Editing Contact points?

[Barry Theodore]

Here is a list of contact points and what they mean, but I don't know which ones to change to rectify your bounce problem.

Aircraft contact points:

Point.0 Nose Wheel
Point.1 Main Gear Left Wheel
Point.2 Main Gear Right Wheel
Point.3 Wing Tip Left
Point.4 Wing Tip Right
Point.5 Fuselage Rear
Point.6 Fuselage Nose
Point.7 Rudder Top
Point.8 Fuselage Belly

Here is an example for the Airbus A320:


//0 Class <0=none,1=wheel, 2=scrape, 3=float>
//1 Longitudinal Position (feet)
//2 Lateral Position (feet)
//3 Vertical Position (feet)
//4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute)
//5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right)
//6 Wheel Radius (feet)
//7 Steer Angle (degrees)
//8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid)
//9 Max/Static Compression Ratio
//10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped)
//11 Extension Time (seconds)
//12 Retraction Time (seconds)
//13 Sound Type
//14 Airspeed limit for retraction (KIAS)
//15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS)

max_number_of_points = 21

13 (0) Sound Type This integer value will map a point to a type of sound:
0 = Center Gear,
1 = Auxiliary Gear,
2 = Left Gear,
3 = Right Gear,
4 = Fuselage Scrape,
5 = Left Wing Scrape,
6 = Right Wing Scrape,
7 = Aux1 Scrape,
8 = Aux2 Scrape,
9 = Tail Scrape.

Hope this helps.
