better clouds and trees in next patch ?

Im no programmer, I wouldnt want to comment on the games coding etc, but I really dont see how these trees are such a problem.

I have been playing flight sims for longer than I care to remember and I can remember sims from years back that tackled this problem by simply making the forest blocks 30-40 feet higher than the surounding topography. Sure it looked rubbish but if you hit a forest block you died.

At the moment we have eye candy trees that arnt really there, I decided ages ago if they didnt exist I would not have them so I disabled them, sure it looks rubbish but whats the point of rendering something that doesnt exist ?

If it was hedges I could and would accept them, but If I collide with a dirty great elm or oak tree I deserve to and expect to die.
