AI J41 & D328 question

[starfan69 0]

Searched the forums for all of these questions. will combine them into one post instead of starting new topics for each question.

 

1) i have the DJC 41 and i paid a guy to paint it for me 11 years ago. problem is on my new system it sinks into the ground. i am not anywhere near talented enough on modeling or painting to figure this out on my own.  i am posting the contact points cause doing a google search that seems to be the main thing people say to check for this problem. but no one has said what the DJC j41 points should be. i am hoping someone either has a working copy of the DJC J41 that can see if that is the issue or better yet past a copy of there aircraft.cfg file for this airplane.

[contact_points]
static_pitch = -1.9
static_cg_height = 6.4

2) i also notice some of my ai planes the tyres look white from more than about 15 feet away. when they get to within 15 feet the tyres go back to normal. just select aircraft repaints. like i have one paint of an aardvark 175 and no issues with the tyres but another repaint will have the issue. only bugs me because i am ocd and i spend 80% of my time on the sim juts plane spotting so i notice it alot.

 

3) any one know where i can get a good AI Dornier 328 prop and/or Beech 99? the Dornier 328 i am looking for a mountain air express repaint and the beech 99 a gp express repaint? i have searched avsim and flightsim.com and even juts a plain google search and have found nothing. 

 

Thanks again for any and all help.

#3) If you are looking for AI model, try this for DO328 prop: https://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=jbai_dornier328_v2.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search. And for C99, should be the 2nd or 3rd file down: http://htai-models.com/downloads.html

If you cannot find a suitable fix or replacement for the DJC model you might also try looking at the FTX AI for Australia and New Zealand package here for a J41 https://orbxdirect.com/freeware

thanks for the responses. Orbxdirect has some nice stuff but i use fs9 and that is all fsx and higher. Looking at my original post i should have specified FS9. apologies for that

ok. i did some more research and i have got the airplane sort of where i want it. i had to adjust the static cg height. but now i have 1 minor issue the aircraft is tilted ever so slightly to the port side prolly by like maybe an inch or 2. which contact point fixe that or would that be in the static pitch?

 

but i thank all for the replies. even if i can not fix the tilt of the airplane it is still 100% better than being buried in the ground up to the wings. 

 

now i just have to learn to paint planes myself or find someone with time to make a couple repaints for me. i have read and watched video's to do it but they arc not really very helpful in painting real world liveries.

Try the Alpha India forums. There's ton's of paints and links to many more that have been done by some very talented painters, especially for GA and smaller cargo opertaions.

Why apologize? You are in the right forum. I should have looked before recommending something that won't work.

I finally got a chance to check my DJC 41. Are you trying to use this as a flyable aircraft? Don't think it is supposed to be used as that. If for AI, please try this, here is what I have in my .cfg file for contact points:

Also, here is the Alpha India link I was talking about earlier. I CANNOT more highly recommend signing up here. i use it 4/5 times a day. Just a treasure trove of talented and friendly people.
