Hello,

When requesting help please remember to include the complete (????????.zip) name of the file which you downloaded (and where you found it) so we can check it out before attempting to offer advice.

AFAIK it's a payware addon

If it is indeed a payware item then it seems logical (at least to me) to seek assistance from the source where it was purchased.

I note there are a number of free patches available for download at the source site - perhaps one of them addresses the issue.

It seems the problem is the vertical position of the nose gear.Enter the [contact_points] in your aircraft.cfg and edit the //3 value of nose gear(point.0) to give him an higher position.

Hello,

what do you mean by that?

Contact points from the default C172

//0 Class
//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

The BOLD value is the position of the nose wheel (height)
So you can change those values for adjusting contact points .. scrape .. lights retract-deploy times .. etc .. when you know were they are ...
