Oh interesting! What about the airfield was unusable, in what way? The pre-made mission I believe uses the Normandy map but you start out already in the air. I've done some practice take-offs and off-field landings after detaching from the tow plane. I really have enjoyed seeing what maneuvers I can do while still attached to the tow plane.. I'm ashamed to say I've caused the crash of that tower more than several times.
If you are talking about the airfield we
custom made the ground texture became so rough that you almost always bounced your nose into the ground trying to take-off or land.

Grid 0119 np 6 we built an airfield on that island.
We were able to take off and land at our custom built airfield with limited problems until a recent patch made very difficult to takeoff and next to impossible to land without nosing over.
