Game on the shelf for me at the moment its beyond fixing IMHO.

Leaves you more time for the forum then!

Couldn't they plant a very occasional "hard tree" in the decoration trees - would still save CPU ressources but if you can't see which one is hard and which one isn't, you would damn well stay out of their way.

Just been flying on the Repka full real server (nice server), when this happened...
I had just taken of in my spit 1a and just after the sound cut out (no that's not this problem ) i get bounced by a 109 flown by a guy called "BERLIN" he gets hits on my right wing before i can get out the way.
He flys past and dives...i half roll and im after him, just as im about to fire he dives down to ground level and starts flying through the trees! i cant believe someone would do that, i pull off as i cant bring myself to cheat as well.
So i ask him why hes flying through the trees to escape?
He says on chat its a "tactic" and not cheating! and he always does it, its his "escape tactic"!!
This is about the 3rd person ive seen doing this...but i guess that's what you get, if the trees cant hurt you.

I guess its a mindset, i don't think flying through trees is realistic so i don't do it. i guess others feel different.

Why you call it cheating? If the game allow to fly trough trees why should one not do it? Isn`t MP gaming on public servers about to look aft advantages you can get to win against youre opposer? If you don`t follow him or at least to try to track him until he is free of trees it`s your problem, isn`t it? I don`t want to offend you, really, thats just my view.

If this was COD, as in call of duty, I could accept that, but i expect a more gamesmanship type attitude from Flight simmers. at least that's the way it used to be. Although looking at this forum lately, those days may be gone.

We all know there are dicks out there that will exploit any option in the game to cheat mate.. sad isn't it.

Well I said this would happen, but many refused to believe me, Ive seen it many times myself already, I guess we cant call it a sim if you can fly through Tree's, hell i dont think you can even do that in WOP. Game on the shelf for me at the moment its beyond fixing IMHO.

Why you call it cheating?

Perhaps if the weather was finished and installed we could cheat using clouds instead.

I am really looking forward to the NA release despite this failing. There is no one flying when I'm online.

More irrefutable proof that COD is an EPIC FAILURE. The most lenient arcade flyer doesn't permit flying through trees. What a joke.

Even Freycinet must admit that any Tree must be insurmountable.

LMAO! Now that was funny, good one Aullido.

I prefer "monumental",and "disastrous".. to "EPIC". Epic sounds like it was a major Hollywood production.

Anyway, I still hold out hope that by some ENORMOUS FEAT, I wont say miracle because that might be a slight

stretch. But I am not ready to scrap the game yet, cause I hope by some enormous feat the devs can

fix this abortion of a game.

I don't like comparing ROF to COD but all this talk about the trees killing CPUs to me is bollox, ROF has 1000s upon 1000s of trees with all having hit boxes with no slow down.

I would make it my mission to hunt down the guy using trees as cover Use the tactic of waiting over his base and kill him before takeoff, hey..it's a tactic.Just like guys who only ever snipe on small maps in games like CoD etc. Find hunt down and knife.Then teabag.Can we teabag in Clod ?

I really do not understand why's they don't fix this ffs, Dcs have the same problem, it should be as simple as assigning a material to collidable ??? Unless I am missing a technical issue they are having with this simple fix !!!

If this was COD, as in call of duty, I could accept that, but i expect a more gamesmanship type attitude from Flight simmers. at least that's the way it used to be. Although looking at this forum lately, those days may be gone.

Well there is no aptitude test required to be a simmer........

They look so nice up close, nice bark and with branches that gently wave in the breeze. Plus the very nice real time lighting and shadows...

That's why we get the flickering shadows, the waving trees...how much of a FPS hit does that cause us?

STOP THE MOVING TREES!!!

Except for critiquing screenshots..........

Lets hope we get a option to turn them off.

I agree Furbs, totally agree.

gwalch if you crash land onto the landscape your aircraft will break up, but not so with the trees, so you'd make it through the trees fine, but the land beneath would ruin your day.

]You (must) have a much greater view distance in flight sims then in all other games. I think the main problem is, what Luthier wrote, that they have to use a trick to place so many trees in a frame. That means for me, they could not "easily" apply these hit boxes without the performance hit. No flight sim (AFAIK), except CoD, is using SpeedTree for a reason...

In DCS they tried, and then abandoned, speed tree - and they still don't have collidable trees.
In RoF they use speed tree, and the trees are collidable - but there are less of them (and less activity generally).
So...
