Auto Vehicle Use
« on: September 26, 2010, 10:42:18 pm »
DFW Scenery is great however, I am unable to use any of my vehicles for driving around airport. Whenever I select any vehicle (FolloeMw, BMW, Lexus and etc.) for use, vehicle floats all over the scenery and recoverry is not possible. It appears that only flying aircrafts are compatible with this scenery. Any explanation why this is so?

Thanks

It's due to the fully 3d nature of the scenery, that requires proper contact points. The cars might have them tweaked in a non standard way, probably to ensure they behave like cars.

I appreciate your response. What do you suggest of exactly how I may resolve this problem since this is the only scenery that present this problem. I do want to continue using my FollowMe and other vehicles. Please help . . .

It's the only scenery that has the problem, because it's the only scenery in FSX which is fully 3d, which allows for the elevated taxiways.

There's no way we can "fix" this from the scenery, which is correct, since it works fine with the user airplane, the ai airplanes and the ai ground vehicles: it's the models you are using that needs to be fixed, but I don't have any idea how, it depends what the authors made to their parameters. It might be related to the contact points in their sim.cfg, you can try to lower them a bit, but it's tricky, because the vehicle might lose balance if you do it wrong.
