• 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.

Has anyone worked out the optimal height of a 'collision cube' around a scenery object?

I have tried altering the height of the collision cube but still my aircraft either tries to 'mount' the scenery object or the aircraft tips on its side instead of just 'bumping off' the scenery object even when the speed of contact is very slow.

My scenery object is a floating dock which protrudes from water by about 0.5 meters and I have tried a collision cube 2 meters high (the floatplane 'mounts' the floating dock) and 4 metres and the floatplane tips on its side.
I am expecting at low collision speed that the floatplane would bounce off the floating dock.

Has anyone experienced the same 'problem' and came up with a solution?

Is there any documentation on use of Collision cubes for MSFS?

This was a behavior I noted early on with some of the asobo autogen buildings. It was almost as if the collider would become peaked in certain places. I havent done much corner case testing with the colliders yet, was going to be digging deeper into them soon, I'll post back any useful info I find in this thread.
