Why does some of my planes sink into the ground upon landing? Any fix for this?

Sinking into the ground usually indicates that the contact points are set incorrectly in the aircraft.cfg, and it can be edited to fix the problem, but I dont remember exactly how it is done, maybe someone else can advise you on adjusting the contact points....

Or the runway's just been relaid and isn't set yet. Did you see any angry workmen after you landed? ;)

On a serious note, is it a default or addon airport? The actual runway height can be a bit off sometimes.

...or an addon scenery may also cause the problem.
