navnak Posted December 5, 2025 Posted December 5, 2025 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. 2
Matthias0412 Posted December 20, 2025 Posted December 20, 2025 It’s been floating since release when having zero payload and little fuel on board 1
IniJamir Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Hi, Sorry for the delayed response, I will raise this with the team as it is still happening in current versions. Thank you.
IniSteve Posted February 2 Posted February 2 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. 2
Matthias0412 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 to this extent in v1.0.9? find it hard to believe but I am open to stand corrected
spider24 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) 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 😉 Link: Edited February 6 by spider24
spider24 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 ... and ...the center gear rotates when floating. Please fix the center gear ! 1
Matthias0412 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I think so, too. It definately was lower before v 1.0.9 It even floats with full payload and little fuel now...
spider24 Posted Monday at 07:24 PM Posted Monday at 07:24 PM (edited) 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. Edited Monday at 07:40 PM by spider24
