I have FS9.I love Camsim AC.Downloaded their Biz jet and noticed that when I taxied to the runway,as I rounded corners,the craft 'slid around the corner as if on ice,rather than an acurate front gear steering.I looked at the contact points from the Camsim Phenom 300 as an example,but couldnt get anywhere with it.Not asking for a detailed repair answer (tho it would be nice).Just need to know what line to work on,or where to start.Thanx a bunch for any help.

Afternoon Sir.When I'm in SPOT view,looking down I notice as I round corners,my craft doesnt seem to be steering with front wheel only.It's as if it steers in Crab mode like the B-52.Looks similar to watching these kids in their fast little cars 'drifting'.As if I'm slipping around the corner on ice,but at taxi speed.If I'm not being clear enough,I'd behappy to try and re-explain.Thanx Cap'n! stephan//Altitude With Attitude!

Hello Col.;
The ac is (once unzipped and entered into FS9 AC folder) CamSim Biz Jet C20.Its a twin engine concept.Black over white fuselage.A 10 passenger AC.I am using a Saitek AV8R-01 flight stick controller.This is the first CamSim that I have the drift steering occur.But not the only ac.Out of about 125 ac in my hangar,only about 5 do this at the most. I used the Simviation search and came up with this address...

I ran the link and it works...its the FS9 version.Nuff info,Sir?.Thanx.stephan//Altitude With Attitude  Hope to hear from you.

Thanx so much Col. I'll see if I can figure out the point settings,and stuff.Ya'll out there keep me in mind still!I aint good at this tweeking stuff! I simply punch in numbers here and there and hope for the best! Thanx again! stephan //Altitude With Attitude! 

Col.
I thank you so much,Sir.I dont doubt the info you furnished me with.I will give it a shot.When I get assistance like this,I try to see how and why it works...then try to apply that reasoning to other ac.All part of the learning process .
QUESTION for you...
There is explanations for the 15 adjustments that can be made for each line.But I cant find anything to explain what each line represents.I know 1 is wheel,2 is scrape and 3 is float.But when there are several lines for 2 and several for 3,I am lost.Is there a document anywhere that describes these lines? This that you have given me so far will be a GREAT help,I know.I thank you for your taking the time to help.With all the simmers with all their questions,we must keep you folks hoppin'. Again,I thank you! stephan // Altitude With Attitude! 

That's disappointing. I set those contact points accurately with a utility named ACM. My tweaks might not be perfect but if you'd used the complete contact points section from my last reply (copy & paste into Aircraft.cfg) you should have noticed a big difference in the ground handling.

Quote:

Points 0, 1 & 2 are the nose, left & right gear respectively.

Points 3, 4, 5 & 6 are Scrape points. These are the points like wing-tips where the airframe would touch the ground if it tips over.

There is a brief explanation of the different variables above the contact points section in all default Aircraft.cfg files.

        //0  Class                        <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float>
        //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)

Note: This is incorrect. It should read

<0 = None, 1 = Wheel, 2 = Scrape, 3 = Skid, 4 = Float, 5 = Water Rudder>

If you do these tweaks while FS is running please remember to select another aircraft after editing is complete. Let it load then select the one you're working on. I find it just as quick to quit FS9 & restart it.
