Hi devs, Would it be possible to expose collision thickness? In the more extreme edge cases, I can crash through the ground terrain in my setups. On unreal landscape meshes, I managed to clamp this by setting collision thickness to 10000 (100m). I tried searching for the parameter in the 3D Tileset…

Unfortunately I’m not trying to stick anything to the ground :expressionless: In extreme cases I have things colliding with the ground plane at 400kmh… I am computing altitude with a line trace though so it’s possible I could add in a check for “was 20m above the ground going 400kmh = crashed”

Yeah exactly. So if you keep track of how far they traveled the last frame, that will give you a good enough idea of how far they’re going to travel next frame. Then you can shoot a ray out of the forward vector of the airplane that length, and you’ll have a good idea as to if they’ll crash next f…

Oh, there’s also the dynamic pawn: "Added a dynamic camera that adapts to height above terrain" - #2 by Nithin_Pranesh I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but it is probably going to be less hacky than what I described above.

I’ve already built a pawn that does that exact same thing… Thing is, I WANT to fly at super-speeds near the ground, it’s quite exhilarating :slight_smile:

hahahaha please share video if it’s allowed :slight_smile:

Early test from last month. This isn’t the superspeed flying version though unfortunately - just me driving my space rover down the freeway :slight_smile: [Orbital Preview NetMode Standalone 64 bit Windows 2021 04 07 08 48 16]

I do this: Stick to the ground - #2 by nbaja
