Slightly OT but relevant and (for those who insist - constructive)

The "forest" and flying through the trees... sure a collision box for the forest has proved to be intensive machine wise and for the most unworkable regarding AI(this is with regard to other sims as well.

wouldn't it be possible to have instead of one huge box, or trees individually drawn up as hitboxes, to have a series of slender vertical rods (as hitboxes) scattered throughout the forest at say 30m spacings to each other and to treetop height?

Even duct tape can't fix stupid... but it can muffle the sound.
