Collision Bug

There is a collision bug with planes (im not talking about their collision bubble in the debugger being too small).

The problem is this, when a unit dies or there is a dead structure or object in the level, low flying planes will actually fly into and through the structure, if you dont believe me, take a lvl1 plane for a spin in manual control and fly through a dead buzzsaw. Now you might ask how is this is an important bug in relation to other problems. Currently its stopping my project from progressing as a dynamic involves large objects that block planes (trying not to give away many details).

Note that im aware of .tdf footprints and of how to set a height level, the structure will take bullets and will stop construction it is only these low flying planes i cant sort. Is there an existing resolution other than to have smaller models? :/

Although im aware of the hassle anyone willing to add an optional collision bubble to the .tdf would definetly be of help :p

AFAIK plane movement is simply unrestricted. I think it checks for air to air collisions but that's it. Might want to try barrage balloons.
