I cant seem to figure why SOME of my ac do a short series of jumps or bucking when I CHANGE VIEWS.Doesnt matter if Im taxi'n or sitting at a gate with a dark cockpit.What causes this.Better yet,how can I prevent this?  :-/

This is because of errors in what are known as the "contact points" in the aircraft's design files.  It can be corrected.  I can't remembner the fix right now... but if you head to the Design section of the forum and look around the Aircraft sub-section and you should see extensive postings in the older threads that answer exactly this issue.

best,

Did you find the answer, Stephan?  I'd be keen to know how to fix this too! :)

...I just wait 'till it all settles down after a short time...and then carry on as usual!... :)...!

It only happens with certain planes/scenery, and I just ignore it... ;)...!

No gents.Haven't found a solution to it.Quit flying it (737-200 if I'm not mistaken/and a couple more).And I too find its only a couple ac and airports that cause this.On my FS9,when I taxi per ATC from the refuelling pumps to Rwy 6R,about half way to the runway on the main taxiway its as if I hit a huge crack.The ac jumps and the tires smoke.This happens to all ac.I have looked at the layout with AFCAD to see if theres a small break in the rwy connection or overlap and I see nothing.I CAN overlook these things,but it DOES detract from the quiet pleasure I get setting alone at the controls and then some weirdness takes place.Being Irish,Scot and Native American,I tend to let little things set me off,and I go from 0 to 60 in a heartbeat.Too bad I dont have some ac that were that fast!If I figure a solution to any of these problems I will jump in here and let y'all know.I'll get at it again tomorrow sometime.//stephan /'Altitude With Attitude!'  8-)

You must pop over to England sometime, Steph...

....we English are fairly laid-back, and tend to let problems like that float gently over our heads, and pass them off as mere irritants to be ignored... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

Paul....ZZZZzzzz...... ;)....!

I'd 'lol' if it wasn't so darned true!Thats why I come to you folks with a lot if not most of my problems.Keeps my foot out of the computer screen!...and,when I say.../'Altitude With Attitude',it's more than a 'jingle'.It's dead on!  8-) My Kingdom for English blood! 8-)

...sorry Steph... ::)....

A study of my Wikipedia Map above, indicates that you are vastly outnumbered by the Germans... ;)...!

...and probably, Me Bf 109's.... :o...!

Paul... ;D...!

P.S...I think I spot a lone African American, up at the top end?... :-?...!

Guess you're right sir.Besides...my Scottish ancesters migrated to Scotland from Germany about 600-800 a.d.,so I imagine my gene pool is to far gone to save.Maybe a nice Mexican infusion (taquilla) introduced to my blood will help settle me down long enough to figure out some of my own sim problems...or  else make them seem less important! Thanx for your consideration!  ;D //stephan  'Altitude With Attitude!'(and a pint!)  ;D 8-)
