Most terrain, especially on Pacific Maps is overgrown and prohibitive to any long runways.

If you can find a flat spot then you can create your own runways and taxi ways with the airfield objects added to the very end of the objects list in the last patch. I've been having a blast creating custom airfields for use online.

Thanks Icefire! I've been doing the same!

But the issue is that the transparent (red) runways that you can build a strip(s) on are a bit too long and it's very difficult to find an ideal flat and clear spot in the Solomons map in the historical battle spots.

What I'm trying to do is create airfields a little closer instead of having to fly from the historical airstrips for playability. Much easier to make testrunway 3/4 shorter than to defoliate the Solomons. (Agent Orange is nasty stuff)

So yes, I too have been creating some really nice main and secondary customized airstrips!
