Improvement Idea: Side Textures for Forests

[Shardur]

As the topic says: I believe it would be a big improvement to the game if forests had side textures so they would be visible from the side when you are flying really low. Failing that it would already be a big improvement if the tree textures where double sided so you could see them when you are below the texture.

Yep, I have crashed into the invisible trees trying to take off or running from the enemy too many times. We already have the horrible-no way to eliminate-building-popup, why dont have a side forest texture popping only when you are flying less than 500m for example? or with an option so you can choose the altitude when it appears?

The "razor trees" are an inherited problem, rendering forests with acceptable frame rates and the buildings/town/cities, will never be fixed unless they are removed/replaced,
adding extra textures to forests will slow the sim down further still, the "razor trees" were done that way for the reason of keeping frame rates fast low down.

I remember the introduction of the new palm trees around the time of Pacific Fighters, it was a complete frame rate killer and still can be on certain maps.

If its a choice of time being used by DT between a scenery or aircraft simulator, I would go in favour of the aircraft every time.

Unless you have some reworked textures you have made yourself already tested and ready to go.
