Darky, there is a much eaiser way to flatten out areas of land by using Unlocked FMB. There is a control called Height and it allows you to raise or lower the land. I use it all the time.

Hi Guys !
Eureka !  Bombsaway is right ! The easiest way to flatten terrain is control Height by MapBuilder. At first we have to do the area and then the objects.To do it automatically with the objects set is impossible, I think.
Thank you Bombsaway ! Thanks to all for your advices.
Best regards
Darky

 How does one unlock a locked FMB?

[vpmedia]

Change bldconf.ini to this in order to get the unlocked FMB, dont forget to backup old bldconf.ini.
You also have to create a folder called 'Maps' in the gameroot, this is where the unlocked FMB saves the files in a subfolder. After editing you need to move those files from 'Maps' to #SAS/MAPMODS/maps/mapname folder.

  (builder.PlMapLoad)
  (builder.PlMapActors,sectFile=com/maddox/il2/objects/static.ini)
  (builder.PlMapAirdrome)
  (builder.PlMapLabel)
  (builder.PlMapText)
[builder config]
  bShowGrid false
  bShowName true
  bViewRunaway false
  bShowTime true
  bShowArmy [3,true,true,true]
  iLightLand 255
  iconSize 16
  bViewBridge false
  bAnimateCamera true
  bActorOnLand true
  bSaveViewHLand false
  bShowLandscape true
  iLightDestruction 128
  iWaterLevel 191

Btw if you change terrain height buildings will automatically readjust when you next load the map...iirc.
