You and everyone else :). The problem is unfortunately universal. It's a nasty bug that we discovered long after the game's release, and which we cannot fix, because none of us (the people who worked on the game) are still employed with CI Games.
Basically, trees disappear, because we used an external plugin called SpeedTree to display them. Someone really messed up, and our SpeedTree was only enabled until the end of 2012. The game checks the system date, finds that you're past 2012, and SpeedTree refuses to work. It's a ridiculous bug :(. And it would take a whole five minutes to fix, if there was anyone at CI Games who would be able to open the game's code, make the appropriate change, and recompile.
In the meantime, the good news is that there is a way to make trees work. It's as laughable as the bug itself - you simply change the date back to 2012 whenever you want to play Dogfight 1942. Just remember to set it back to normal afterwards, or you may find many other things on your machine no longer work quite as expected.
