Welcome to
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s SDK Q&A Platform!
Please take a moment to read the platform’s guidelines before you get started!
I'm trying to build a moving landing platform,
Using a worldscript with waypoints and a Groundvehicle. The vehicle follows the path correctly, but
As soon as I add a collision to the groundvehicle (either a collision shape or a collision material), it tilts 45 degree and run away at high speed, ignoring the waypoints too
Any thoughts? Content provided as comment below
I spent a week making a thing like this. The problem seems to be it's colliding with its own wheels and you can't decide where the wheels are. Try moving the platform a distance from the center of the model. I may be able to share an example later.
Proof of concept (sorry, on phone) :
And the dolly pad is great, is a perfect application for the moving platform
With your suggestion, in my case, I find out that I have to raise the platform up to 4 meters from terrain to avoid the ground vehicle from tumbling all over
I have also find out that the cg_height and the wheel_radious don't affect any behaviour
Maybe the team can investigate more!
Here! This is how far I had to move the platform from model center. The empties here are where I approximated the wheels to be after analyzing the turning behavior in the sim. This placement is safe and prevents it from colliding with itself.
Gonna try to move my whole model on the Y axis too, should accomplish the task
Thank you again,.you had the right intuition!
And looking forward for a tech explanation from the team, knowing how stuff works can be interesting!
Hello @mamudesign ,
I'm not sure yet, but it seems like it was done on purpose to keep the vehicles from being under the ground.
I've already asked the devs for more info and as soon as I get their feedback I'll let you know. In the meantime @WombiiActual has, I think, found an interesting approach ;)
Regards,
Boris
