Please consider removing trees in front of autogen airports

The tree planting algorithm sometimes goes a bit too far and places trees directly in front of the runway of autogenerated airports. With every world update, many airports are fixed manually but many are left as is. Ideally, a “zone of avoidance” in front of runways (both sides) is added on all airports. Thanks for considering it.

Hello @saschpe,
Please report this as a bug in #bugs-and-issues:airports

Before doing so, do a search for that airport code and trees as we don’t want a duplicate. Each location would need a separate bug report.

Thank you!

Uhm, that would generate a lot of bug reports. This is not about a particular one but about fixing the underlying algorithm. Autogen is able to place runways, wind mills and plenty of other things. I’d presume it won’t be hard to put a larger rectangular area around airports to avoid trees in the glideslope in general.

My 2 cents…

But they’re great for practicing over the fence landings :wink: In FSX Saba was an absolute beast.

They are there so you can come in at the right angle (?)
