Captain Sim C-130 body roll while taxing....?

Hello Gentlemen,

I was just wondering if anyone would know how to change the excessive body rolling (tipping) of this aircraft while taxing? Also during take off the left wing dips quite a bit too? I have had a play with some "contact_points" (9 and 11) in the aircraft.cfg file but to no avail...? A very helpful chap at another forum gave me some advice but this has not helped so I thought I would ask here at SOH being primary a Military based forum, someone here may find the same problem very annoying and have a solution?

Am I the only one whom thinks its a little over animated and could be toned down a bit?

Cheers,
Tim...
 
Hi Tim, do you have Accu-feel installed? I find that makes some aircraft roll like that. If you do use it, try turning down the "side forces" in the "Land" settings.
 
How about your fuel load? My C-130 seems to never have equal fuel distribution and tilts while sitting on the ground.

Hello Dave. My Accu-feel does not have that option, only "shock absorpbtion" which I have maxed out but still tips. As for fuel load (simulloyd) the tanks are all equal. I am at a loss?

Cheers,
Tim..
 
Accufeel has a "Side Forces" slider under 'Land' - I have found that if I put this to zero, body roll reduces dramatically while taxying.
 
Tim..

Side Forces is the last of the 5 options in 'LAND'.. Cabin Integrity.. Shock Absorbtion.. Brake Squeal.. Tire Screech.. Side Forces. I have version 2, not sure what the differences between this and v1 are. Rather than crank the sliders up, try backing them off.. effectively reducing the effect of Accu-Feel. Alternatively.. turn land off completely and have another look. Some models do work better as the developer intended.. that is, without Accu-Feel;)

Hello DaveB and thefrog. Due to not having version 2 of accu-feel, I have opted to turn off accu-feel for this aircraft and in doing so has helped my issue a little... I guess I will just have to live with this annoyance!?! I just though someone here with "contact_points" knowledge could have piped up and given some insight?

Thank you all for your constructive contributions to my plight.

Regards,
Tim...

1. The gear is "soft" as it needs to be to absorb loads on rough fields and high-rate landings, so it will be 'rolly'.

2. It may be accentuated in the sim - I remember when the upgraded FS9 POSKY 747 came out with enhanced suspension and it could be a bear, even to the point of being overly sensitive when loading in with a severe crosswind.

3. Make sure you use proper crosswind technique when taxiing - apply (varying) aileron into the wind as airflow under the upwind wing will cause it to lift. If you want realism then it needs to be handled realistically.

Mostly a fun video of extreme flying in airshow conditions but watch the body roll on landing at about 6:10-6:30 in split-screen and if you watch closely you'll even see it in the take-off run

That's the one I have been searching my hard drives for, for months now.
