Landing on roof of buildings set them on fire?

[lwalter]

I noticed that landing the Huey on top of buildings that I add to the map as static objects sets them to fire.

Initially I thought it was my helicopter, but no, it's the buildling.

Are these static building not intended for that? Or am I landing to hard on them? in the latter case, I'd expect the Huey to be damaged too.

Note landing on oil and gas rigs, ships or FARPS don't do that.

I see the same thing on buildings that are part of the maps, even ones with dedicated helipads. My guess is that decorative buildings use a very simple HP damage system, and that anything which causes HP to drop even by a point or two generates a "damage indicator"... in this case, an emitter showing fire and smoke. So perhaps the amount of damage required to produce an emitter needs to be raised.

 

I can't say if very soft landings avoid this issue, because I'm rubbish so there's no such thing as a soft landing for me.

Yeah, you can land hard enough to damage the building while not being damaged yourself. As far as I can tell, you can land on any building that has a roof, doesn't matter if it's flat or slanted.

yep and tankers if you dont land very soft, but also your fine no damage
