Hello all

I’m looking for some help to stop jittering aircraft. I am desperately trying to release a new model and fix an already released model from destructively bouncing around the tarmac. Both aircraft were initially fine but then began to shudder and back there tail when taxiing or breaking to a halt. I have tried a few remedies but would really appreciate a fresh perspective.

Thanks,

Nickname.

typically, BBS (or "Bouncing Betty Syndrome") is attributable to marginal landing gear damping/spring values. I've seen it especially when using flight dynamics from an earlier flightsim version. Due to differences between flightsim versions you can get such annoying happenings...

Thanks Felix,

This is an area I have not looked at, as it is kind off confusing but I’ll have a stab at it now.

Tanks,

"got it sorted" is not an acceptable answer.

What did you do to get it sorted - damping values? contact points?

Sorry Felix, 1:00am things were getting fuzzy. It was the damping values. I just softened up the rear landing gear as that was where the bounce was coming from.
Thanks for the pointer it saved a lot of frustration.
