Unable to use Flying vehicles / Jetpacks / Balloons / Rifts etc...

Summary

It’s not possible to use flying vehicles or some items that require flight in some way in a map with the landscape moved fairly up. I have a map with a large landscape that’s been moved up (enough) to avoid the fog that was visible in in the distance. However, now I can’t use flying vehicles or items, as described above. I want to clarify that everything it’s in the Level Bounds, or apparently is.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

World Building

Steps to Reproduce

  • Make a Landscape
  • Move it up till there is no fog (making a large landscape can help to see wether there is fog or no in distance)
  • When High enough, place a flying vehicle (such as helicopters) or try to use an item (Rift to go, Balloons or Jetpack).
  • If nothing changes, move it up more and repeat the instructions in step 3.

Expected Result

Flying vehicles should be able to fly or items should work normally

Observed Result

Flying vehicles are unable to fly and are affected by a gravity force pulling down (like when hitting height limit, which here is the problem) and items (listed on the title) are unusable.

Platform(s)

PC

‘‘Zero Point Fish’’ is another item that doesn’t work

Hi MajorBlues,

There’s currently a hardcoded height limit of about 22,000 cm (and a lower limit of -9,000cm)

So, the solution here would be to take control of the fog.

Try Dropping in an Environment Light Rig Device and experimenting with the SkyAtmosphere and ExponenitalHeightFog components.

is this in all maps, or just in large ones? I was going to write up a ticket for it not working in 8794-8487-4263 but if it’s already logged…
(zero point fish not working when consumed. You get the aura, but not the double-jump dash).

Well I guess its a general bug and not size dependant..

Yeah, that’s what I feared, unfortunately I don’t have the possibility to re-move everything, I’ll keep these restrictions :+1:
