Powerlines free addon and collisions

Daube

SOH-CM-2025
Hi all,

As most of you might know by now, there is an excellent, highly recommended freeware addon that adds a big part of all the electric pylons in Europe, and also visible powerlines between pylons, like in XP11 for example.
These lines are built in from OpenStreetMap data if I'm not mistaken, so they are pretty accurate.

However, for some reason with many planes (including the DC Design F15 or the default F-18), I can't fly under these lines without crashing into an invisible object. This includes flying in a valley/canyon with the powerline passing like 100m above my plane.
The author of the addon has added collision boxes to these lines, and said the collision box of the aircraft might be too big and collide with the ones of the lines.
Do you also have similar experience ?
