Taildraggers

Why do I have the problem of the main wheels sinking into the runway on rotation, just before take-off ?  (FS2002)

Does it "sit" correctly on idle/when stopped?

Possibly your compression ratio needs adjustment, tire radius, etc.

Thank you Felix.  Yes, it sits perfectly well before take-off and after landing, when stopped.  If you have to make the adjustments that you have mentioned, where do you do this ?

[Felix/FFDS]

This is in the aircraft.cfg file - contact points.

Thank you.  It doesn't really help very much.  I knew it sould be somewhere in the .cfg file.

[Felix/FFDS]

Too bad it doesn't help much.  I am replying from work, and do not have all the documentation - specifically the Aircraft Container SDK that describes all the values in the contact points section.

It may be you have too much gear compression travel, or the compression ratio is too soft, a combination of tire radius parameters, and it may be something completely different.
