What is that "Grass Field"?

[Stratos]

I've found a structure called "Grass Field" in the editor, but what is exactly? It seems my planes cannot use it as a runway. Can someone explain it?

 

Thanks!

It is W.I.P it will allow some aircraft to start from the ground just like having a FARP

Have you tried the WW2 aircraft? It sounds like its this stuff form the April 8th news letter:

Currently, the main effort is focused on airfields with different types of surfaces (a first for DCS World). For example: we are implementing SMT (Square Mesh Tracks) surfaces, which were widely used by the Allies for temporary airfields in Normandy following the landings. We are also developing the possibility to place airfields on the map using the Mission Editor

Last I tried it wasn't even rendering in game yet. Its common for UI, even if incomplete, to be added first for features like this.

Pretty interesting!
