How do I make Vehicles collide with Trees painted by the foliage brush?

I am creating an experience that requires a somewhat dense forest for players to run through and I am having issues with the collisions. When I use the foliage brush to paint the trees, they block my player character no problem. But when I enter a vehicle, it just drives straight through the trees. If I stop the vehicle in the middle of trees, it will then start doing some strange behavior and get tossed aside.

Things I have tried so far:

  • in the static mesh settings for the tree models, I have removed collisions and created a simple capsule collider.
  • I have gone into the brush settings and ensured that collisions were enabled and set to

Any help on this topic is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Did you ever figure this out? I thought I had previously done this correctly, but now I’m going back to past projects and I’m unable to get any vehicles to properly collide with a foliage mesh.

EDIT - I just changed all my foliage to StaticMeshPhysics and it blocks vehicles, players, and shots. So that works. Hope you figured it out. I know it was a while ago.
