HawkEagle reported issue XSG-11401: Tall trees on approach ends... in reference to scenery pack 63954 on February 6, 2021 3:34 AM
Closed

There are tall trees on approach ends that can't be removed for some reason. Should be bushes not trees.

    I checked out the airport in XPlane and the report has merit. However the trees are not so tall as to obstruct the approach, the runway has displaced thresholds on both ends, this enables aircraft to clear the obstacles on approach.

    The trees along the road on approach to 19 can´t be removed with exclusion zones because they are part of the road - we could suppress the road, but I think it is an important feature of the whole scene.

    Ok. Well if the road can't be re-done with the proper bushes in place of the trees I'll just say thanks and fly through them for a more realistic approach to the short runway.

    Not sure how realistic an approach is that aims to land short of a displaced threshold 😉

    They usually displace thresholds for a reason, but this is not the place to discuss legalities or piloting technique.

    If it absolutely bothers you that the trees have not the correct height, just alter the airport in WED (or ask for help on a forum) and remove the road, then export the airport to your own installation. Takes only a few minutes.

    I already tried it and the approach is great but looks most normal with the road reference displayed. Thanks again.

    If you shoot me an email (@freenet.de" class="external-link" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JanVogel@freenet.de) I will alter the airport in WED, replicate the road with a pavement and place some smallish trees (to emulate bushes) and send it to you!

    That's what I wanted you to do to address this bug report in the first place. If you can fix this, you should do so not just for me but for platform as a whole. Clearing the tall trees on 19 approach, makes a realistic approach impossible. I did try to fix it but was unable to remove the trees because they are locked, part of the road and "can't be removed for some reason." Thank you for you assistance in this matter, the community will appreciate it.

    Alright, you persuaded me!

    Replaced autogen road with custom made one - trees blocking approach are gone.
