I made a couple of updates to Erick's aircraft.cfg file for the 737-200 to fix the nose down problem we all were seeing when the aircraft was sitting on the ground... Just overwrite the 'contact points' section in the 'aircraft.cfg' file with the data below: (contact_points) //0 Class <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float> //1 Longitudinal Position (feet) //2 Lateral Position (feet) //3 Vertical Position (feet) //4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute) //5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right) //6 Wheel Radius (feet) //7 Steer Angle (degrees) //8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid) //9 Max/Static Compression Ratio //10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped) //11 Extension Time (seconds) //12 Retraction Time (seconds) //13 Sound Type //14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS) //15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)point.0=1, 39.00, 0.00,-7.05, 1181.10, 0, 2.25, 57.0, 1.00, 2.50, 0.75, 5.20, 5.20, 0, 200, 280 //nose gearpoint.1=1, 0.85, -8.95,-8.90, 1574.80, 1, 3.33, 0.0, 1.00, 2.50, 0.75, 6.90, 6.90, 2, 200, 280 //left gearpoint.2=1, 0.85, 8.95,-8.90, 1574.80, 2, 3.33, 0.0, 1.00, 2.50, 0.75, 7.10, 7.10, 3, 200, 280 //right gearpoint.3=2,-11.00,-48.50, 1.90, 1574.80, 0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 5, 000, 000 //left wingpoint.4=2,-11.00, 48.50, 1.90, 1574.80, 0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 6. 000, 000 //right wingpoint.5=2,-52.00, 0.00, 7.25, 1574.80, 0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 9. 000, 000 //tail (set for hstab tips which extend beyond fslge)point.6=2, 53.25, 0.00, 1.25, 1574.80, 0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 4. 000, 000 //nosepoint.7=2,-32.00, 0.00,-0.50, 1574.80, 0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 4, 000, 000 //aft fuselage scrapestatic_pitch= -1.00static_cg_height=8.8gear_system_type=0Now if only someone could find a solution as to why the nose of this plane is pitched so high at cruise level flight (28+ thousand feet). The real bird's nose doesn't sit that high when at cruiseing altitude... Changing the "wing_incidence=" and "htail_incidence=" doesn't do squat in FS2k4...

Just what the Dr ordered! Thanks! :)

Thanks a million Dillon. Now I won't get exhausted "climbing" to my last row seat during boarding. Looks perfect -- just the right amount of tire compression.-------------------Racartronit means something, but I just can't remember what

increase the cruise lift scalar under the flight tuning section of the cfg. This helps with the cruise pitch.Brian

the 737 is and always was a plane designed for the short to medium haul market. 734 itself is only certified to cruise at FL360 max. on full fuel tanks, taking her up to 28,000 ft straight will yield a higher angle of attack.

**BUMP** Just in case anyone missed this info...

Nice one Dillon - ThanksBest RegardsBoone,[email protected]"Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle. It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes."
