Prop strike...

[dasuto247]

How do I restore this to planes? Such as the OH models. Belly landing, flying too low etc, props just keep on spinning.

From my testing the fuselage contact point set the prop stike. The thing is you can lower the fuselage contact point or when you bell land you will be nose up sitting on the fuselage contact point that is 1.5 or 2 feet from the belly.

Do you have ACM (Aircraft Container Manager)? You can use it to adjust all of the contact points.

Hi dasuto247,

Just move the vertical position of the scrape points to 0.

Rembember that when you get a prop strike the plane will blow up.

I don't. Where can I get it ?

I see scrape points in airfile.Set the nose vertical to 0? currently at -25.

Hi dasuto247,

In the aircraft cfg file.

Which numbers under vertical position do I change to 0?

lol don't forget, still new to a lot of this.Learning as I go..

Yes, I see number 3(vertical position) .However there are multiple numbers, not sure which one to change.

[Allen]

Take point.0= 1, -18.00, 0.00, -3.35, 3200.0, 0, 0.50,180.0, 0.25, 2.5, 0.90, 1.0, 4.00, 0, 0, 200 //tail wheel

After the = is 1. The 1 is the Class. -18.00 Longitudinal Position. 0.00 is Lateral Position. -3.35 is the Vertical Position.
