Here is my problem. My nose gear tires sit correctly on the ground. But when I try braking after landing, the tires sink through the ground up to the wheel rim (But does not crash). I assume this is some sort of compression problem. Here is the contact point for the nose gear:

point.0 = 1.000,  76.500,   0.000, -17.50, 2181.102, 0.000, 1.541,  65.000, 1.100, 0.650, 0.550,  9.000,  9.000, 0.000, 280.000, 300.000


I am trying to figure out which  "Compression" value I have to change. Or do I have to adjust the "Dampening ratio" value? I'm not sure which one to adjust so that the nose wheels do not sink up to the rim when braking. The mains are fine.

Thanks for your help.

If you mean.. that it doesn't "look" like it's compressing properly (and the tire/wheel goes into the ground).. that's usually because the longitudinal number is off. Run it through the grass (set weather for day/summer/clear) and see where the dirt kicks up from. I'll bet it's either in front of, or behind where the models nose-wheel is. Once you get that sorted out.. you can fine tune the compression.
