Can GSX animations be prevented from going thru aircraft?
« on: July 24, 2020, 02:29:02 pm »
Sometimes, GSX animations (such as crew, passengers, and service vehicles) are totally ignorant of the wings or belly of the aircraft, and do what's impossible in real life: they walk or drive right through the airplane. Is there any way to set a barrier around the airplane to prevent this?
And sometimes GSX animations drive right through another animation -- maybe this could be prevented also?

They surely don't do this, provided your airplane configuration is correct.

Yes, sometimes this can happen, and the reasons why have been explained so many times on the forum, for example here:

You replied "They surely don't do this, provided your airplane configuration is correct."

Please explain where I can find information on how to change the airplane configuration. Thanks!

With the simulator running, hit Alt if the top menu bar isn't already visible, go to Add-on Manager, GSX, customize aircraft.

Note that, the airplane configuration is just ONE thing that affect this. It's the most important, because anything wrong there will result in problems everywhere.

But the airport and parking customization might be very important ( depending on the place ). Adjusting the vehicles starting positions to match the actual parking layout will improve a lot the issue of vehicles running into each other.
