Im jumping a vehicle off a ramp...how do I stop it from going thru the ground plane when it lands?!

I guess you mean that your car body penetrates the ground slightly, if so try increasing the fps temporarily (use resimulation from right before the penetration occurs).

A second method would be to animate your high-poly mesh relative to the car.
- Before moving it insert keyframes for it right before the penetration and right after.
- Then move the timeslider to the penetration frame
- Finally move it so it does not penetrate and create a keyframe.

Thanks for the advice..but what is "FPS"???

thanks!

It is frames per second, ie the frame rate.
On how to change it search for it in the max/maya/c4d help.
