ctatlow Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have added a Posky Boeing 747 400 to my fs9 and then added a third party panel to it, which has caused the nose gear to point side ways and be unable to be moved straight. I have tried re downloading it but it still has the same issue with the nose gear. Could anyone help me with this please? Thanks in advance, Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The Poskies use XML gauges to control animations like the nose gear. When you changed the panel you needed to add those gauge callouts to the new panel.cfg and copy the gauges to the new panel folder. BTW, those gauges are probablu just a folder or 2 with some .XML files in them. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

ctatlow Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have added the folder with the .xml files to the panel and then the gauge call outs that reference to each of them including the Posky debug lines as well. Now the nose gear is straight but as soon as it has come to a halt on the runway the nose gear sinks into the ground. Could anyone tell me what I can do to fix this? Thank you for your reply Stringbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 What POSKY 747-400 are you using? The nosewheel contact point may need to be adjusted. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctatlow Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 It 's the B747-400V4_ RB211-524G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It 's the B747-400V4_ RB211-524G. I did the download and install with no additional panel changes. It looks OK sitting on the runway. [ATTACH=CONFIG]180967[/ATTACH] POSKY aircraft will usually have an alternate set of contact points in the aircraft.cfg listed under [Contact Points]. The alternate ones have // in front of them. To use them, delete the // and put // in front of the original ones. It's worth a try! :D Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

ctatlow Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thank you Mr. Zippy for your help, sorry it has taken so long to reply. Changing the contact points has made some improvement the plane now taxis ok and takes off and lands ok, but as soon as you apply the brakes the nose gear sinks into the floor. It then raises back up when the brake is released, but with damage done to the underneath of the plane because of its contact with the runway. Can anyone help me with this? With thanks in advance Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 OK, Charlotte, from the several POSKY 747-400V4 RB211-524G aircraft that I could find, doing a hi-speed taxi test and slamming on the brakes, the nosewheel sunk a tiny bit into the ground then popped up the aircraft nose slightly, with the gear flexing up and down. No damage to the underside of the aircraft. It may be time for another POKSY 747 model. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

RCChopper Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Take a look at these links and scroll down to the post with new contact points. Many people have suggested these new contact points. You do know to backup before making these changes right? http://forums.simviation.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=57446 OR https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?217461-Posky-747-nose-gear-dont-move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCChopper Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I should have also mentioned in my previous post, I remember having nose wheel problems with Posky 747 too. But I don't remember if it was not turning, was always sideways, or sinking into the ground. But I did find a fix file back then. b747-v4_opensky_fix. This is what the readme in it says... Fix for: PROJECT OPENSKY BOEING 747-300-400 Passenger V4. this New (aircraft.cfg) file for all PROJECT OPENSKY BOEING 747-300-400 Passenger V4 fix the difficulty you have to turn with these aircrafts when you move on the taxiway.

ctatlow Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks for everyone's help. Posky Boeing 747 is now fixed. It needed the second set of contact points in the aircraft.cfg and then RCChopper's recommendation to the forums.simviation.com link was helpful for strengthening the nose gear to stop it sinking when braking.

Vesper Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi, I've got the same problem with collapsing nose wheel into the ground with Posky 747-200/Ready for pushback marge. I'm trying different contact points sets but without success. Could you ctatlow write what you exactly done o fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCChopper Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Could you ctatlow write what you exactly done o fix it? I thought he described fairly well what he did to fix it, did you try the fix file he referenced and I had posted about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I thought he described fairly well what he did to fix it, did you try the fix file he referenced and I had posted about? Charlotte explained what she did to fix it in post#13, a combination of new contact points and readjusting the the dampening effect on the nose gear.

Vesper Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yes, she did. I was interested what values she used in dampening effect. RCChopper I have tried your contact points but they haven't worked for me. I manage to solve problem by myself, anyway thank you for your response.
