If this is just one plane and it does it at more than 1 air port then the problem is with the contact points in the aircraft cfg file. These points define how a plane sits on the ground. Sorry I can not tell you more I do not know a lot on plane design. May be rollerball can help you with this.
  If this happens with alot of planes and only at 1 airport you have a scenery problem. The elevation is not set right.

If it's really happening to all your planes it's more likely to be a scenery problem. It used to happen to me when passing a specific point of some airport's runway (don't remember wich one)!
Try another airport and tell us what happens.
And like gary said, the fix is up to scenery and plane designers!

Devo I would definetely take out the enviromental package. It has obivously effected the way scenery is displayed. I hope that removing it solves your problem 8) If it does not the only way I know of to correct it is to unistall & reinstall FS. I will keep my fingers crossed for you LOL 8)
Where did you find that download at I have never heard of it.

If you're talking about the AEM package, it only changes textures and doesn't affect .bgl or aircraft files in any way, so it's not the package. Try reinstalling FS. This seems to be our last hope!
Good luck  Wink

Sorry devo - it's not at all clear what you are saying.

Do the wheels sink into the ground
Does the whole aircraft sink into the ground
Does the tail just go into the ground when you rotate
Does it happen when the aircraft are moving or stationary
Does it happen on the apron/taxiway/runway

Sinking can mean so many different things! Sorry, the guys need the info to help! Wink

Devo

I've had this problem but mainly with prop jobs and
rarely with jets.
If your problem is similar to what I've experienced the
a/c will act like it is sinking into the tarmac if you let
it go too to far past it's listed liftoff in kph without
pulling on the stick. As an example if the Lear should
lift at aprox 120kts and you don't give it any
assistance whatsoever if may drive itself downward
instead of upward. With some prop jobs you have
to able to spot this immediately you see it
happening.

What you are describing sounds like a result of over rotation. Inother words you are pulling up to much. If the plane is propperly trimed up it will take off by itself with little or no pulling back on the yoke.You also must have crash detection turned off otherwise you would crash. Are you using the autopilot to take off with ???. Wait untill you are airborn to engage autopilot. 8)
