More info needed, ie; What field, aircraft, Alitude, Exactly what you were doing, etc. Also, can you re-create this event? or just a one time thing?

[evan]

ok i was flying tail draggers extra l 330 DC
and i was at air race stadium and i was at about 50'

thanks

can you Sugest what pilon it is near. or IF it is on curcut ETC

Is you scenary up full.

if you find it . try to make an RC. and post it. Because if your sceenery detail is at Highest and you hit Somehing(Nothing) then this may be a bug.

Looks like you may have just hit that tower

[evan]

no i wasnt that close to the tower i could have flown for another 10 seconds

An invisible "tree" or other collision object?

You have most of the visual objects turned off, so you may not see what is still modeled in the sim.

[evan]

but when i turn the scenery off i can fly right into the stadium without hiiting it

[opjose]

But it is not an invisible "collision object".

i dont get it

[opjose]

Many fields have "invisible" collision objects included in them for various reasons.

Sometimes these are used to produce more accurate collisions against visible objects, but the "invisible" objects are completely seperate.

If you turn off the visible objects, you do not turn off the "invisible" ones, which may result in you hitting something unseen.

[evan]

ok i get it now(i think)

so if i turn on everything i will see what i hit. right?

[opjose]

Yes and no.

You will see what the "invisible" collision object may be representing. But the "invisible" object remains invisible.

You CAN view them in the airport editor.

Invisible objects appear to be all in RED.

[evan]

so if i go into the editor i can delete everything that is red an then i wont be hitting anything

Right?

thanks
