This is a silly point perhaps or maybe important considering the incredible amount of detail and historical accuracy you are striving for and achieving in other areas. Historically its a bit like including a six lane motorway in the maps. I understand it's taken from a satilite shot so maybe its there as a mockup and won't be in the final game.
I know exactly where your coming from mate, Imagine the dissappointment of finding yourself being involved in a high speed low altitude bare knuckle dogfight with a wonderfully modeled and detailed 109 thats being handled by a rather skilled pilot, eventually you get the better of him having seen parts of his aircraft fall away and fuel leaking from his tanks, you break off knowing he wont make it back, then as you glance down to get your bearings you notice that Oleg has modeled in some tracks that could only be made from modern wide boom crop spraying farm machinery. This would ruin the experience for me completely and make me reconsider my purchase of this sim.
