Some of the planes I've d/loaded wheels disappear into the runway or is above the tarmac. Can this be cured  ??? with editing the airfile. Do  the cog above ground be increased/decreased ?

Hello Chriscgtp51,

Yes it can be cured. It is the reference points in the config file but I am not familiar with how to fix it. I am sure somebody will answer your question soon!  Grin

Hi Chris, well this is how it works. In your aircraft.cfg file you'll find a bit that says;

[contact_points]

point.0=1.00,   7.60,  0.00,  -2.22, 1574.8, 0.0, 0.551195,  35.0, 0.278, 1.75, 0.60, 4.00, 4.00, 0, 0.0, 0.0
point.1=1.00,  -2.48, -5.32,  -2.57, 1574.8, 1.0, 0.745050,  0.0,   0.369, 1.55, 0.50, 5.00, 5.00, 2, 0.0, 0.0
point.2=1.00,  -2.48,  5.32,  -2.57, 1574.8, 2.0, 0.745050,  0.0,   0.369, 1.55, 0.50, 6.00, 6.00, 3, 0.0, 0.0
point.3=2.00,  -0.9,  -17.7,   1.27,   1574.8, 0.00, 0.0000,  0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 5.00, 0.00, 0.00
point.4=2.00,  -0.9,   17,7,   1.27,   1574.8, 0.00, 0.0000,  0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 6.00, 0.00, 0.00
point.5=2.00, -18.04,   0.00,  0.20, 1574.8, 0.00, 0.0000,  0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 4.00, 0.00, 0.00
point.6=2.00,  14.5,   0.00,  -0.84,  1574.8, 0.00, 0.0000,  0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 4.00, 0.00, 0.00

Points 0,1 and 2 are your U/C
The figures after each are as follows;

       //1  Longitudinal Position        (feet)
       //2  Lateral Position             (feet)
       //3  Vertical Position            (feet)
       //4  Impact Damage Threshold      (Feet Per Minute)
       //5  Brake Map                   (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
       //6  Wheel Radius                (feet)
       //7  Steer Angle                         (degrees)
       //8  Static Compression           (feet)  (0 if rigid)
       //9  Max/Static Compression Ratio
       //10 Damping Ratio               (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
       //11 Extension Time              (seconds)
       //12 Retraction Time             (seconds)
       //13 Sound Type
       //14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
       //15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)

So edit the third number in on those (you'll need to increase to raise the height), and you should be fine Wink
