Crashing into the invisible! WTH! (Read 656 times)

Hi, does anyone know why I have some sceneries that make my airplane crash in certain points and there is nothing visible there, so they are crashing into something invisible.

Has anyone experience with similar problems and that has found a workaround?

Two examples of sceneries that cause me such a problem are Tokyo_FSX (freeware) and Ponta Delgada (LPPD, payware). In Tokyo, it will crash when I am flying around the high buildings near that famous red tower and in Ponta Delgada it crashes right there in the runway, so I cannot even take off (have to use slew mode to "take off").

Thank you.

Welcome to SimV Andy

The work-around; in FSX goto Settings>Realism and set 'Crashes and damage' to 'Ignore....'

The best solution would be to contact the author/publisher and see if they have had similar reports and if there is a fix.

 

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.          Igor Sikorsky

Does it say "CRASH!!!!" or "Aircraft Overstressed"? They look the same exept for the one text message that appears on the screen.

Some custom sceneries are like that, where the crash detection is a little off with the objects placed. 
I remember there was this big project scenery made for FS9 that modeled Hong Kong Kai Tak, where the developer specifically stated that crash detection should be turned off.

Just turn off crash detection.  Aside from accidentally bumping into AI and buildings on the ground, most of the time, you should probably be able to tell when you are crashed anyways.
