Smooth the damn thing out. I landed the f16...hit a rough spot and enjoyed dying with a bunch of flips and booms. Seriously, I get it its and abandon Airstrip, Wonderful, but at what point in time does a once smooth surface deteriorate in to such a horrible conditions, Erosion is real, but not that drastic. I also noticed the Taxi way was damaging my jet as I moved towards the runway.

The Airstrip on Silent Eagle is ridiculously unrealistic, Do something about it. Please.

I don't see why you have a problem landing unless you cannot fly properly. I land on the runway in the middle, not in the trees or upside down.

No - I can land find, I've done it plenty of times, its just the very end will kill your jet.

It's because the map maker was high and was like "LOL LETS PUT TREEZ LOLOLL"


But seriously, Change it. In real life they wouldn't use an airstrip filled with trees to launch jets from.

Exactly. If there were that many trees, they just wouldn't fly from it. End of.

Same goes for the potholes on the taxiways.

I can land find too :P

Army or Air force engineers would clear the shit off the runways before a jet would land there. The Air force wouldn't be stupid enough to land a jet on a runway in that condition. Would it be to much to ask to have the trees laying on the runway removed the trees by the side don't bother me just the dead wood strewn about on the runway.

Yes I agree, no one of the right mind would land on an airstrip full of things that could cause your plane to get caught up in something and crash.

NEW KIT - Gardener
What it does?

Cuts down Trees and bushes and then smooths out the United States Runway!

The Jets wouldn't even be taking off from the runway, rather from a established airbase a few hundred miles away, but we can't model that can we?

I don't see how the runway could have had trees on it, as it was probably paved when it was in use (theoretically). So at least clear it, and keep the abandoned effect with a few, indirect potholes and pretty much texture the runway with a sand effect.

even if the runway did somehow grow trees, the jets don't spawn for 17 minutes anyway so how about 17 mins into the game, the trees disappear simulating soldier cutting the branches over a period of time. Or maybe just remove the trees altogether and make everyone hapy :)

edit: how do trees grow on a runway anyways unless someone dug a hole in it and planted atree. Grass might grow through the cracks of the runway but trees?

Too bad the combat engi kit didn't have a "cut tree" or "fill pothole" function.

Yes, trees. Plants routinely force their way through pavement, concrete and other materials.
the ground heaves as it freezes and thaws, creating cracks in the tarmac. All it takes is a tiny crack for seeds to start.

what about no trees or bushes at all this would take too much effort an wouldint really do anything to improve the game
