Hi all,
I was a little confused about where this thread ought to go, as it is a question, but contains a screenshot.
Anyway, I was playing with my new "toy" AFCAD (:D) and created a nice little airfield. However, trees dominated the taxiways, but oddly enough the runways were tree-free.

How can I remove the trees from my taxiways?
(here is a pic for reference):

Does anyone know?
Cheers  ;)

Chopping down the trees will be relatively easy, but getting the stumps and roots out is a major task, especially as they appear to be covered with a thick layer of asphalt. May I suggest a JCB?

Tina's free tomorrow, but I can't make it because I have to repair Mrs Broadbent's guttering.

Theres some exclude programs out there, search for 'exclude' on some of the FS sites.  Ive never used one, but heres some advise: When making an AFCAD, try finding an open field.  Then, in fs, slew to the 'border' of the field and make a mark in afcad (those pink thingies) and once you get those marks, connect them to have your border.  Then, voila, you have a boundary of places you can put the airport without hitting a tree!  One of these days Ill put a little tutorial together called AFCAD Made Easy, as I am really good at making afcads

I know Jake, I didn't mean to make it look like you were or anything.
