May 27, 201412 yr Commercial Member Gents Looking at the video, everything looks just fine, I did not see any bounce, the minor fluctuations on the radio altimeter during rollout is normal. Best regards Palle If you don't have any issues that is great. Myself and others definitely see a fault with the default static values. Nothing normal about the bouncing on the PMDG 777. The fix above cures the issue. Look at the time stamps mentioned (11:09, 11:12, 11:23) you can clearly see 3 strange jumps. Also not sure why you mention the Rad Alt? it doesn't fluctuate. If it did that would be completely unrealistic. Rob Prest
May 28, 201412 yr I had a "bump" on landing, was picked up in the ACARS software,as aircraft bounced 65ft. After watching the replay in fsrecorder aircraft didn't bounce at all.??? MSI Codex 5 10SC-262UK Desktop PC - Intel Core i7-10700, RTX 2060 Graphics, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, 256GB SSD.
June 1, 201412 yr There is some info in the PMDG777 intro guide that the airplane migh bounce when mesh detall is set too high. I have had this bouncing while sitting at the gate and it stopped with changing the mesh resolution. I think you guys should try that first before changing contact points! Where in the intro manual did you find this bouncing? i have this often at any given airport when taxiing, but no solution yet. The intro manual on page 17 says:'Note: See the section on aircraft “bouncing” on page 41 if you experience this with a mesh setting above 19m.' Going to page 41 they talk about service based failures and wind data, but no bouncing? Tried searching the document a few times with search but also no results. Anybody have any help? I don't really wanna make any changes to the contact points of the beauty without having tried the offical solutions first.
June 1, 201412 yr Commercial Member The contact change is extremely minor. It wouldn't surprise me if the error was an oversight on PMDG's part. It would be very easy to miss the additional '6' when they packaged the aircraft. Just try it yourself, it works and has no affect on anything else. I have done 5 flights now and the issue has vanished, touchdowns/rollout are normal & Smooth Regards Rob Prest

It is on page 40 and can be found under Bounces (not bouncing), lolgotta love these search features right! Rob Robson
July 19, 20241 yr this fix no longer works, but a best solution for me is to put the static cg height to 14.999. That way works so-so well. The issue still stands, but if you do not pull the nose too much on landing it works well. Also I suggest you turn off your auto rudder setting in P3D. That affects the speed lever in sim and gives bad results.
