Plane Bouncin'

Post by MidgeyMidget2 » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:03 pm

Whenever I get out of the cockpit view or just change views, mostly to tower and spot my plane bounces. I don't know what to do. It is frusturating because I have FsP and it affects my score. Please help.

Plane bouncing

Post by MidgeyMidget2 » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:47 pm

It would really be nice if someone acknowledged me even if they don't know why this is happening. I've seen other posts that have gotten responses extremely fast. I'm not trying to be rude but just an acknowledgement would be nice.

Gives us a little more info, what plane are you using, does it happen with any plane you use, where does it happen i.e. a certain runway or taxiway, this thread might help you viewtopic.php?t=884&highlight=bounce

I kind of thought this was a known bug in FS9, but I could be wrong. Also possibly related to a elevation issue in your afcad file...

There is one "bump" on runway4, which is closed by default, you can read about it here:

viewtopic.php?t=884&highlight=bounce

If these bouncing you are experiencing is all over Midway and not just at this specific location on runway 4 there must be some specific setup related issue. Perhaps another addon scenery that is interfering.

I was using a Kittyhawk 737-700 and it happens all over the airport. I made sure I didn't have any other scenery or AFCAD by using the AFCAD program to search for AFCADS at midway.

I too have the same problem when using the Ariane 737 NG series aircrafts, and thats not only on midway, but at any airport i'm at. when im cycling through views and displaying tower or spot view, the aircraft starts to bounce for a short while, but i have only xperienced this with the Ariane 737NG at any airports, not just flytampa's

I seriously think its an FS bug, not FT specific. The issue isnt bad unless you use some kind of a 767 that bounces and collapses it's nose wheel. Boom, flights over. I usually save my flight before cycling views on the ground. Over time, i stopped caring. wouldn't be the only time Microsoft messed up =P

This has probably got something to do with the contactpoints of your aircraft.

Try lowering the value "static_height" in your aircraft.cfg by small increments. Save it, and restart FS.

Hey, I sometimes have this problem all over the world. It usually seems to happen while the scenery is still loading (or is already loaded but becoming clearer and more detailed) and the plane hops up once it's done and then bounces vertically a few inches for about 5 seconds. If this is a really bad problem for you, just try pausing the game while you're switching views, especially if your tower view is placed a long way from your aircraft :]
