Flatten an area

[Deacon352nd]

Is there any way to flatten an area on any of the maps so that an additional self made airfield can be inserted. On the most NorthWestern portion of the Kuban map in the 2D view you have a very large area that is unpopulated on which additional airfields can be built by mission builders. All that needs to be done is to flatten areas for runways. 

If that becomes possible then any map could have an area flattened for a mission builder to add his own self made airfield. 

So can the flattening be done?

Even if only one area could be done then why couldn't it be made as a group and inserted wherever you want it.

Not exactly sure what you mean by flattening. If you mean actually changing the terrain mesh to make hills and slopes flat, then no, that cant be done. But, if you want to add new landing strips onto parts of the map that are already flat and have no obstacles, then yes, its possible..to an extent

I've found some areas in that portion of the Kuban map mentioned that have altitudes varying between 6-7.5 meters. If these could be made level to all the same altitude, then an airfield could be placed there. 

With the varying altitude trying to take off bounces planes too much that you get prop strikes at least. 

With that thought of "leveling" then any area on any map that has a small variation could be made to accept a runway. 

That is what I wish could be achieved.   

Is that possible and how could it be done?

no I dont think thats possible, or at least I have no idea how to do it. There is a mesh editing menu in the mission editor, but its greyed out so I dont think we have access to that functionality

You can't make any changes to a heightmap and have it load up in-game.

Maybe you know what might be done to remove marshy terrain of Arras map, so plane could land and take off from any flat terrain without problem of wheels   stuck in the ground ?

I don't even have FC so I can't test anything.

Thanks, just thinking if map  can be  opened  in the editor and you can join FC multiplayer but can't choose ww1 but can be gunner but if you put  ww2 plane you can fly  and access it thorow hosted multiplayer dogfight mission  on own computer. 

Just thinking, it too much hassle and might not work.

Playing the map in online mode doesn't really help with trying to mod it.
