The ground handling is all part of it. I'm not sure what you are seeing...but if you moved the origin then the aircraft should have at least moved the same amount. It might "look" the same but look closer. Are the wheels in the same spot on startup? Basically with you need to make sure the gear is in the right spot, etc, etc. With YASim fdm configs you can configure gear animation so that when it compresses in yasim the gear compresses visually too. YASim will drop the altitude by an amount relevant to the modeled gear compression so the aircraft will drop, but the wheels will go "through the pavement" if you don't amimate the compression in the 3D model. > PS why in an external view does the Hunter appear to do an upward roll in > the up leg of a loop.
