I have the same problem. When I start with 747 then it's nose is eaven inside terminal (depends on airport). Of course I always check haevy ramp/gate only for big planes. It happens in all airports with all aircrafts. Is there a way to change those offsets for all airports ?

Is there a way to change those offsets for all airports ?

Yes. One at a time... :(

Another 2 year old post???

Yes. One at a time... :(

Well. Let's leave all those poor airports :) Maybe there are some settings of plane's initial position in XYZ of course not affecting physics. I think this problem is about aircraft too because there is a big difference in offset in default 747 and PMDG 747 so that's why I think it depends on aircraft settings. Maybe I'm wrong ? Maybe I should finally go to sleep ?

(All of these numbers are based upon the contact points settings in the aircraft.cfg. They should be very close to the visual. Occasionally main gear contact points need to be moved aft of the visual gear because of how FS does weight and balance. But I do not think this is the case on any of these.)

I like RFields and Bartchie's replies, as they mean way less work (As far as adjusting the aircraft contact point properties). Could anyone decipher which point could be the line to change (ie nosewheel setting) Here is the cfg settings from my virtual airline's livery stable of the MD-81...
