• 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.

nose gear collapsing??

is there a way to fix any of my 3rd party dash 8 q 400's nose gear from collapsing (for fs9) any time they think they rolled over a pebble. this happens in all the dash 8's I've down loaded. I have emailed the developers and no reply. Ive played with balance and weight with no joy. I've never dabbled in flight dynamics but am not shy about new programs or working with files or learning any kind of coding. of course out of respect to the developers copyrights and work, I want this for my own use. and as a step towards learning to make my own. (currently working fsds for the structural) I love this ac but its useless if the gear goes when on taxi with a slight bump (grass,gravel,slight difference in taxiway) that don't bother any other ac, ms or 3rd party.
thanks

I'd think that'll be the damage speed in the contact points section of aircraft.cfg
 
I kind of figured it might be there. the only trouble is to me all they are are numbers. as stated first time playing with something like this. if you could guide a little please. here is the contact points section of the config file. if you could if possible tell me what the points are (0-6) and the def of =1 =2 are, or a reference (so I can learn) that would be great and I could play with them from there. thanks for the reply (have the org config backed up)

The numbers are all explained in the SDK under SimObject Creation Kit->SimObject Container SDK->Aircraft Configuration Files->[contact_points]
 
cool thanks. I'll do some reading and playing. let you know how it turns out.:)
