Trees on Final Approach

Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong - I love Orbx products, and in particular their TrueEarth series. I use it extensively on P3Dv5 and on X-Plane 11. Are you waiting for the "however"? Well, here it is.

 

However, at several airfields in True Earth Great Britain (South) such as EGTB (runway 24) and EGTR (runway 27) there are trees on short finals which are too tall - much too tall. At EGTB they totally block the view of the VASI's when 'on glidepath' and there is no way you could do a normal 'powered approach' without flying through the trees. The same applies at EGTR.

 

Why can't I just ignore this? Because I teach VFR flying in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. EGTB is our base airfield (as it would also be in real life). I have the Orbx EGTB airfieldscenery, too, which makes this problemless understandable. Come on Orbx, especially in the airport scenery, please adjust the tree line on final approach.
