			typically, BBS (or "Bouncing Betty Syndrome") is attributable to marginal landing gear damping/spring values.  I've seen it especially when using  flight dynamics from an earlier flightsim version.  Due to differences between flightsim versions you can get such annoying happenings...

			"got it sorted" is not an acceptable answer.
What did you do to get it sorted - damping values?  contact points?
Thanks again Felix, got it sorted

			Sorry Felix, 1:00am things were getting fuzzy. It was the damping values. I just softened up the rear landing gear as that was where the bounce was coming from. 
Thanks for the pointer it saved a lot of frustration.
Regards,
Nickname.
