Hi! Two patches today: 1) fix source property for mach display 2) added 6 structure contact points, no more falling through the ground hopefully ;) (I just made up some spring coefficients) Any comments? Greets, Csaba Index: Instruments/T38-airspeed.xml

Hello! I noticed some problems with the T38: first of all, it hovers above ground. While trying to fix that, I came across the second one: when braking the gears sometimes go underground. Even the main gears. Taking a closer look at the 3d model and the fdm config I found that the distance betwee
