serious business: are trees all that diverse, between Russia and NW europe? It should be mostly conifers, right? Other than the conifers from where I live, all pine trees are more or less the same. PS: our local, unique pine trees: https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucária 1

Sandinourcoffee6 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 I do not know but I think elm trees might have been quite widespread. ok they are rare now only a few hundred mature elm trees left in the uk ( Dutch elm disease) anyway a few more tree types in the new map would be quite nice too crash into I think !!?

There are still "a lot" of elms here, but they are going the way of the dodo. Dutch Elm ravaged them big time. Most of the elms we take down are a foot across or less. At that point most are dead or dying. We took down a huge one years ago, maybe five or six-feet across at the base, but elms that size are very rare now.
Sandinourcoffee6 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Yes they were a feature off the British countryside, we had a huge one near where I lived as a kid. in my part of England ( Norfolk ) only three are known to exist. such a shame as such a beautiful tree. they are making a come back I have read.

=FSB=Man-Yac Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 And will trees still be the biggest parachute predator? Lost a few pilots when my chute broke on top of some pine trees.. 1
ShamrockOneFive Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 One of the awesome things about the 1CGS map team is that they actually DO care about those kinds of details. I'm sure if there needs to be new trees, there will be new trees and they will be in the correct places on the map. 1 1

There used to be incredible numbers American Chestnut's where I live. Many old "log pen" barns in my area were constructed with the logs in the 19th century and are still standing. We had one such barn on our farm, and I remember once trying to drive a nail into one of the 120+ year old logs...NOPE. Its a shame what diseases can do to trees. The blight has killed all but maybe a few hundred where there use to be millions, and I'm afraid the Ash trees are next with the introduction of "emerald ash borer" (non-indigenous beetle).

Yep, there's another. I've done a lot of work with Ash in my time and I have this strange association in that whenever I actually smell cut Ash it reminds me of the smell of the top of our youngest's head when she was a baby (Don't ask me why because she's FAR from wooden and she has a child of her own these days!!}.

Sandinourcoffee6 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Yes trees are going too play a big part in the introduction off the me-262. why ( properly because most off the runways will be too short too take off from) ?☠️

Yes this year's rainfall and flooding has boomed the skeedo population. It's like the 90s all over again.
