Remove trees in Mission Editor

Hi.

I'd like a function in the mission editor for removing trees, just as FARPs do, but only with more control over it. And without having to use a FARP of course.

This could be an simple addition, and it would make mission making more interesting, as we could use more parts of the map for missions.

Examples of use: Clearing hilltops for FOBs and unit-emplacements or clearing ground for camps in forests.

You can use the ME to Place a trigger wich removes scenery objects?

Learned this myself just a day or two ago.

Place a zone and name it then put a trigger, Check under ACTIONS, you´ll find "SCENERY REMOVE OBJECTS ZONE, choose the named zone of your choosing.

Tada!

A Feature Request has been submitted to the team.

You can use the ME to Place a trigger which removes scenery objects?

Nice, that worked!

Not the most precise tool, but it's precisely what I was looking for. :)

I withdraw my request ^^' .

Not only trees but all objects on airfields. It's weird to see Ilyuchins or Mi-8 on US coalition fields in Caucasus.

The same for the generic company of heavy planes on the airport of Las-Vegas.

you are my man!!!!! exactly what i am looking for. . . thank you very very much for sharing this!!!!!!! :-)

This is wonderful news, I love rebuilding my maps and this is the only way to do it in DCS 2.5 as far as I know.

Thanks for this thread boys, its the bees knees !!

It only work in single player, not multiplayer.

Request: Is it possible to activate this function for Multiplayer. There simply are to many trees.

And some script function as well? Also maybe some option to make trees destructible by default when they get hit?

Could someone kindly show step by step for a new DCS guy how to do this?

I can’t do it and have seen multiple ME videos now to try to learn it.

Hi baudie,

Welcome and try this, see if it helps. Cheers.

Hi SUNTSAG

Thank you for the attempt. Got me closer and thought I made all steps now / but still trees in the map. Maybe I cant do it for the map and have to do the step for all missions?

I would still appreciate to make this an option in the game, so it is an option for all and not only for the guys who have played this game for long and knows how to make new missions etc.

wow hold up, found this right now.. Guys, if we can remove SpeedTrees, is there noway that we can add them inside the ME ??? there must be a way.. c'mon ED please give us this Option...

Thanks for that neat trick guys!

I just stumbled upon that thread searching for a way to remove a bunch of trees in the scenery.

From my understanding, the trigger removes the whole vector area filled with trees and does not allow any finer control.

Similarly I don't think there would be a way to add trees unless ED provides a vector tool we could use in the ME.

That's exactly how it's done in X-Plane World Editor as you can define a polygon filled with a given type of vegetation.

So here's what happened when I attempted to remove a few trees around that tiny airfield.

So as mentioned in a previous post, it's not a precise tool/trick but it could definitely help shaping an area.

Thanks again!

For creating our own airport we would really appreciate to remove the objects in multiplayer.
