Ifly 747-400 bouncing around on the tarmac and pmdg 747-400 display

[gastoff]

Hello, great flying people out there.

i have a problem with ifly747-400,SP 3 installed also sid and star package.

it bounces up and down some times when its on the tarmac.when its waiting to get people onboard. even when the plane is fully dark and cold.

it mostly happend when i switch view from inside to outside.
<2d cockpit to spot> sometimes it jumps that high that the plane dive nose down in to the ground??

what is wrong or did i do something wrong?

the only mods i use when flying is fs maps and fs pasengers.

i have used pmdg 747-400 - queen of sky before but that plane don't jump only the displays after dark and cold it jumps on 10 seconds and after that it stays dark forever. but they are still running

i only tell its with the Cargo version of the 747-400 thats messing things up....

You are not doing anyone any "favors" by withholding a "fix" you may have found. 

Sharing information is what forums are all about.

Gastoff, The problem with your aircraft is it's re-loading itself in 'Static height' position and then jumping to 'Wheel Height' position. The only fix I know of is to adjust the static height to match the wheel height. This may take some tweeking in your aircraft.cfg file.
Start the sim with another aircraft, hit pause 'P', change to the problem aircraft via the toolbar. Remain on pause and view the plane. If it is hovering above the tarmack adjust the static height slightly down, if the wheels are sinking in the concrete adjust static height up. When you release pause the plane should bounce into the correct position, that is 'Wheel Height' (assuming the wheel height is set correctly).

On this FS9 default 747-400 the nose wheel is at -17.5 and the main wheels at -21.3
Like I say, it takes some tweeking to get it right.

I hope this helps or maybe someone else has something helpful to add. Good Luck.

P.S. Maybe you should remain in cockpit view while your passengers board to prevent any injuries.
