Hello wanted to say thank you to the updated UKMIL buccaneer as its quite a nice bird and not as of yet crashed or lagged out my FSX like the original version! Having said that there seems to be a problem with the front nose diving all the way and underneath the ground! This seems to happen as I give it more thrust. Just wanted to let the uploader know that and if this is an inherited problem from the original.

Hello,
You can change this line in the aircraft.cfg, section: [contact_points]
point.0= 1, 18.717, 0.000, -9.50, 2500, 0, 1.5, 100.000, 2.0, 2.0, 1.000, 2.500, 2.800, 0, 220,280
As a result, the nose is more stable

Make sure you enter it exactly the you see it here miss or misplace a comma can cause all kinds of problems
the best way to do this is to cut and paste over the existing line.

It looks more like a .mdl problem where the front gear compression is not animated. The only way to fix that is to fix the .mdl.

I take that back, it does look like it is fixable in the .cfg. Even so, it doesn't look like the nose wheel articulates very much when you put on the brakes.

It's 'fixable'. I re-did the cnt pts. There is an inherent 'spongy-ness' aspect to gear compression and that is model problem which I can't fix. But here is what works 'ok' (not perfect, as I said). AND there were 2 left brakes (not right) and weak brakes. So here is the fix for those:

[contact_points]
point.0=1, 16.650, 0.000, -8.500, 2500, 0, 1.5, 90.0, 0.400, 4.5, 1.000, 2.5, 2.8, 0, 220,280
point.1=1, -2.500, -5.500, -8.660, 2500, 1, 2.5, 0.0, 1.900, 1.5, 1.000, 5.7, 5.7, 2, 220,280
point.2=1, -2.500, 5.500, -8.660, 2500, 2, 2.5, 0.0, 1.900, 1.5, 1.000, 5.7, 5.7, 2, 220,280


[brakes]
toe_brakes_scale=2.500 //o=NO Brakes=1.00031
parking_brake=1
auto_brakes=4
differential_braking_scale=0.800

Hope you like. Enjoy.

Thanks guys. Will try the above editing!

I tried it last night, after applying the contact points fix, and found if you leave the parking breaks on the nose buries itself in the runway anyway. Completely by accident of course, lol

I also tested hard landing with parking brake on and the nose wheel DID NOT bury itself. Just to be clear... the 'fix' is for the Buccaneer model uploaded by Philippe Wallert, here at SimV on Nov 21, 2017. The 'fix' will NOT work on just any Buccaneer. Even on other UKMIL Buccaneers (ie: different model).
