In combination with your AI-airfile the plane now flies and taxies perfectly. The handling during rotation and touchdown are actually better then in the original version. I keep it that way now until I find out why it goes out of control when I use whose values with the normal Airfile.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294964828939722177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-24955554291272366012010-08-19T04:00:47.773+02:002010-08-19T04:00:47.773+02:00Thanks for the info, Martin.

I'll inlcude this .cfg in the next update (along with the current one).ScimmiaSpazialehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185511694079000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-56232301304976243072010-08-18T13:26:51.846+02:002010-08-18T13:26:51.846+02:00I have tested it a little bit further und compared...I have tested it a little bit further und compared the aircraft.cfg with others I have. In most tricycle-jetplanes the Center of Gravity seems to be around 1 to 3 feet in front of the rear undercarrige. So I set the CoG and the position of the tanks and loadpoints to an point 2 feet in front of the rear undercarrige. The plane now handles perfectly on the ground. No micro-oscillations whatsoever. Unfortunate it goes quickly out of control if give some rudder while flying. Guess I stick with the original values for now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294964828939722177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-73383885234869161942010-08-18T11:57:15.047+02:002010-08-18T11:57:15.047+02:00Thanks, good tip.

I'll try moving the load points slightly.ScimmiaSpazialehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185511694079000055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343953541946550800.post-66239379304724380192010-08-17T20:59:39.843+02:002010-08-17T20:59:39.843+02:00Bought the plane today and like it alot.I noticed ...Bought the plane today and like it alot.I noticed through trail and error that the micro-oscillations disappears completely if you remove all weight from the hardpoints except the pilot and leave all tanks except the ones in the wings empty. Maybe it is rather a weight-distribution then a contactpoint-problem.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294964828939722177noreply@blogger.com
