ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The Avatar appears to walk on the top of the collision box for the ramp to the viewing area, rather than on the surface of the ramp.
Coordinates or location:
Shark Valley Tower POI, WU22 (25.6576° N 80.7668° W)
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Twice in one session.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
In free flight, choose a small GA aircraft ot helicopter and spawn cold-n-dark at the parking area for the POI - search for “Shark Valley Tower POI” on the world map or enter the coordinates 25.6578° N 80.7664° W
-
Walk along the path to the tower and start ascending the ramp (Note: there is another small anomaly where the first post of the white rail fence is missing) (screenshot #1)
-
Climb the ramp & note the height of the avatar (screenshot #2)
-
I’m not sure if one was supposed to be able to climb to the observation platform as one is blocked (screenshot #3). If one is, then there is a steel plate blocking one’s ascent (screenshot #4)

Walk along the path to the tower (note missing post)
Start up the ramp - note the height of the avatar in this screenshot:
This is as far as one can get, as one’s head “hits” the roof of this level of the tower:
Ascent to the observation platform (if designed to be possible) is blocked:
Edit: For comparison, have a look at Clingmans Dome Lookout Tower POI (35.5629° N 83.4984° W), about 8.5 NM north of Sossamon Field (57NC).
Same design as the Shark Valley Tower, but in this case ones avatar walks up the surface of the ramp, as expected:
Though the avatar is still blocked at the top of the ramp and cannot enter the viewing platform:
