• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm sorry to post this question, as I know it has been asked and answered before, but whenever I searched for it, the only things that came up were four threads that no longer exist from the forum hacks.

Does anyone have a fix/modification to the Acceleration F-18 Contact Point issue, where the main gear seem to be permanently extended too far? I thought I had downloaded or copied this information from one of the other threads, but I cannot find it anywhere in my files, and now none of the threads that had the info exist anymore...

Thanks in advance to someone who had better foresight than me. :banghead:

Here's what I'm using:

;Gear
point.0=1, -18.00, 0.00, -6.70, 1600, 0, 1.0350, 75.0, 0.30, 2.80, 0.650, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0
point.1=1, -35.50, -6.00, -7.00, 3200, 1, 1.2349, 0.0, 0.80, 1.30, 0.550, 3.9, 3.9, 2, 0.0, 0.0
point.2=1, -35.50, 6.00, -7.00, 3200, 2, 1.2349, 0.0, 0.80, 1.30, 0.550, 3.7, 3.7, 3, 0.0, 0.0

and

static_pitch = 0.00
static_cg_height = 7.00

This allows the Accel F/A-18 to sit level with the ground and still work with the carrier practice missions (provided you're real patient with pulling back on the joy stick at the end of the deck). Some people prefer the back end to be lower but I've also seen lots of photos where the a/c looks level too when sitting at rest so that's what I went with.
 
Thank you both for the information and links. I've saved the info in text files now and placed them where I can find them, so hopefully if the forums go down again, I won't have lost the info...
