Hi there! First of all, thanks for a great piece of work! I think it's wonderful to get such a great package (model/panel) for free. Your work is really appreciated! For the last 6 months I used the "old" model of the year 2004. Yesterday I downloaded the new one. It's fantastic, but I discovered, that the wheels (front and rear) are somwhow "in the ground". I searched the forum about it but only found threads where problems with the nosewheel were reported. Does anyone know how to fix this? In the read me file there is wirtten that the version I have downloaded should have corrected that "fault". Greetings from Kassel/Germany, Steffen

Thank you for the nice words, ok the question you ask... oddly I do not see this problem can you check this at different airports and other aircraft to eliminate any chance of a scenery/aircrfat issue then posta screenshot? many thanks Tony

No, it's not a scenery problem. I tested it on different airports with standard and add-on sceneries. Unfortunately it doesn't make any difference. I made a screenshot for you but I didn't find any way to add it to my post?!? (I have no possibility to upload it to some webspace or something...) By the way: It's mostly the rear wheels that have the problem, regarding the front wheel it's hardly visible.

I agree with Tony; a screenshot would be very helpful. lacking that, could you be a bit more descriptive...
How far into the ground are the wheels? Bottom of rims? top of rims? Top of tire? Also, how is the plane loaded with fuel, pax, and cargo?
You also mentioned add-on sceneries. Does this happen also at an airport with the default scenery?
Mike

Hello, Go to: www.photobucket.comRegister (it's free!) And load your image on your photobucket album and just highlight the image URL and paste it in your message... The line to higlight is the IMG code (the last under the thumbnail) The best is to upload a JPG image ( question of KB ) EDITED:This is the plane (with the default load) on the default airport SSR at Mauritius: Regards.

If you have installed additionally Meshes (some don't regard that as scenery, but in fact it change the the "scenery" act all the same) you could experience that effect of sunken/elevated wheels....

Hi there! First of all: the screenshot. As you see, it's quite visible at the rear wheels, whereas the front wheel looks quite normal. This is at Hamburg Airport (standard scenery): I also tested it on both, add-on and default sceneries, as I wrote before. Mesh could be a problem, but I tested it in Italy and in Germany and it's the same effect. Plus: the thing that irritates me is that with the old model this didn't happen. Ok, I hope the screenshot will help to solve this issue By the way I also tried different fuel, loads etc, same effect. Greetings, Steffen P.S.: Here's another shot on an completely neutral airport (no mesh, no add-on scenery):

Hey guys! I solved the problem. Actually I created it myself: I somehow got confused with different aircraft.cfg files (maybe with the original one and the one that comes with the panel, I dunno) and so I got wrong contact point information in my aircraft.cfg. I fixed it and now it fits perfectly. Thanks to anyone who helped!
