SimViation2003,

It should be just a matter of editing the [contact_points] in the aircraft.cfg file.

Below is an example taken from the default B737:

[contact_points]

point.0=1,  40.00,   0.00, -8.10, 1181.1, 0, 1.442, 55.92, 0.8, 2.5, 0.9, 4.0, 4.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0

point.1=1,  -7.75,  -8.58, -8.68, 1574.8, 1, 1.442,  0.00, 1.0, 2.5, 0.9, 6.9, 6.9, 2, 0.0, 0.0

point.2=1,  -7.75,   8.58, -8.68, 1574.8, 2, 1.442,  0.00, 1.0, 2.5, 0.9, 7.1, 7.1, 3, 0.0, 0.0

For each of those lines of data, the first value is a "1", meaning its a wheel.  The third value after the "1" is the vertical position of the wheel.  In this case all are positioned at -8.xx.

Find the corresponding values for your aircraft and make them more negative by about 0.40 feet.  In other words, if they are now -6.40, change them to -6.80.

Save the changes and see what the bird looks like. Chances are about 100% that it won't look right the first time, so just keep experimenting.

If the negative direction doesn't work, go the other way.

Good luck,
JerryH

Thanks JH,

I tried your suggestion and it worked.

Took a bt of fiddling around with the numbers, but after 5-6 attempts, its sitting flat on the ground.

I appreciate the advice
