January 4, 200620 yr Anyone have the contact point fix for the SGA MD-80? I just purchased the Flighdeck panel and it overwrote my cfg.Thanks.Hornit
January 4, 200620 yr Hornit, Not sure if this is the fix you are referring to but I have the update pack which was supplied for the full SGA MD and DC9 aircraft. However, I have just checked the aircraft.cfg for the MD8x and the one supplied in the Flight Deck Pack, and Lonny seems to have included the latest one. So you should already have the update, but if you want the original update, send me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you.Warren Warren
January 4, 200620 yr Author Well, the problem is the contact points, they are wrong, he didnt use the "fixed" versions I or Fraser Turner came up with. If you had these you would know as the aircraft sits on the ground correctly. I'm not real happy that this was done, I didnt see anything in the documentation that indicated I was going to lose my aircraft.cfg. No biggy really. Ill figure it out again I guess. With the stock aircraft.cfg and this one the main gear doesnt give much on landing and it doesn't compress correctly leaving the aircraft sitting at the wrong angle on the ground.Hornit
