    I created my own part for a fancy car. But when I put it on, it falls off and loses its rigidity. If you stop time, you can see that the part has the correct shape and is in the right place. But then it just falls off and becomes some kind of liquid. It also weighs 100 kg and takes the shape of the model I used to make the jbeam. Please help me

    There isn’t any specified node weight, and there’s no specified beam spring, damp, deform and strength.
    You can read about this stuff here: https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/
    That’s why it weighs so much and behaves weirdly. Also, do you have any beams that help with rigidity and ones that connect the spoiler to the body?

    I'll do as you say. Thanks for the reply. I just watched him in slow motion. Can it behave like this because it is deformed in relation to the trunk? You can see how the trunk bends and the spoiler falls off. He seems to get into the trunk just a little bit, just a little bit.

    It can’t be deformed in relation with the trunk, since it doesn’t use the trunk’s node group, but rather its own. But maybe it dents the truck a bit on its way down. I mean, I’d guess that a 100kg metal bar would dent a car if it hit one :p

    Well you have to press ctrl+N to show node names, then find the ones that are on the trunk, and make beams that connect the two over in the spoiler’s jbeam file’s beams section.

    I tried to do as you said, but it still breaks. Sometimes it remains to hold one end to the trunk
    --- Post updated ---
    The weight seems to have decreased
