v1.0.10 Center Landing Gear Floats

Featured Replies

Hi there,

Just wanted you to know that the center landing gear of this beautiful bird is floating some cm's of the ground in the latest release. Check it out in the screenshot. 

I really appreciate it if you take care of it.

Thanks.

Hi, this is correct behaviour and has been verified from A340 pilots. At very low gross weights, the center gear will not make contact with the ground. Once you add fuel and payload it will settle onto the gear as expected.

I think it floats too high.

Floating yes - but this are not some centimeters. I think, its too high.

 

And if that's the case, then this gear always floats above ground after landing and before being loaded – and that's not real 😉

 

Loaded the plane with 200t (zfw 175, fob 25t) ... it also floats (and thats weight is not too light ;- )

 

You can also look some yotubevideos of A340-300 inside hangars (the center gear is on ground) -> I don'T think, that there is an big loaded aircraft 😉

... and ...the center gear rotates when floating. 

Please fix the center gear !

This Screen was captured from a havier A343 --> GW = 217.7t ... and the center gear is floating 😉

I would like to say that this is incorrect - or is round 220t for the center gear too light ?

I don't know but I can't imagine that.
