when i put the helicopter in the sky it stays there until i start the track then it drops to the ground. the same with the vulture and the lighthouse house. now the helicopter stays in the air if i dont use the one that the blade turns. thanks levi

Howdy. I think you're setting them to 'moving' in Traxx, which you shouldn't do. That type is for trains and the like and will always snap to ground level. Generally speaking you should set animated models to non-collide, if anything.

A moving object (train) can be rotated like any object but it's speed and direction are based on the numerical values you assign to it. Click the 'moving' link in my post above and that should explain it. I'll look forward to seeing your tracks in the future. ;)
