DRONE_COLLISION_IN requires Asobo_uniqueID to avoid model break!

Severity: Low

Bug description:

When exporting a model that uses Drone Collision via the MSFS 2024 3ds Max Multi-Exporter, the export only works correctly if the “asobo_uniqueID” option is enabled under Export Options → MSFS 2024 Extensions (the checkbox labeled asobo_uniqueID). If this option is not enabled, the result in-sim is a broken model state: the exterior model is invisible, and the interior/animations appear corrupted/broken. As soon as asobo_uniqueID is enabled, the same model exports and works normally.

This feels like unintended behavior because asobo_uniqueID should only be needed to prevent naming collisions, but in this case the node naming is already unique and there’s no collision to resolve. Low priority (workaround exists), but reporting in case it’s something you’d like to fix.

Hello,

For simobjects, the “asobo_unique_id” is mandatory to get your animations to work properly. We’ will add this information in the documentation.

Thank you !
