Posky 767 bounces after landing.

[Double J]

After landing this plane a dozen times I have noticed it bounces after touching down and rolling down the runway, almost as if it does a deep kneebend as it slows down, causes a crash sometimes. Landing smooth, all wheels down then about three seconds later it does a little hop, wheels don't come off the ground but the plane hunches on it's gear. I googled it and found a few references to it but no real fix. 300ER

 

anyone?

I googled 'posky 767 bounces' and a bunch of hits came up, but I'm not sure if some refer to FS2004 or FSX, or which specific model they're talking about. Have a google rummage yourself to see if you can pick up any clues.

Maybe adding a little more dampening to the gear structure for all wheels might help! Looking at the FedEx 767 in the [ContactPoints], the dampening is the 10th entry for each. It states in the legend that the range is between 0 (undamped) to 1(Critically Damped). I would take it closer to 1.

I played with the compression numbers but that makes the plane balance on the rear wheels, and makes the rubber sink into the pavement. I'll try dampening 10th entry. I think it's just the way the gear is modelled, it has a lot of vertical travel so unless you touch it down very very smooth you get a little rebound in the gear. Landing empty solves the problem..throw out all the passengers before landing. ;)

It also helps to land under 140knts and only use about 3/4 flaps max.

Hey I'm just an old chopper guy. There's been more than one time I'd have happily thrown the passengers out! Especially if they were generals who thought they could walk on water!! The fact there were several divers below with SCUBA gear holding them up never occurred to them.
