SGA MD-80 series contact point fix

Featured Replies

Anyone have the contact point fix for the SGA MD-80? I just purchased the Flighdeck panel and it overwrote my cfg.Thanks.Hornit

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

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

Ok Hornit, I searched back through my old saved disks and found a copy of some postings by you and Fraser on this topic. Here is the relevant changes to the Contact Points you settled on. point.0 = 1, 69.64, 0, -7.31, 880.73, 0, 1.1, 67.26, 0.13, 3.846, 0.75, 5, 5, 0, 0, 0 point.1=1.000, -1.8601, -8.2, -8.7, 1181.1, 2, 1.8, 0.00, 0.89, 0.90, 0.60, 5.00, 5.00, 2.00, 0.00, 0.00 point.2=1.000, -1.8601, 8.2, -8.7, 1181.1, 2, 1.8, 0.00, 0.89, 0.90, 0.60, 5.00, 5.00, 2.00, 0.00, 0.00 If you want a copy of the original forum postings with the full Contact Points options you and Fraser discussed, please let me know. Sorry I missed this earlier but I had forgotten about these changes. I'll put them into my aircraft.cfg now.Warren
