Thanks


The wheels are almost completely underground!

Whats the problem?

I was going to say the  same thing: What's the problem?  I didn't see anything at first, then I noticed the tires.
It doesn't seem too noticeable, why worry about it?

Oh, i see it now.

The problem is the sunken wheels.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Yes I (and I' sure several others do to!  )  do.

You need to edit your aircraft.cfg.  Look for the contact_points section, and edit the "0", "1" and "2" lines.  Change the "-12.666667" (the forth number in each line) to "-13.666667".

The rear bogies will still be tipped in an odd angle, though.  I haven't figured that out yet, but it looks a hell of a lot better than it does without the adjustments

Nobody saw the note at the bottom?

Come to think of it... I have a B-1 for FS9 that never flew right... Wonder if I can just take the contact points from that and apply them here. I did that for the afterburner and it worked great!

That's possible.  Compare the numbers.  There may be issues the same way there are effect issues: something getting lost in the translation.    :P

Im gonna give it a go, and let you know how it works out.

Also wanna figure out why the flaps dont extend. But that another topic!

Yup.  Good luck!  Don't forget to back up your original .cfg! (Not that you needed to be reminded!  )

The FS9 needs a little tweakage too.  It's config calls out four textures, yet the package only has two, and at that only one works.  I'm going to get a big class of tea, and fix that!

I didn't have too much trouble flying it (The FS9), though it is a bit wobbly on take-off.

here we go. much better, but can still use a slight bit of tweaking. I just completely replaced the contact points section.



and heres the points

Looks cool!  Probably go about another -.8 or so on rear.  The front doesn't look too bad.

Did you have texture probls on the FS9 B-1?  I got that straightened out, if you want it.

Which lines coorespond with the rear wheels?

No, the textures were fine for me. It just didnt fly well with the wings in the forward position. On takeoff, the rear would come off the ground before the nose.

point.1=1, -17.52,  -7.46, -13.63, 15000, 1, 1.530,  0.00, .5, .5, .92, 12.0, 12.0, 2, 280, 310
point.2=1, -17.52,   7.46, -13.63, 15000, 2, 1.530,  0.00, .5, .5, .92, 12.0, 12.0, 3, 280, 310

point 1 and 2.  Plug the bold vlues in.  Point "0" probably could be changed to -13.00 to bring it up just a tad more.

Cool that it was easy for you.
