VampireNZ Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) As per title - you can make out the airstrip while airborne, but on the ground you are ploughing through knee-length grass taking off/landing. Getting rid of the long grass on the airstrip area would be nice. Nice little strip to operate my Yak (Nanchang!) out of . EDIT: and YES it is a real world airstrip.

Recoil16 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Check the A/FD, it's closed indefinitely. Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.

Then why have it at all, particularly with labeled parking slots? The tall grass is a wider-DCS issue. It's been requested that Channel and Normandy fields have their grass mown as well.

Probably because people keep asking for it to be usable despite the fact that it is abandoned. I'm just answering the question as to why Pagan isn't mowed, which makes a lot of sense if you ask me. But I guess you don't actually want that. Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.

Save the attitude, it would just be nice if grass airstrips in the game were mown and more useable, to make a nice change from tarmac. It is also the only strip up north there to fly a small a/c like the Yak to enjoy the northern islands for a change. There is no need for sarcasm - I made a polite request to get it mown, not asking why it wasn't. If it can't be done then fine. 1 Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha| i7-6700K @ 4.60GHz | nVidia GTX 1080ti Strix OC 11GB @ 2075MHz| 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz DDR4 CL14 | Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 SSD | Corsair Force LE 480GB SSD | Windows 10 64-Bit | TM Warthog with FSSB R3 Lighting Base | VKB Gunfighter Pro + MCG | TM MFD's | Oculus Rift S | Jetseat FSE [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making a bug report, in the "Bugs and Problems" subforum, which implies you think this is wrong. I don't know about you, but to me, an abandoned airfield not having its grass mowed regularly seems realistic and correct. 1 Everybody said: "That's impossible!"

Nealius Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) "But while Pagan is not abandoned, it certainly isn't in common use. The A/FD lists it as "closed indefinitely". Not that the state of the airfield makes any difference to where the trees are though." So removing obstructions is okay because Pagan being closed doesn't matter, but reducing grass is not okay because Pagan being closed does matter? You also made a distinction between "abandoned" and "closed indefinitely" there, but in this discussion that differentiation is now gone?

But grass, oh no that completely depends on the state of the airfield, apparently. If you think that trees and grass are the same thing, you are beyond help. Have a nice day.
