Hello,
Has anyone besides me noticed that the bogies on this bird tilt the wrong way?? I've contacted POSKY, but no answer. Have a look - it's on top of page 144 in civil jets fs2004 - Boeing767-400 Boeing Cruiseliner.

Thanks to anyone who can fix this!

that bogie is tilting exactly the right way buddy


maybe you were looking inverted

Really???
I wasn't looking at it from the wrong angle-I simply expected the bogie to tilt with the rear axle of the main gear wheels DOWNWARD like  b747's or other large birds! So am I wrong that the front axle of the main gear shoult tilt UPWARDS on a b767?? Looks wierd, but if that's the way they tilt, my apologies!
Thanks for the reply - now I feel like an idiot!

Hi

Here is a picture with landing gear down.

Why does the 67's bogie tilt forwards while almost, if not every other bogies tilt backwards?

Here is another more clearer pic...

Thanks for the link to the Martinair photo, Ashar. I've added it to my slideshow screensaver folder.
No probs, Pete. Thanks for the suggestion to post this one.

Cheers all

When you think about it, as the plane is landing, the nose would be up so the bogies would be 'square' with the ground.

Another anomily for you, the A340 has three sets of main gear like the DC10. The outer two hang as you'd expect but the center one hangs forward like the 767 above.
