Looking for modified "ground contact points"

Featured Replies

It's been a few years since my last FS9 reinstall, but I recall at some point somewhere in the internets finding modified "ground contact points" that allowed all aircraft to have a more realistic relationship with the ground. This was not an individual contact point fix for any specific aircraft, if I recall correctly it was more related to weight and friction. I rememember something in the description saying that the "fix" changed the way FS handled aircraft handling on the ground. I do remember that after installing the fix, I had better ground handling, braking action and idle thrust seemed to be where it should be when before it wasnt really there at all. I recall that supposedly on the ground, FS treats aircraft as though they were much heavier than they actually are and this fix made the ground relationship more realistic, which it definitely did seem to do. All I can find when I try to search for this are things relating to aircraft specific contact points which this thing I am referring to definitely was not. Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone?

HiAre you not maybe referring to the SIM1.dll module ?This does improve ground handling and taxiing as it improves the whole friction problem.Do a search here on AVsim for the file or PM me and I can send it to you.Trevor
