floating issue...just AGL

Postby snake36bravo » Sat May 12, 2012 10:38 pm

Does anyone know how I can fix this issue of floating just above the ground? Obviously I need to correct something in FSDS 3.5

Thank you for that. I'll see what I can find in the .cfg

Hello Snake36Bravo,

As Andy190 says it is a contact point problem

Hey Johnman,

I'll try resetting the aircraft within FsDs. I'm familiar with editing the *.cfg and have just not the contact points section which honestly looks like a whole mess of numbers I'll need to decipher.

If you look at the aircraft.cfg for the default Bell 206B (under ..\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\) you'll find annotations above the [contact_points] section explaining the values.

Also in the 'fsxsdk.chm' SDK help file under 'Simobject Creation Kit'.

Example from the 206B:

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
