August 18, 201015 yr I'm working on merging the PSS panel and FDE with the Overland model for the A321- I've gotten the contact points to line up so all the wheels are firmly on the ground. The only problem I'm having is that when I apply the brakes, the nose gear really compresses and the nose lurches downward. Once I've gotten the contact points to correspond with the wheels, how do I go about toning down the compressibility of the nose gear? The static compression is set to 0.5, and I get this problem even with adjusting the compression ratio to 1.01. As far as I can tell, with that compression ration, the nose gear should have barely any compression at all, yet when I apply the bakes the nose still lurches down.any ideas?thanks.[contact_points]point.0=1, 54.80, 0.00, -15.11, 1500, 0, 1.25, 60.12, 0.50, 2.1, 0.8135,11.0, 13.2, 0, 0.0, 0.0point.1=1, -3.95, -11.58, -16.06, 2200, 1, 2.15, 0.00, 1.51, 2.0, 0.7470, 9.7, 14.1, 2, 0.0, 0.0point.2=1, -3.95, 11.58, -16.06, 2200, 2, 2.15, 0.00, 1.51, 2.0, 0.7470, 9.7, 14.1, 3, 0.0, 0.0point.3=2, -14.17, -47.33, -6.00, 787.4, 0, 0.000, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5, 0.0, 0.0point.4=2, -14.17, 47.33, -6.00, 787.4, 0, 0.000, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 6, 0.0, 0.0point.5=2, -54.00, 0.00, -4.83, 787.4, 0, 0.000, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 9, 0.0, 0.0point.6=2, 42.67, 0.00, -9.75, 787.4, 0, 0.000, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4, 0.0, 0.0
