AlphaSim A-3 Skywarrior FSX nose wheel

This is the AlphaSim A3 reported to FSX. Trying to figure out how to raise the nose tire
and sit flush on the runway. It's kind of sunk below the pavement as you can see.
If you click on the picture you will see larger image.
 
Open your aircraft.cfg and modify the setting that I have highlighted in red.

This should place the nose gear properly on any default runaway.

****Back up your current aircraft.cfg before you make any changes.
