pck42 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Lately when I start a flight, my plane drops onto the runway (jolt) like it was a foot or two off the ground. FS 2020 Help! pck42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Sounds like contact points or an addon airport scenery that doesn't match the elevations? :confused: KiloWatt snuck past me! :eek: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

pck42 Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Give us a clue, then - which plane and which airport? Hi Tiger, Your response gave me a clue. Would it happen with other aircraft? Turns out NO. Only the 208B Grand Caravan EX. OK, so would it happen at other airport? Turn out YES. So I think I got an airplane.config problems. Maybe, but i can't find a line item that would addess the issue. Tried slew mode with F1 key before hitting "Ready to Fly". No luck. Any ideas? pck42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 If you're not using the C208B improvement mod from flightsim.to, you should be: https://flightsim.to/file/8060/cessna-208b-grand-caravan-ex-improvement-mod This mod fixes a number of issues with the default plane.

pck42 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 OK Folks, Solved the problem by editing the "flight_model.cfg" file. Line item was Contact points. Default is 7.?? feet from Center of Gravity. Changed this to 5 feet and all is good. I know it is wrong but (haha) love to tinker around. Thanks for all your help! pck42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
