How Do I Adjust Height of Aircraft ????

[Guest]

If anyone in this forum knows how to adjust the overall height of an aircraft, so the tires are firmly on the ground please let me know. I usually use AirEd for editing parameters in air files.I have done it in the past but its been a long time.ThanksAndy

Hi Andy,I believe that this is the variable "contact_points" in the aircraft.cfg file. This file over-rides a lot of the .air file variables. If it's one specific a/c that you have trouble with, you might want to try copying this section into your current .cfg file (from the source .cfg file from the author), over-writing the current section. backing up the file first, of course.Bruce.

I appreciate the advice but it has to do with a Mike Stone B727 at the new CYUL scnenery. The aircraft sits normal at other locations but for some reason it is floating at this airport. If I do change these contact points which ones contol the landing gear.Thanks

I wish I could help more, but I'm already out of my depth with this subject! :) The contact points answer I gave I don't think will help you. Is the airport you refer to a default or 3rd party one? If the latter, I'd contact the author. Sorry I can't be of any more help.Bruce.Edit: I've just been to CYUL with the same B727, and mine is OK. Then I realixed that CYUL is Montreal, and I wonder if you have the add-on installed for that airport (it was here at AVSIM earlier this week). It is possible (although I'm not suggesting) that you have a "floating runway", although I'm not sure how to fix it. I haven;t seen them for a while, but used to be constant issues in FS98, as I recall. Good luck. Bruce.

Bruce I am using the CYUL 3rd party Scenery that I downloaded this week. I also use a yeo-design 737-200 and that plane behaves fine. I am noticing other AI planes leaving a smoke cloud on the runway that seems to just stay there. I think I am going to remove CYUL and dress it up using FSSE utilizing the default textures in FS2K2.Thanks Bruce
