      Removed exclusions per the bug report. The golf course (and trees) are back. The exclusion along the taxiway for the airport villas along the west fence is still in place. The choice was trees on the taxiway where people are building houses with hangars in the RW, or wipe out the houses of the non-pilot community outside the airport fence.
