POSKY b767 Cruiseliner - backward tilting bogie!

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!
???

??? 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! :o

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

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.
