Yes, this is my question.
I also think that this /sim/presets directory should be either built up to the
idea someone noted in this thread before or should be removed. That way noone
can rely on stuff not really maintained ...

Yep, looks really crazy. You can watch this during replay. But get your
popcorn first :)

Not shure, I could imagine that this is caused by the way the gear springs are
configured. If the nose gear spring is very stiff, it just pushes the nose
much heavier into the sky than the tail. So it ends upside down ...
