There is a property "/gear/gear[0]/compression-norm" (at least in yasim), you can use for that. > Actual landing gear movements in FGFS seem to be limitated to > extension/retraction but I don't see any shock absorbing simulation.

There is qite some movement with hard landings. ;-) Greetings Detlef > > A preview of the animation can be seen at > http://www.laubfrosch.it/public/tmp/FGFS_strut_mech.avi > > Roberto > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
