Does anyone know how I can fix this issue of floating just above the ground? Obviously I need to correct something in FSDS 3.5

Hey Johnman,

I'll try resetting the aircraft within FsDs. I'm familiar with editing the *.cfg and have just not the contact points section which honestly looks like a whole mess of numbers I'll need to decipher.

If you look at the aircraft.cfg for the default Bell 206B (under ..\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\) you'll find annotations above the [contact_points] section explaining the values.

Also in the 'fsxsdk.chm' SDK help file under 'Simobject Creation Kit'.

Example from the 206B:
