October 7, 200322 yr Hello,I'm not sure if I've double-posted this or not - my connection is playing up so apologies if I have.I was wondering if someone could kindly post here the [CONTACT POINTS] section of the default DC-3's aircraft.cfg file please?I seem to have lost a few lines which makes the ground unable to see my wheels... hence every landing is a crash-landing!Thanks in advance,Paul Martin
October 7, 200322 yr Sorry... the section that I'm after is (contact points)The text didn't seem to appear in my original post!Paul
