After many hours of flying and touch and goes I finally landed parked and then noticed the front wheel in the tarmac a little to far which also meant that she sits a little funny too

was there ever a fix for this :kilroy: I have to say the with some of the fine repaints out there from folks here at the outhouse I really have been enjoying her :applause:

I'm pretty sure they mirrored just about all their textures, the same problem I find with a lot of Carenado planes, except for the 182 series and few others, makes it difficult to do good paints with it.

i know that some folks aren't too keen on them but i like many of the default planes. my only trouble is, for me, the glass is invisible in them.

OK how about which line adjusts the front wheel height and I'll mess with it a bit

checked for a possible thread and know it was discussed here before but if you search for "wheel" or "adjust" in the threads you get every thread ever posted just in a different order :isadizzy:

how to adjust contact points.


if your glass is invisible, as this happened with me and complete invisible planes, the only fix is a complete uninstall and reinstall of FSX, as something has become corrupted. I searched long and hard as I am a fellow who will do my research before I ask a question on how do to something, and that is the only conclusion that fixed the problem completely.

Why Thank you Tim :wavey:

If anyone is interested

New front wheel config so it sits on the tarmac not in it
