Third Party Grass

Allow me to disagree with you here Howard. Yesterday, I did a couple of take-off and landings from small fields in Southern Germany, in the grass. I loved it. The grass is an order of magnitude better than what we had before (read in P3D), nicer in shape, colors and concentration. I had the feeling to really roll in the grass. Are we forgotten so fast ? 

Hi Dominique, sure, the grass itself is not necessarily the issue, but the length of it I find unsuitable for any airfield other than bush strips.

After we have to relativize, I much prefer the vegetation of MSFS than the one we had under fsx or p3d. So...

Nothing wrong with the grass in MSFS, but it needs to be cut short for grass strips.

Agreed it looks  good, but the grass is way to long when compared to actual real life grass strips

If we have a serious multi-page thread about the length of the grass, then MSFS is doing fine.

But could be doing even more fine with nicely trimmed grass runways 😁

I guess I just have too good a memory and what we've been putting up with for the last decade or so as far as grass....... 🤢

Absolutely Bert. I remember the lovely grass strips in some of the NA Orbx airfields in FSX  and P3d, really nice.

Here is MSFS jungle 🤣 ! Look at the blade along the wheel , 15 cm max  ! I recently mowed my lawn which had longer blades (for my sins) !

Give me that anyday instead of the old Orbx 2d texture with grass 3d models strategically scattered around (not many or the FPS suffers).

Just paid another visit to my local field which I visit regularly in real life...Sywell and it a large grass field which has now acquired a paved runway and the grass is always very well mowed..

 

Just not in MSFS 2020  it is way to long . Has anybody come up with a fix yet?
