Bouncing Effect when Landing

Postby McLovin » Tue Mar 15, 2005 8:52 pm

I have got the Perfect Flight AH-1 Super cobra and When I land softly or Normal it tends to bounce me 30 ft in the air. If anyone has info on how to fix it..that would be great thanx.

This tells me your airspeed is still too high. If you can bounce, you still have some lift.

I hope you're aware of that we are talking about a helicopter here  :)

Nope, no clue. So, now I'm thinking the contact points may be off a bit. Thanks for pointing that out. Does make a little bit of difference.

Try setting the crash detection slider in the aircraft settings a bit more to the left...that should help...

if your sim is set to ignore crash you will bounce off if you hit the ground at crashing speed (the limit depends on the aircraft, it might be off on this one)

see if ignore crash is not turned on, if it still crashes, try turning down the crash detection...

it is possible that this aircraft was built on lower settings, so if you have it turned up it would be extremely fragile...

just a theory... ::)

I've noticed that turning down the slider helps with floatplanes too!
