Bug description:
In general simobjects don’t work anymore when they are supposed to load or move on collision meshes. Come to think of airports that are either completely set up as 3D models (all of the above, because terrain resolution doesn’t allow the features required there), airport bridges crossing highways, elevated curbsides behind airports, people at viewing terraces in rooftops, animated people within terminals… This will mess up many addons.
Repro steps:
Loading either of above mentioned addons you will encounter the following:
Simobjects Type “Ground Vehicle” (connected to SPB script that lets them follow a path):
Not working on collision meshes at all. They won’t even follow a ramp onto the collision mesh when coming from “real terrain”.
Simobjects type “AI aircraft”
Not working on collision meshes at all.
Simobjects Type “Animal” and “Human”:
Seem to have similar behaviors. Generally they can follow a ramp onto a collision mesh IF they are moving through a SPB script but but they are - sometimes not, sometimes yes - loaded on top of a collision mesh when static (=loaded through XML placement).
Attachments:
Aerosoft EDDB Berlin airport curbside, “GroundVehicle” can’t follow elevated curbside:
Aerosoft VNLK Lukla, XML placed “Human” not loading on top of collision mesh (in another instance she does load there):
Aerosoft EGAR Rothera, snowmobiles (type=groundvehicle) sinking into collision mesh to the right:
Aerosoft VNPL Phaplu, tuktuk (type=groundvehicle) sinking into collision mesh to the right:
Aerosoft VNLK Lukla, type=animal properly following collision mesh (however, only after getting up there through a ramp)
