Title: Bouncing and crashes on ground
Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on April 17, 2005, 03:35:32 pm

I was taxiing the Dornier 320 at EGLL when suddenly it started bouncing wierdly. The FLight Logger reported me airborne because it was bouncing so much. Eventually, it bounces so high that it ends up nose first in the tarmac.

I remember this happening before in some other planes I had downloaded, but never enough to crash the plane.

Is there a fix?

Thanks

Not sure Ian but have same problem myself with some of the aircraft...i suggest taxiing slowly!!!

OK, thanks I will try that - I will try keeping my GS under 10 knots, slower is necessary.

Just for interest, are you supposed to push back a turboprop or do you just turn it around? I know GA planes are just turned around and jets are pushed back, but what EHM class of plane are you supposed to Push Back and which do you just use differential thrust and braking to turn around?

Thanks for the response

I think that all Passanger planes above the size of a Beech1900D are pushed back, however, i am not sure whether u push back the B1900D type aircraft.


Hope it makes sense:%

I think these samller aircrafts are parked at ramps they can get off themselves.
The smallest aircraft I´ve seen parked at a gate and get off by pushback was the BAe 146 (is that the same as the "Avroliner"??)

I have seen ATR's been pushed back at EGNT so i think they are smaller

And back to the original post...

Ian,

That is caused by bad scenery; usually an incorrect surface setting, and the default MS scenery is terrible for it.

At a number of fields on the various tours I have completed I'll be taxiing along what looks like tarmac and all of a sudden the nose will start kangarooing (and it's only exacerbated by having crash detection turned off).

Only thing you can do in such situations is throttle back a little and taxi a bit slower.

I know GA planes are just turned around and jets are pushed back,  

Actually, I once flew from Tenerife North (GCXO) to Lanzerote (GCRR)
and I was surprised to see some quite fast self-propelled pushbacks
done by the ATR-72's of Air Canaria. They just reversed the pitch of
the propeller's blades and backed up and steered appropriately,
without any assistance from ground vehicles.

Ciao ciao!

I confirm, finished the ATR72 manual two days ago... You can reverse to push back, excepting when there is too much tailwind (to avoid hot exhausted gaz to come back in the turboprop).
