F-35 STOL Landing Problem

Recommended Posts

Dino's F-35 works wheel for me with one exception.

 

CTOL and VTOL landings go well; but, every time I attempt a STOL landing, I end up with a nose wheel crash -- as if the nose wheel collapsed.

 

What am I missing?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Use less pitch-up attitude at a STOL landing; i.e. land with a higher airspeed.

 

Background:

This is caused because my STOVL module implementation releases vertical speed control at a STOL landing, causing the nosegear to drop too fast when pitch attitude is too high (given the flightmodel and contact points definition of the F35B).

 

If you want to make it less critical (without disabling CrashDetection), you can make the nosegear "stronger": in the aircraft.cfg of the F35B, increase the Impact Damage Threshold of the nosegear, by changing the 5th parameter of point.0= in the ContactPoint section from 1000 to e.g. 3000.
