What are ways to reduce part friction and increase sliding?

[OneRubySky]

I have an aircraft on a taxiway and I though I would be able to just add a bodyforce and make the wheels frictionless, but for some reason the plane still isn’t moving and requires a huge amount of force to get it to slide on the ground.

I’ve tried:

• Making wheel collision models (spheres for collision instead of making cylindrical wheels)
• Disabling the bodyforce’s Y component, preventing the plane from forcing itself downwards.
• Making most of the plane massless

What are other ways to help reduce friction between parts?

Have you looked into CustomPhysicalProperties?

There is a property on a part called “CustomPhysicalProperties” Just enable it then you can change the friction using “Friction” and “FrictionWeight”
