October 26, 200322 yr I have to say it's one of the best planes I have scene. I like everything about it accept when sitting on the runway. It bounces about like it's wings are filled with helium or something. Is there anyone else with this difficulty. Also it doesn't roll down the runway well. It can't be the runways fault. I've tried adjusting the realism setting but still it bounces. Please help I really do like this bird and don't wish to send it to the recycler..No doubt about it...Ronson2k
October 26, 200322 yr The new version for fs2k4 has this line missing {weight_and_balance} from the aircraft.cfg file. See below:{weight_and_balance} <- THIS LINE IS MISSING use brackets, not { }// ACM V1.0 pl4 i1max_gross_weight=2200empty_weight=1500reference_datum_position=1.8, 0, 0empty_weight_CG_position=-1.5, 0, 0empty_weight_roll_MOI=1800.000000empty_weight_pitch_MOI=3500.000000empty_weight_yaw_MOI=1400.000000empty_weight_coupled_MOI=0.000000max_number_of_stations=1station_load.0=170, -1.71,0,0station_load.1=0, 0.0, 0.0, 0station_load.2=0, 0.0, 0, 0Because the line is missing, FS2K4 will write another {weight_and_balance} below it. Insert the line above that is missing in brackets, not { }, remove the new section that FS2K4 inserted, and it should work. It did for me. I hope that this helpsrrroberttt
October 28, 200322 yr Hey Guys,Sorry your having problems with bouncing. The weight and balance header is not missing as mentioned by Robert, but is sitting just beneath the previous "General" information section. Some how the line space was omittted. I just tried it with no problem.I have had a couple of people mention similar problems, and I suggested deleting the current Legacy2000 file, and reinstall. All have advised reinstalling worked. Some have gone so far as to downlaod a new copy. Again with favorable results. You don't have the FS2002 version installed in FS9 do you? Make sure you only have one version installed.I have a slightly revised aircraft.cfg version which is being tested which offers a little more power and better ground handling. If anyone wants to try it drop me an e-mail at the address provided in the doc's and I will send it to you.RegardsBob C.
October 28, 200322 yr No I D/L'd the Legacy5 I didn't have the previous version installed. Roberts solution worked anyway. I didn't want to the D/L the aircraft again. You should post the updated CFG for the aircraft though sounds like a great idea and not that large a file.I enjoy flying the plane now it handles much better then before I tried Roberts fix. I did see the offending weight_and_balance line up in the first generals listing but didn't remove it at first.Thanks again for making such a fantastic aircraft.No doubt about it...Ronson2k
October 28, 200322 yr "I have a slightly revised aircraft.cfg version which is being tested which offers a little more power and better ground handling."More power you say? Well, that doesn't sound bad at all. Don't do anything with the ground handling... works perfect for me.And check your mail, Bob. :-)
