Sinking feeling

Postby DieStaffel » Fri Dec 30, 2005 9:25 pm

Greetings.

My planes sit on the ground nicely in CFS1, but the same plane in CFS2 'sinks' into the ground halfway up to its wheels.

I have changed the DP file to have it sit correctly while paused, but once it moves, it sinks again.  I usually tried to fix these in CFS1 in the landing gear or COG or angle, but nothing in my box of tricks works.  

Suggestions please.  I would like to complete these planes for CFS2


Thanks

Greetings,
                 Thanks, after much trial and error I did find that out after posting here.  They sit fine now.

Thanks

Remember, in CFS2 as in FS2002/2004, how the plane "sits" is set in the aircraft.cfg file, not the DP file.
You mean, "...not the .air file," do you not (he's going from CFS1 to CFS2)?
