Drone not able to enter buildings

Yes ever since SU8, drone view is no longer able to enter buildings, unlike before. Drone view can only enter jetways. Happens to all my payware airports.

This ain’t no bug. It’s a ‘gift’ from the developers after SU9.

Any item that’s collidable now bounces the camera off it and pushes you over the top of it. Same goes for the developer camera.

You also can’t go underneath a collidable flat plane.

The creator of that airport made the custom buildings collidable which is unusual as most just make items around the apron like that, but it might be a policy for anything Asobo releases.

All standard Asobo and autogen models are collidable but they don’t have interiors.

As ever it’s been implemented with no warning, no good reason and will make life harder for people making stuff for this.

But I get your point :smile:

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

After following the steps I am unable to enter buildings

I am on simver 1.26.5.0 and still can not fly into buildings.

After following the steps I am unable to enter buildings at handcrafted airports that come with World Updates like YSHL, KTVL and LICJ.

I wish I could believe that, but topics with hundreds or thousands of votes still haven’t been addressed.

Cannot enter terminal buildings while using drone. Used to be able to do that before SU8/SU9. The camera just clashes and shoots up to the roof. STEAM VERSION HERE BY THE WAY.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Some airports to test (which i am 100% sure i used to be able to enter their terminals before): LFMN, BIIS and many more! Some(but not all) 3rd party sceneries i own are affected by this as well.

And here i was head scratching thinking it was something related to my NVIDIA driver etc…

Please fix it :frowning:

Please fix this. Why did they make the drone follow collision surfaces? All those nice payware airports with rendered interiors that are now useless. Planes, sure, but why the drone too? This was a monumentally bad idea, and they’ve taken something away that I paid for.

It really was a very silly idea in my opinion to just change it without any consideration for how it would affect 3rd party scenery. At a a stroke they rendered some internal spaces no go areas. Crazy!

So how many people are needed to get this thing rolling? I hope it’s not like 500 votes or something!

I think it is unlikely that this will be classified as a bug by Asobo, it is a change and developers will be expected to alter their products to accommodate the changes.

That’s all very good but smacks of we couldn’t care less about the users or the developers for that matter.
What about all the airports users have bought that now lose that facility, are the developers expected to go back and ater them because of a whim by Asobo?
There doesn’t seem to be any good reason to alter the way the drone interacts with the scenery. As I said at the beginning of this report, there will be no point in any detailing anywhere beyond the external walls if this is a permanent “improvement” .

In the latest update timeline it’s marked as “under investigation”… but that doesn’t mean they’ll fix it unless we all complain about it. I suppose the point is some users don’t care about such things, so in the end I guess it will depend on the numbers.

Yes that is exactly what they are expected to do I suspect, alter their textures to suit the new camera mode.

It’s astounding. The collective thousands of hours developers have expended creating some amazing airport interiors has been trashed by Asobo for no good reason. I really miss this feature, feel that airports have now been artificially degraded and something I really looked forward to exploring in the
sim has been taken away. Why? It’s a camera. It should be able to go anywhere.

I’m guessing Asobo won’t fix this come SU12 in 2023.

Also affects Tailstrike’s LKPR.

Has MS/Asobo even fixed this yet?
