Tree Collisions

[bagrat]

well it isnt a big deal but while messin around (taxxing through trees) i noticed that u die from getting within like 20 feet of a tree, can u change it to where you die only if you actually make contiact with the tree.

bagrat, Did you hit it? Would you hit it? "I'd hit it like this". U know what I mean.

I was in a fw190 sometime this past week and pulling up from a dive and I pulled up WELL over a bank of trees, 20-30 feet off the top of the canopy, and I crashed into them, but here's the kicker..

Get this...

At the EXACT same time my engine instantly died, a tree popped up ON TOP OF THE OTHER TREES!

I'm not making this up. I saw the other trees from miles away. I was above them and clear and  a hidden tree on top of those (as if the tree canopy were "the ground") popped up only as my engine died. My sliders are default I was at full vis range. It shouldn't have happened.

Yet, it did.

Oh so you got hit by the tree... Hmmm

[Krusty]

Negative, I got hit by a tree that was  growing out of the tops of other trees, and was invisible until (quite literally) the point of impact.

there are some bugs yet to be worked out

.....I swerved several times before the tree hit me....

You ever see the movie "Brothers Grimm"?

'I swear ociffer! The trees walked in front of me!'

I had a pet tree once until it's branch hit me. I sure miss that tree.

Now I'll preface this by saying that Yes, I know you shouldn't be flying below treetop level in the first place, and Yes, I was desperate at the time....

So I'm in my Ki-84, and I just wacked a goon that was coming in to take our base, and so the cappers there were a bit P.O.ed....

So here I am running like I got 5 planes on my tail (which I did), and I'm going low and fast, and juking through the trees to try to keep some of the fire off my tail and maybe get one of the B**tards to clip a tree and die...
when I pop over a hilltop, clip the top of a tree and die myself.

So I think to myself, Self, shouldn't I be able to clip a bit off the top of a tree with a whirling propeller or wingtip without automatically being dead?  Shouldn't the collision model which seems to rip pieces off my wing when I cross with another plane just bust up my prop or take the wingtip off?  And how come the tree never has a scratch on it, or catches fire from all that avgas I just spilt into the environment?  

If nothing else, I'd like to be able to fly over that smoking hole in the forest that used to be my opponents plane and watch 'em burn.

You see that's what you get for going into the forbidden forest.  The forbidden forest ot out of bounds!!!!!
