Bouncing Nose Gear

Postby SHV0151 » Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:53 pm

Just downloaded a new 727-200, its a great model, only one thing. If you make a hard landing, or hit the brakes real hard, the nose gear starts to bounce forever until the plane comes to a complete stop. Is this a problem with the model, or can it simply be fixed with the aircraft.cfg file?


Thanks for any help,

Problem in config file.

You can fix this by adjusting the dampening_ratio (stiffness) of that gear.

Check under the contact points section of the aircraft.cfg for this.
