Correcting bouncing while on the ground?

Like all MVG's other offerings, I love the Fiat G-18V. Unfortunately it has a horrible, continuous bounce/vibration while on the ground. I know it's probably something to do with the landing gear points in the .cfg file, but before I start messing around with mine has someone else corrected this problem?
 
I had not this model .. so I installed it (D/L from Flightsim)
No bouncing at all (tested on paywares .. freewares and default airports)
Of course all flightsim installation can have particularity
Contact points ? maybe (seems perfect for me) but some changes in the MOI parameters can maybe help you...
Try to play with ...
[weight_and_balance]

max_gross_weight = 22063
empty_weight = 16359 //including oil

reference_datum_position = 0, 0, 0
empty_weight_CG_position = 0, 0, 0

empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 86000
empty_weight_roll_MOI = 290000
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 340000

empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0

Hope it's help ..
 
Some folks suffered this whilst beta testing the Sea Balliol - the cure was to raise the 20 frames per second setting & make it unlimited for preference. Seems if you are a web flier one needs to set 20 fps...

Fantastic. That last was exactly what I was looking for -- on landing, it was really hard to keep it from porpoising and it just wouldn't settle down unless I ducked into slew mode and back.
