Dynamic Suspension Based on Gross Weight and Animation on Landing

[ykeyre]

The wheel buggy has dynamic suspension based on gross weight in the real aircraft. At lower GW, the aircraft should sit higher and sit lower at higher GW.  Also, please can you implement suspension animation during landing like in this video?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHUe9W6zn1U&list=LL&index=7

I will definitely second this. I have never seen such terrible main wheel animation like on a350 on such a high quality addon. I will also add following:

- nosewheel animation when braking is also totally unrealistic, with the nosewheel itself bouncing when braking, and suspension almost not working at all

Here is another example but with an A350-900.

Here's another example of the main landing gear and suspension during take-off rotation. Please, can you pass this onto the developers?

Agreed, gear dynamics is really basic now. Suspension, dynamics on touchdown/liftoff, the rebound from a touchdown with higher than normal rate of descent. They all need some work.

I agree. I think they should improve the landing gear animation because, currently, the landing gear clips into the ground upon touchdown. i think it's all about contact point.

agreed.

This photo shows the state of the landing gear from the same perspective when the aircraft is at its lightest and heaviest weights. The suspension is moving properly, but the tires are also sinking and floating unnaturally. This issue needs to be corrected first.

Additionally, the suspension's range of motion seems too narrow. It should compress more under maximum weight. Increasing the suspension's range of motion would make it appear more realistically compressed during landing. The current suspension of the iniBuilds A350 simply lacks sufficient compression.

Also in their current stream they completely omitted the topic of suspension. There is apparently the correction on the sunken main gear on landing but I think they think the suspension is completely correct.

The suspension is clearly not modelled properly!

 

I don't know why it's so difficult to understand, since all modern airliners have it. The A350 is supposed to be the "ultimate airliner" experience, hence modelling dynamic suspension is a basic expectation! As you can see in the video above, the suspension for the gear buggy is fully extended and only reduces in height based on g-force influenced by gross weight and rate/angle of descent.

Alright. So we ascertained it’s wrongly animated and also wrongly modelled, which most likely goes hand in hand with the flight model, aircraft model and ground physics.

 

Inibuilds: what are you going to do about this?

我们已经在1.0.5中看到了起落架着陆动画的一些改进，但仍然不够，希望他们在即将到来的更新中继续调整它。

Sorry，I mean we've seen some improvements to the landing gear landing animation in 1.0.5, hopefully they will continue to tweak it in the upcoming updates.

Addtionally，I recently updated to 1.0.6，and i noticed the bogie sinking into ground issue came back(which was fixed in 1.0.5) .😂

Thank you. Will inform the team.
