Wheels sink into the ground during touchdown

Featured Replies

The wheels sink into the ground (rwy) during touchdown.
It doesn't matter which runway or scenery.
This kills immersion also during replay. Other Planes from different vendors don't do that.

Yep, it always happens no matter what. It's particularly bad for the A350-1000, but the -900 is bad too.

Just look at the behaviour here: https://v.redd.it/rwchh0htaime1

Or here: https://streamable.com/a5s9qy

And this screenshot from your own trailer:

These aren't perspective issues, the wheels sink in whether in normal flight or replay. Quite disappointing to see this on a £72 add-on when the completely free FBW A380 manages so many more wheels without such issues. Same with PMDG 777 -- the A350-1000 should behave like that, but it just sinks in really badly.

The issue is not just it kills immersion during replay (although that is quite annoying to me as well) -- the biggest issue is that it changes the point at which the plane registers as 'touched down'. It's something like 2-5 feet lower than what it should be because the wheels sink in too far. It affects the flaring point, the amount of speed you bleed off, how far down you touch down on the runway, etc.

Hello,

I am sorry for the inconvenience. We continue to fine-tune the contact point and are hopeful we'll reach a satisfactory result in a future patch. It's a work in progress that is proving to be slightly tricker than anticipated.
