I have developed a technique to show tire compression under weight or load.

I sure am, I've had a thought and was interessted in taking this challenge on, I will be welcome to read your instructions for this. Does the wheel actually compress while on taxi or is that just for park, I'm thinking it's a XML file but dunno And thank's for all the work you've done Milton. ;D

Directly.  There's no "hocus pocus" involved.... just two additional "x_gear_is" and "x_gear_is" parts, linked to the x_gear_nnn compression part.

The two _is and _os parts simply "hide" inside the tire part until about frame 120 and then they are keyframed to maximum lateral expansion at about 180, with "static" bulging at frame 150.

The beauty and brilliance of it is that if you look at it in the modelling program, it looks like a pasted on "sabrina" .... but in FS it looks natural.!!

Excellent, Mr. Milton!  This is a great idea, and I'm surprised it's so simple . . . although most brilliant ideas are . . . ;)

Great Invention!!!!  :o :o :o :o :o
Is this technique compatible to both FS2004 and FSX ?

If there is an modelling techniques award you'll have it!  ;)
