hello once again,a small annoyance is that the default c172 in FSX Gold always appears to have a flat nosewheel tyre,it seems to be sunk into the surface of the ground,is there anyway of rectifying this?(apart from inflating it!)thanks.benibaz.

Hey you specs are like mine were 6 months ago. I went to Win 7 64 bit. I also had the Radeon 1500 series GPU.

 

You want the C172 to be PERFECT? Ha. Add this line to your cnt pts for nose wheel. Now it's not 'flat'.

point.0 = 1, 0.99, 0.00, -4.18, 1500, 0, 0.5, 22.0, 0.15,2.5, 0.9, 0.0, 0.0, 0

 

Let me know how it went. Oh, make a copy of aircraft.cfg first. Copy the line from here, and paste above the 'old' line. Then put '//' in front of 'old' line and the 'new' line will be the one that the Sim will read and use. Just go 'File' and then 'Save'. Reload the C172 to see the result. When it gets to 20% fuel the wheel might lift a little bit. But maybe not as I also tweaked the compression (nose wheel only). Looks good to me now. Enjoy.
