Removing Trees obstructing a runway

Featured Replies

I would like to remove a big tree that is right in front of the runway which I hit all the time when approaching to land, I've heard of lumberjack but that doesn't do the trick because it seems to remove trees on each side of the runway and not in the front.  Does anyone know a solution to this?

You will probably have to use one of the Airport Editing programs to do that.  What airport and is it default or an addon?

It's an addon.

I run into that problem as well.  Can be annoying at times.

It's freeware from this site .  It's an airfield very near where I live, it's the only one I found that looks pretty good except for the trees in front of the runway which make it impossible to land.  It's a short runway and with these trees in front, it's impossible  to land, at least for me.

Scenery for LPJF is installed and no trees on or even near the runway.  Did you create a folder called LPJF and insert the Scenery and Texture folders from the download into it and then add it into the FSX/SceneryLibrary?

I have it on .../addon Scenery/Aerodromo de Leiria V1.0/.   Then I have Scenery and Texture inside of it just like it was in zip file.  It might be another scenery package causing it.  I have a few for Portugal, I will try to disable them and then add them one by one and find out which one is causing it.

Excellent idea! Let us know what you find.

It didn't work, the trees are still there!  What version of FSX do you have?  Do you have the Acceleration Pack?  

  • Administrators

I have FSX Standard Edition with SP1 & 2.

Sounds like the layering is incorrect, make sure all your airports are at the top of the scenery list in FSX

I have acceleration but probably will uninstall everything and start anew.

I found the problem.  I reduced the "Scenery Complexity" and "Autogen Density" settings to "Sparse" and that removed the trees from the front of the runway.  I think these airports could be edited so you don't have to change these settings though, perhaps using that editing program you mentioned above.  Thanks for the help Charliearon and SierraHotel

It's a shame you had to lower your settings like that.  Mine are maxed full right. In my FSX.cfg I have the following: I also use Lumberjack.

[TERRAIN]
IMAGE_PIXELS_FOR_AUTOGEN_POLYGONS=1024  
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=500 <------------------------------------
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=500<-------------------------------
LOD_RADIUS=4.500000
MESH_COMPLEXITY=50
MESH_RESOLUTION=23
TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=25
AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5
DETAIL_TEXTURE=1
