Is there a way to remove trees on a map?

[DN308]

I designed a mission with the need to place airfields on the map historically existing but not designed on the map.

my problem is that there are some trees on the place I want my runway.

is there a way to remove them from the map or only devs can do that?

Yes to both. They had their chainsaws out on the last patch. You would have to make a good case for having the trees removed though.

So I have to contact @Jason_Williams to make some forests removed where some airfields were in Holland from 1941 until the end of the war

Or get the attention of one of the Devs by bribing them. Send a PM and get their Paypal addresses. ?

 

I'm not sure who is in charge of map editing. The trees they have been chopping down have mostly been at the end of runways. It doesn't really qualify as a bug, but doing a bug report might help. They just added some new airfields, so that either means it is an ongoing thing or they are totally done and you are SOL. With the new map for BoN being put together, I would guess the latter is more likely.

Ok, i will tempt my luck with the bug report.

The BoBP is a great map. We can do a lot of things with it, But there are still somethings missing. Airfields, shipyards, roads, etc.

 

The focus on inland, mainly the Bulge and the Rheinland makes the coast and the bomb campaign or allied air operations during the 1942-1945 not impossible but really difficult.

Trees are one big thing in the pursue of "realism"  to my point of view. They cannot be destroyed by bombs, they do not burn, they are completely invulnerable.

I would like to have a TreesFire effect besides CityFire.

It is absolutely unrealistic when buildings are completely destroyed by powerful bombs and on fire and all the trees a few meters around in perfect shape.

At least take away the trees when they are covered by a ground object like craters.

This said I suppose that it is all dependent on how the trees and vegetation in general are generated on the map, and how one can create ingame as the simulator runs patches where trees and vegetation cannot be generated. Nothing impossible but dev resources to do it.

Let's hope we get this kind of improvement over time.

And we need a  modded Ju52 (and flyable C47?) with water tanks to extinguish (any) fire ...:

 

I skinned one already:
