• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Can someone help with small Alphasim F-111 issue please?

Oh, now I understand what you were saying.

That's just a matter of adjusting static compression (to add more compression under load) and max-static ratio (to maintain total animated suspension travel), then of course the vertical distance to ground once that is resolved.

I also adjusted static pitch and height.

See attached for copy.

NAILED IT!!!
that was it Milton... and you hit it bang on! :jump::applause:

those main gear contact points and compressions are all lined up with the animation of the gear now... BRILLIANT SIR!!!

THIS is why you are, to me, one of the best flight sim airplane designers no... ENGINEERS out there!

The only thing I 're-edited' in your contact point section was to change the turning circle (steer angle) in the nose gear line to what I had done before. As supplied.. it is painfully wide! Changing the 7th value from 20.0 to 40.0 brings it into realistic parameters.

but the main landing gears sit at all weights is a good as it gets, with those big low pressure tires looking the part now as well... and no more disappearing act into the runway on rotation!

Cheers.. and happy flying lads!
