acknowledged Removing Trees on SA map - what's the secret?

[cfrag]

Hi, I'm trying to create a helicoper-based scenario in the beautiful SA map, only to be stymied by the fact that ham-fisted I can't seem to be able to remove some of the verdant flora on the map to make space for by base. I'm using a REMOVE OBJECTS ZONE action in a trigger AT START, but try as I might, the trees are very stubborn, and seem to resist their removal.

Now, most obvious reason: I'm doing something wrong. Attached please find the preliminary (poc) scenario I'm working on. What am I doing wrong?

All help and hints appreciated.

The trigger is highly inconsistent. Zone 2 was without trees, Zone 1 still had trees for me in your mission. But I don't see anything wrong with the setup.

Now that is truly intriguing - thank you so much for looking at this @razo+r! I went back into the mission after fully re-starting DCS and suddenly now the trees are gone. All of them in both zones. Will now try this in MP. Thank you for giving me hope

Well, there you go. Sometimes the trigger works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it removes a square instead of a circle. Pretty much random.

Well, it's a mess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A pity, really, since that map would lend itself greatly for fantastic FARP-based missions.

Currently...

I wonder if ED could look into this @BIGNEWY or maybe @Flappie could help report it?

I have just tested on our internal build and the FARP is cleared of trees for me. I will suggest waiting for the next update for South Atlantic then we will revisit it. 

There is also a report for inconsistency with clearing trees in MP, some sync issues it seems, but not always. 

thanks

Just note that this issue is not map specific.
