The Microsoft Acceleration FA-18 suffers from an error in the main gear. The lower part of each gear leg should normally appear parallel to the runway. The Microsoft model has that leg at a much higher angle - and so the aircraft has a nose down attitude. There was a fix a while ago to this problem, but I can no longer find it. Will someone please tell me where to find the fix (or if you have it - please send me a PM). Bill
 
I''ve tried a few fixes but not one has really hit the nail on the head with it yet unfortunately! I'd also be interested if anyone does figure the correct set up for it!
 
I tried several versions, the one from FlightsimNation works best. The only problem remaining is the plane still tips over almost every time just after the hook catches the wire.

Attached my current [contact_points] section.
 
I prefer this, it's give me the perfect stability
