Nessim:

I've done what I can and it's not much. The nosegear's compression isn't modeled visually, so it won't react to the aircraft's motions.

What I did was reduce the compression by about 70 % - it has a lot of movement; kinda looked like a busted shock to me. ;) It has a tendancy to 'gallop' on the ground. So I reduced that, changed the height position of the wheel so it sits firmly on the ground and shouldn't rise or sink too much under heavy braking/accelleration. Here's the fix:

point.0= 1.000, 9.917, 0.000, -6.95000, 1574.803, 0.000, 0.632, 37.140, 0.199, 2.500, 0.407, 5.000, 5.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000

In your .cfg, go down to [Contact Points] and replace the first line with the one I just gave you. It should solve your problem. :)

No sweat. That's what I'm here for. :)

If I may offer a suggestion; you have the original,  now you have a fix and you can see how the adjustments affect the performance. While adjusting files aren't everyone's bag, you can use this as a bit of a primer to start making you own adjustments to your aircraft - it's much more fun and satisfying than having to ask others. Just so long as you backup first you can do just about anything (Mach 2 Cessna? Done it... ;D ) and learn a lot in the process. :)

Cheers!
