Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
MSFS20 Collision Material
- Thread starter karlo922

Not really. I'd love to know what's different about the stock SDK buildings that makes them rock solid every time.
I have made some things collidable, but it was only at certain speeds, mainly slow ones, and sometimes it didn't work for the same model the next time I tried it.
I have read that you should only use it for very simple shapes but in Blender at least it effectively doesn't work.

For performance reasons you should - if it can be avoided - not tag the material. To simplify the collision query, pull an Asobo Collider Box over the 3-D model:
Hi Christian, könntest Du mich mal in Discord kontaktieren Guido #4520.

I would have to take a look first. I haven't logged in to Discord for a long time. But maybe we can clarify that here too?
With the Collider Box it would be interesting to find out which of the 3 options is the gentlest for performance
I cannot use collider box on a simobject that moves and I cannot use collision setting on simobjects at all and that's my problem. There supposed to be a something that tells the sim how to deal with collisions in moving states. So thx for the advise but it's not applicable in my case. I used the collision material flag successfully when building my helipads on roofs of buildings (blender). So any idea on this?
Best regards Guido
Best regards Guido
Without road material marked in blender in addition to collision marked as well, my helipads won't work as start and landing facility. So at least in blender, both have to be set. But any ideas on that are welcome as well....and don't use Road Material
otherwise the cars go over it
a transparent box with Collision is sufficient

yes of course, for the helipad it's mandatory Road Material
but not for an hangar, otherwise you'll find planes and vehicles on the roof
but I don't know more about collision, I declared my defeat 4 months ago
when I was doing tests but without understanding the final result
in this video there are two pylons, boxed with transparent cube with collision material
I only take the second
but if I change runway don't collide with any....

these are some issues that I have also encountered
I didn't understand the logic, so for now I've given up

Having done a little scenery development in MSFS thus far, I am avidly following the "collision material" discussion. I do not use Blender, but I have created starts and of course, runways.
I have done this without using any "road material," but considering helicopter support is yet to be implemented in MSFS, how do you even define a helipad? Is it the short square runway you've placed on top of a building shaped hill, that has an ICAO for you to direct your powered glider to with the rotating blades animation, or something completely different?
That all sounds reasonable but as soon as you want the helipad on top of a building, it needs to have some properties to make the heli land on it and specially start from it.
I filed the issue on the forum https://devsupport.flightsimulator....ts-no-longer-keep-their-material-collisi.html but it was kind of checked but they stopped working on it. In the documentation the way they describe it is that the sim objects get a very simple collision shape around it like the airport buildings got it. https://docs.flightsimulator.com/ht...search=collider&rhhlterm=colliders collidable
I tried this but without success. Give it a 2nd shot because I might have done something wrong.

From what they explain here for max https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Asset_Creation/3D_Models/Collision_Handling.htm it seems you should just be doing the standard way of colliders that Unity and UE also use, but in Blender.
ie: add a basic shape around your mesh that's "close enough", set it to MSFS Invisible and check collider. Assuming the exporters are exporting the right info to the target .gltf file.
I'll run some more tests and see.

I seem to remember mikea.at was planning on forking blender2msfs to get this working properly. I don't know if it does work fine in 3ds Max.
My previous experiments with collision areas were all super simple, just plain boxes. They never worked properly and since the plugin hasn't changed since then I assume they still don't.

It would be good to verify this. It wouldn't be the first time they've said something in the docs that isn't accurate.
