• 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 How to make objects solid/collideable in airport scenery

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a newb question, I've just started building my first sceneries, a couple of seaplane bases in Scotland. Gotten along alright so far, what I'm wondering is if there's any way to make the piers into solid objects so that the plane bounces into them, instead of sliding through them?
Either by making the pier object itself solid, or by placing some kind of invisible solid thing inside the pier?
I'm just using the standard MSFS SDK developer tool in game.

Many thanks!
 
Are these piers from a library or something that you created? If you created the model in something like Blender, you would be able to use a collision shape or mesh to do that (use shape over mesh when possible).
If it's a library and they don't come with colliders, a work-around would be to make a collision box from mesh in Blender and assign an invisible material to it with the collision option checked.

You would create your own library then and place it aligned with the pier.

Yes it was piers from the FS Base library. Had a look through all the resources currently on the sim and couldn't seem to find anything suitable.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've got Blender downloading now so I'll see how I get on with that!
