• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hope this is the right place.

The B-58 was downloaded from “Flightsim” it was “b-58upxa.zip”, “FSX Convair B-58 Hustler Update”, so it should work in FSX. When the Aircraft is loaded in FSX, it jumps up and down spins around, and sometime shoots off into space.
Somewhere in this forum, I read something about jumping Aircraft. I don’t remember if there was a fix, or you just have to except, it doesn’t work in FSX.

Definitely an .air file or aircraft.cfg problem.
Something in the contact points. There are way too many contact points!

If its an aircraft.cfg problem, how is it corrected?
Click to expand...

Open the aircraft.cfg file and comment out all of the scrape point entries. Typically "bouncy behavior" is caused by improperly set scrape points.

If this cures the "bouncy behavior" and you wish to re-enable scrape points, then very carefully uncomment each line and reset the x,y,z coordinates for each one. Usually it is the z (height above ground) point that is incorrect.
 
That is a good workaround.
In case you are still interested in the B58:
Delete all scrape points AND delete some wheel points so that you have only one contact point for the front wheels and one contact point each for the left and right wheel train.
