It is not wrong to tune the 3D model with an offset during loading , which
modify nothing regarding the FDM and gives a better visual when it is on
ground.
Mainly, because most of the original blue print are given with the aircraft
on ground the gears compressed.
So, it is not wrong to give some minor adjustment on the 3D model itself , the
easiest being to use the offset ( instead of to modify the 3D model.ac ).
With the c172p i have included the following:
<offsets>
<pitch-deg>-3</pitch-deg>
<z-m>-0.05</z-m>
</offsets>
To me that is perfect, may be more <z-m> -0.065 in order to show the tire
compressed.
The next update could be to include animations with the compression extension
of the gears. :)
Cheers
