Has anyone ever tweaked the MDL file for the KBT F/A-18E, F and EA-18G?
Those planes are definitely "diamonds in the rough" but they could use a little work to make them re-paint friendly.
Here's some quick edits you can make for the landing gear:
F/A-18E
[contact_points]
//0 Class <0=none, 1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float>
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)

This will make the gear compress more accurately while stickling the tires slightly below ground level. I also adjusted the "track" of the gear so its harder to roll the plane over when you taxi.
Almost done, just needs some of the scratching adjusting.

Do like the donation F100 , DaveQ did some great FSX repaints that can be converted back to 9, there's a bit of renaming involved and you need to be handy with DXTbmp, but it can be done
Over Habbaniya, Iraq. A great battle occurred there on May 2, 1941. Gladiators, Audaxes, Gordons and Oxfords were used by the RAF.
