Don't panic. You just need to edit the contact points in each aircraft.cfg file.

Do a search on contact points because it's been answered loads of times and come back if you don't find it.

Note: you can only edit the aircraft.cfg for that AI aircraft to meet the ground, for AI ONLY.  For online games, if you see a cessna 20ft off the ground, don't panic, that person is flying an aircraft that you do not have in your aircraft list.   Yet another Microsoft bug (I collect bugs   ::)).  

You can't do anything to fix it, except download all the available aircraft on the web and install to your hopefully massive harddrive, which I suspect no one in their right minds would do..  

I once saw a Cessna172 do a flyby over my head at Mach 2, because he was flying the X-Wing..  Of course, that aircraft, never touched the ground, in my simulator..

The Zone, Please. VATSIM beats the zone by a milestone

Is that the right expression. Look at me talking, not knowing if that's how you say it

You're right, in SOME areas, they do.  However, you can't fly like most people do to get the effect of a cessna flying right over you doing 1000kts+ in VATSIM.   :P

Anyways, VATSIM is too formal and takes too much time to get in.  At least on the Zone ATC games, things are faster (connectivity-wise).. psh
