Well, even when the sound bug is tackled this will still vex people. I'm running trees on low so i can still appear to be flying through trees from the viewpoint of another player who has them on high, while i don't see any of them at that point of the map
The best thing to do would be to make the tree detail level a server-side option and set it to some kind of happy medium so that all players can have good frame rates, just like it used to be done with IL2 in terms of cloud settings (way way back when the new clouds were introduced) and tweaking flak guns to minimize FPS impact on players with slower PCs.
