F-18 Nose down attitude. It it possible to correct it ?

[VaporZ]

On the ground, rolling, taxiing, during take off or after landing on a conventionnal landing
strip the Accell F-18 have a nose down attitude with the compressed strut of the front
landing gear just like it is on a catapult shuttle just a few seconds before a catapulted take
off on a carrier landing.

This is not a real attitude at least for Canadian, Kuwait, Finland, Spanish F-18 and even for
USN/USMC Hornet training from their conventionnal home air bases.

It is possible to nose up the accel F-18 close to a more real attitude by some programming
on the CFG file ?

Thanks for the info !

Forget my request

I just found this correction on another thread to make
on the aircraft.cfg file :

[contact_points]
;Gear
point.0=1, -18.00,   0.00, -6.60, 1600, 0, 0.6349, 75.0, 0.2000, 3.5, 0.6100,  3.0,  3.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0

point.2=1, -35.50,   4.90, -7.60, 1600, 2, 0.6349,  0.0, 1.2, 1.6, 0.5456,  3.7,  3.7, 3, 0.0, 0.0
//point.1=1, -35.50,  -4.90, -7.40, 1600, 1, 0.6349,  0.0, 0.4000, 2.5, 0.5456,  3.9,  3.9, 2, 0.0, 0.0
//point.2=1, -35.50,   4.90, -7.40, 1600, 2, 0.6349,  0.0, 0.4000, 2.5, 0.5456,  3.7,  3.7, 3, 0.0, 0.0

and it works !
The FSX Legacy Hornet on the grond have now the correct attitude.

Good; but, can you see that (visually) in the model?

VaporZ...

Just saw your thread and own self-reply.  How do those settings work with all the scenery realisms to the right?  Also, what about aircraft realism settings, along w/"allow collisions w/aircraft" checked?  Have you launched and trapped yet?  And if so, were you half or full flaps, or either?  And full mil power or full AB?

I know its a big request, so only if you have the time.  The reason Im asking is there have been lots of problems with gear compression mods in that you have to uncheck certain things to get it working.  Plus, in the past, Ive gotten the "bumps", meaning when I switch views, the aircraft will randomly "bump" up like it just hit a speed bump but isnt moving at all.

If you have similar problems, check out this thread and see what you come up with after trying my mods.  http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2219.0
