This is strange. We don't get that with FGFS 0.7.8. And in the last few weeks I have been updating all of our models with more or less realistic gear parameters so that they all sit nicely on the runway for takeoff (w/ FGFS 0.7.8). I have only had to use z-offset-m to get them sitting properly with wheels just touching the runway. But the z-offset-m values are small (+-~.1 to .6 m). The gear code works for the 747 and all the way down to my ultralight (one of which is the 1903 Wright Flyer). FYI - I will be posting these updated models in the very near future. BTW - David ... we have not modified the UIUC gear code that you wrote. It works great, and as far as I can tell it is correct. >All the best, > > >David > >-- >David Megginson >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >_______________________________________________ >Flightgear-devel mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel ************************************************** Prof. Michael S.
