Contact Points on a model

Post by cmdrnmartin » Sat Oct 14, 2006 9:37 pm

The Overland 737-800 has the following contact points:

Code: Select all

[contact_points]
point.0=1,  45.00,   0.00, -8.02, 1181.1, 0, 1.442, 55.92, 0.6, 2.5, 0.9, 4.0, 4.0, 0, 220.0, 250.0

point.2=1,  -2.75,   9.28, -9.08, 1574.8, 2, 1.442,  0.00, 1.0, 2.5, 0.9, 7.1, 7.1, 3, 220.0, 250.0

point.5=2, -54.00,   0.00,  2.83,  787.4, 0, 0.000,  0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 9, 0.0, 0.0
point.6=2,  42.67,   0.00, -3.75,  787.4, 0, 0.000,  0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 4, 0.0, 0.0

point.7= 5, -70.90, -15.250, -17.300, 1600, 0, 0.00, 50.0, 0.0,  0.0, 1.00, 1.0, 1.2, 0, 0.0, 0.0
point.8= 5,-400.90,  15.250, -17.300, 1600, 0, 0.00, 50.0, 0.0,  0.0, 1.00, 1.1, 1.5, 0, 0.0, 0.0

max_number_of_points = 21
Using flynet, it reads a takeoff (ie wheels of the ground) when the aircraft is about 50~100 ft off the ground. This makes me think one of the contact points is wrong.

If anyone has any tips, or ideas on what might be causing the problem, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thanks

Not the contact points. Vertical positions all look right. Besides, if the CPs were wrong, the airplane would be floating 50-100 feet in the air.

That is true.

Any other ideas on what it could be? (if anyone has the overland package, the issue occurs on the B738)

Hi Justin,

Just comparing your contact points with the stock 737. What are points 7 and 8 in your model? They show class 5(?) which doesn't have a decode as shown in the stock model contact point classes. If it were me I'd try putting // in front of points 7 and 8 and give it whirl and see what happens.

I'll give it a try John. Thank you for the idea.

EDIT: Yep, that was the problem, Thanks Again John!
