Hi Dan, I have no idea on how to get a picture fore you to see.But Im perty sure if you taxi the md11 and hit the brakes you see that he nose tires will sink halve way in the groundand the nose strut have no compression.

Hi Fernando,Actually we won't fully see that because you are experiencing an issue apparently, and one that neither I nor Dan (I don't think) is having. One part is it sounds like you may not have "Advanced Animations" checked in FSX's display settings. The other is that the gear will at times partially sink into the rwy on ANY aircraft. It isn't a PMDG issue, it's FS (both versions). I have spent just under a trillion hours doing KBOS over and alot of the hours were to try and figure that issue out.As for taking screenshots...Press the "Printscreen" button on your keyboard. Then open up "Paint" or any other photo editor. Press "CTRL+V" and it will paste what you copied to your clipboard when you pressed "Printscreen". Save that as a jpeg from the file menu and "Save As" option.The other way is to press the "V" key and the picture will go to your My Documents, flight sim pix. The problem there is that it will be saved as a .bmp and the file size will be HUGE. The first method I explained is the best since you can use it for anything and everything and good to lear.Hope this helps,

I found that the AFCAD airport elevation has to be exactly what the airport bgl elevation is, and all surfaces have to at that datum. I've played with it at KSEA and KSFO in the old sceneries I built using the ADE and found success after a fashion.

Good to know Dan, thanks. I also use ADE but took too long a break since the last time I used it. I have done like you said and didn't get much tire sink but I think no matter what, there's always going to be a little, 1/8th tire sinkage or so.Too bad I can't make my runways with actual slope :)That would probably require multiple layers to make it look right and would probably flash like crazy though.

I no sooner get the aircraft tires at surface when an airport vehicle wizzes past with tires sunk into the pavement. What can I say, Microslop, as real as it gets for them.

Damn, I though bituminous runways were a problem - now I got to worry about tyres sinking. Yet alone buildings in mid air. and runways in the sky and big sink holes ROFL.John Ellison
