LVFR Airbus Gear compression height on ground

Post by DJPrev » Thu Oct 13, 2022 2:14 am

Hi guys!

Is it possible to lower the default aircraft height off the ground? - it seems to sit too high in my opinion.

I messed about with weight and balance to demonstrate what I mean - pics below:

Before (default settings about 50% fuel)

Weight and Balance added

After (gear more compressed)

Close-ups:

Also to clarify - in the air the gear uncompressed is spot on. Just want it to compress more on the ground.

The A321Neo is the same.

It's a purely aesthetic thing I'm requesting but let me know what you think.

Edit: think it needed more weight aft.....main gear a bit high still
