Currently, I am using the 2d surface to surface contact for the collision only because I couldnt get any of the other contacts to work correctly (this probably is not the right way to do it). I tried using the auto_surface_to_surface contact, but there was no collision at all. I was going to try and scale everything up (Its at .001 right now, not sure what units or how to check), but I am not sure how to scale everything up at once, because if I scale up the parachute fabric thickness much more the simulation wont run since the fabric penetrates the other meshes at that scale.
