Plane is falling but doesnt crash!

Post by Pendrokar »

The whole problem is that planes can only crash on terrain. In the screenshot you can see how a bomber can't to the surface of the terrain cause is stuck between wind traps!

Weird... units shooted away by a guardian die or take damage then they crash against other units, so why falling bombers dont? :)

They are taking damage, however, I suspect aircraft have some tags so they don't take damage by colliding with each other.

This issue has been around for quite a long time..whenever there's a solid area filled in with hitspheres, an aircraft sits there in an amusing fashion. Particularly noticable in SimBase when a fighter or bomber crashes above a large field of metal makers.
