Fantastic new freeware 747 !!

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Iain,

Further to my last edit, the contact points weren't quite right (wheels stuck in the tarmac!) so if you replace that section with the following you'll get a better position on the ground:

[contact_points]
point.0= 1.000, 58.000, 0.000, -18.200, 2000.000, 0.000, 2.000, 70.000,

1.500, 2.000, 0.980, 9.000, 8.000, 0.000, 220.000, 250.000
point.1= 1.000, -30.000, -19.000, -19.000, 2000.000, 1.000, 2.000,

0.000, 1.500, 2.500, 0.950, 11.000, 9.000, 2.000, 220.000, 250.000
point.2= 1.000, -30.000, 19.000, -19.000, 2000.000, 2.000, 2.000,

0.000, 1.500, 2.500, 0.950, 11.000, 9.000, 3.000, 220.000, 250.000
point.3= 2.000, -75.600, -103.500, 3.000, 700.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000,

0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 5.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.4= 2.000, -75.600, 103.500, 3.000, 700.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000,

0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.5= 2.000, -32.000, 0.000, 0.000, 700.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000,

0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 9.000, 0.000, 0.000
point.6= 2.000, -257.700, 0.000, 4.000, 700.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000,

0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 4.000, 0.000, 0.000
static_pitch= -1.500
static_cg_height= 16.600
gear_system_type=1

By the way, this is all worked out on the EuroCargo 747F, I assume it'll work for the main fleet one too but I haven't tested that. Let me know if this all works for you... :P

EHM-1617 Iain:
Thanks very much for your very detailed instructions Dom. I will try it out when I find time. Personally, I prefer to fly  without side views as it allows for better looking at the landscape.

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
What he said....I havent used it on the main version either...have the PMDG to cover that department...

EHM-1617 Iain:
It all works but for the contact points, the aircraft sinks right into the tarmac when I load it. Will the EHM ones work any better?

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Iain,

Just confirm for me you've replaced the EHM weight & balance section with the iFly one - I tried it without this modification and it went bouncing all over the place but with the new weight & balance it was fine...

And when you say it sinks into the tarmac do you mean it's placed too low so the undercarriage is underground or that it won't stay still? If it's too low but stable, you just need to increase the fourth number in point.0, point.1 and point.2 (this is the vertical height of the wheels below the aircraft reference point in feet, point.0 is the nose gear and points. 1 & .2 are the main gear). So as given above the correct figure to change in point.0 is -18.2. If the gear is below ground level, increase this number.
