v1.0.9 Center Landing Gear Floats

[navnak]

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.

It’s been floating since release when having zero payload and little fuel on board

Hi, 

Sorry for the delayed response, I will raise this with the team as it is still happening in current versions. Thank you.

Also in 1.09

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.

to this extent in v1.0.9? find it hard to believe but I am open to stand corrected

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 !

I think so, too.

It definately was lower before v 1.0.9

It even floats with full payload and little fuel now...
