AIR file help please

Hi guys,

Can you please help me with a problem I am having? :brick: HELP

I have created a nice air file for a twin prop which flies beautifully but when it lands it comes to a stop almost instantly. Ditto if I accelerate down the runway and then cut the power. It is as if the brakes are slightly on all the time or there is a huge amount of friction in the turning wheels.

I seem to remember this was a setting in the .air file but now I need it I can't find any information on it at all!

I don't really want to have to start all over again from a new .air file so your help would be very much appreciated :)

Thanks!

David

My daughters Accent has not moved for a few weeks just tried to move it and the brakes at the rear have binded, now its similar to your problem as it stops before it goes, I have looked in the manual.cfg but I am stuck if anyone knows what the settings are in the cfg let me know.. :think:

Um... Guilty as charged M'Luds. :prayer:

I couldn't think of a better place to get a developer related answer!

Hi Tony,

I've not had time for doing my own aircraft lately as "real" work is very busy and I have been enslaved by my publishers Contact Simulations to work on their projects! I am under a non-disclosure agreement so I can't really give too much away about work I do for them until it is announced.

I can tell you that our Hurricane is being reviewed in July's PC Pilot magazine and we are very proud of it :) I should say that I will not be selling any of these myself so hopefully I won't be accused of advertising :worried:

Best wishes

David

If you mean the braking strength parameter it's in the primary aerodynamics section.
