Well...we said it would be a problem..

If you cant collide with tree then the trees are not there. Its up to the developers to fix this glitch. All online games have glitchers its just the way it is.

"In Il-2 we have two types of trees - with collision model and without. These that are without are graphical feature and loads with maximum settings. It was don that to make equal gameplay of players with different power of their PC and its settings. In BoB we will have only type with collision model".

This promise was the one where I thought: this will make a difference in my gameplay. I will not use CEM or so, but out side landings are a lot of fun when you need to find a big field without trees, I really like this in ROF, and the runways there need to be shorter so it's simpler there.
When you have an engine failure in cod you can just glide to your airfield, see if you'll make it. (avoid villages) and flare when the ground comes too close, it doesn't matter that you glide through 20 trees, and for me that is a big immersion killer.
In ROF I once landed near a forest and taxid all the way trough it avoiding every tree seperatly, I got my wing stuck on one of them and I liked the realism.
With the new forest distance you can see how many forests there are in ROF, I doubt there are less trees than in COD.

Well my feeling is that eventually the devs will pay it some attention, it has been shown they do pay some attention to our demands, for now is it not possible to live without crashable trees? it's a flight sim not a luberjack sim.

IRL if you fly a plane close to the ground and hit a tree what happens? This is a simulator, the effect of flying too low and hitting a tree should be simulated. It has nothing to do with lumberjacks or tactics, trees are objects in the COD virtual world that one should not be able to fly an aircraft thru, just like buildings, other aircraft or the ground.

But I do agree with Tree_UK, MP sound, well sounds all the way around, should be the top priority IMO, this can wait because I think it will take them some time to figure out.

And I suggest you start to use yours also before posting abuse again.

As I said before I would be good with the devs sacrificed some buildings to make some trees that would cause a collision and not add to the number of objects which would hurt FPS, that way you would have to at least attempt to avoid the trees for fear of hitting one that had a collision model. Hopefully Oleg had something in mind when he said that all trees will have a collision model in BOB, but that was a long time ago and the realities of COD are most likely different.

As for buying a new sim when you crash, really? Is that the best argument you can come up with for why this should not be addressed?

I realy don t understand some people here..
some say collision with trees are not that important because fights happen in higher altitutes. For me not being able to colide with trees is big immersion killer, because if your plane was hit and you can not make it to your airfield, you have to find a place to get down without hittin trees, how it was/ is in reality, or/and also if doing ground attack with for axample bf 110. Then why simulate trees, only for eyecandy? I think the devteam must work on it, is a high priority along other issues.
My 2 cents

[xnomad]

Steady on mate no need for that kind of talk, I think what he's saying is the graphical model and the physics model don't line up. So you can hit the tree even when visually you just missed it or vice versa.

I like this idea, even if 1 in 10 trees had a hit box, it would be very risky to fly into the forests

Ah good, so you will be fixing this issue, as I imagine only a skilled programmer would know enough about programming to be able to call other programmers chimps, so how long until you release the fix?
