• 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.

Crash Boxes

I may be missing something obvious, but is it possible to find out which object a crash box is associated with?

I'm working on an aircraft carrier and for some reason it has a large crash box in the approach and climb out paths, neither of which actually have any geometry in, or even near, them! At the moment I'm having to take a rather broad brush approach to setting the No Crash parameter, if I could isolate the objects causing the problem I'd hopefully be able to go back to a ship you can't fly through!
 
Hi,

That is not always easy to find out. Is your object placed with scale 1.0 or with a smaller scale?
 
Yes it can. But if you crash box is that much too big, I expect something else to be the problem. Or do you see the big crash box in modelconverterx as well?
 
I saw the crash boxes in Model Convertor X after I kept crashing in mid air!
Oddly they seem to be tied to a figure that has a visibility condition attached, if I don't include it the crash boxes are more or less as expected, include it and they appear.
Having said that, I re-exported with granularity at 1.0 and the problem seemed to resolve itself, so I'm not really sure what was going on, but it has been resolved!
 
Hi,

Modelconverterx does not export visibility conditions, so that might also explain the difference.
