contact points

[Guest maddandy]

I don't know if this might be a stupid question or if I am asking the wrong people but I wanted to know how to fix contact points because two aircraft are giving me some serious problems with them (Erik Cantu's Brasilia and the Premier Aircraft Design Dash 8 300), so can somebody help me please!!!!!!Any form of help would be appreciated

[contact_points]The first three lines: point.0, point.1, and point.2 are the three wheels. The numbers in the these lines mean, in sequence://1 Class//2 Longitudinal Position (feet)//3 Lateral Position (feet)//4 Vertical Position (feet)Make a backup and just adjust the given field.

If I may jump in for a similar question: In the CalClassic Dc6 there is 2 contact points that I have no idea what they are: point.7= 5, -30.90, -5.250, -7.300, 1600, 0, 0.00, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.00, 3.0, 3.2, 0, 0.0, 0.0point.8= 5, -30.90, 5.250, -7.300, 1600, 0, 0.00, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.00, 3.1, 3.5, 0, 0.0, 0.0gear_system_type=0I've never heard of a '5' value.Jim

Contact points can be seen if you assign the nav lights to the contact points. It's a neat trick to check your contact points and see where they really are as a test.

Hi,They are water rudder points, used to extend the landing lights. You must have them in the cfg if you use the water rudder variable for the animation.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

So, your secret to lowering the landing lights out of the wing and rotating the light from pointing down to forward - is to make FS think they are water rudders.Very imaginative and cool !!!!!
