Boucing planes

[gosd]

Most recently I have been flying P-51B and P-51D , both of these planes bounce a lot on take off they even go sideways.
I have also experience this with other aircrafts but the P-51s are the worst. How can I correct this?

Fly a P-47??
Haven't had that problem to speak of, but on Hard settings most are a hand full on take off.
Usually the landing that get me???

It's to do with the contact points and static height entries in the aircraft.cfg, I searched and came up with these posts which may prove useful:

Before digging into aircraft.cfg, how sensitive is your joystick setup? I fly on Hard settings by preference - and AvHistory flight models don't work properly otherwise - and only get some bouncing on grass runways with the Ponies but nothing that can't be controlled. There also ought to be a degree of null zone on aileron, rudder and elevator or aircraft get much too twitchy.

Worth checking.
