boat problem

[bernhard]

Hello playford and thank you for your reply.

Well, I've tried it again with a proxy, but I couldn't fix my problem.

the boat is still sinking:

Now, I decided to start a new scene file, without any engine.

Just to bring my boat on to the water.
I've used my proxy mesh, imported it into my scene file, scaled it, and used RESET XFROM.

I think before I should use the ENGINE, I should get sure,that my boat interacts with the water, like a boat should do normally: it should swim on the sea.

after that I will go to use the engine.
hmm, but my boat is still sinking, and now I really recognized everything.

I can't figure out the problem, or which settings I do have wrong.
I've tried to change the weight etc.. ut if it should be real, the boat has about 200kg.

thank ou for every little help,
Bernhard
