Advanced Users Only: Whats the trick to adding collision data to a pano field?
• Conceptually, it’s actually pretty easy to do. However, it does required a background and lots of experience with using 3D modeling software Blender3D, AC3D, 3D Studio Max and similar programs. These programs can be found online. Blender3D is free, and like any 3D modeling program it takes considerable time to learn the basics. • To setup for making a collision file, using the example above, add the lines below to the PanoExample.fld file. • Create the file called PanoExample.col and put this in the folder with the fld file. Add some blank lines to the file. • You can check the file structure by running the sim. It should run like it did before. There will be no collision data since the collision file is empty. • The points that define the collision objects must be in an x-y-z coordinate system that matches the coordinate system of the panorama. FS One uses the NED system (standard for flight simulation), which is North-East-Down where positive X points North, postive Y points East a
