• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

How to stop random car bounces ?

Hi, all!! Upon recommendation, i used the piston sample FDE for my car, but the car bounces randomly , & i cannot make it go forward with the throttle even if i open the throttle with my joystick. Car will not move forward. It is not my joystick. It stays still. How can i fix the random bounces & not being able to use the throttle on it, what causes this?

It looks like your contact points are wrong.
An airplane usually has three contact points and you need to edit that section of the aircraft.cfg file you have not done it already. You need four which relate to where your model wheels touch the ground.
Then you need to make certain that your center of gravity entry in the same file is above ground level. If it gets below ground it causes the whole thing to jump into the air.
Your vehicle will move because of propeller thrust which increases with throttle position.Check if the engine sounds like it is running.

Thanks !! I edited the contact points. It still bounces. but how do I edit the center of gravity for it to be above air?

It needs to be above ground level. Let’s see the aircraft.cfg it would be the quickest way to see what is wrong

Here is the code from my Aircraft.cfg from the van.

I see two problems
1. Your Reference_datum_position is 3.0.6,0,0 which is unreadable to the sim. 3.0.6? It means the sim does not know where the thing is. Make that say 3.0 and you will be much better able to fine tune the values
2. Your contact points are not symmetrical and point 3 has a rigid suspension set up
which should be fixed before you start moving it.

You have not mentioned whether it moves yet when you open the throttle.

The car stays still when i open the throttle. How do i fix the point 3?

Try substituting these lines in place of the ones you have in the piston engine section
turbocharged=1 //Is it turbocharged? 0=FALSE, 1=TRUE
max_design_mp=38 //Max design manifold pressure, (inHg)
min_design_mp=1 //Min design manifold pressure, (inHg)

This entry is still not quite right. Insert a comma after the -9/6
point.3 = 1, -9.6, 4.65, -5.7, 3500, 32, 0.5, 0.0, 0.3, 2.5, 0.7, 0.0, 0.0, 4
