airbus777 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I have the Posky 747-400 v4. When I try taxiing on the ground using my rudder, the plane can only turn a tiny bit before the aircraft sides dip. For instance, if I want to turn right, I can turn right only slightly, and if I turn any more, the entire right side of the airplane will dip downwards to the ground. I'm unfamiliar with aircraft.cfg manipulation, so I don't even know which values to adjust. Any advice on how to allow the aircraft to taxi normally will be appreciated.

mrzippy Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 As with most POSKY aircraft, there are always a complete set of alternate contact points. in the aircraft.cfg file. The second set have // in front of each point. Remove the // for all of them and put // in front of the other ones. I did test these points for rudder steering and it did fine for left and right turns. A couple of main-mounts wheels may need some further adjustment for vertical height. Example below: [contact_points] //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
