Problem With 777-300ER's New Landing Gear On Takeoff?

First, I'd like to say a huge thank you for fixing the damping on the 777-300ER's landing. It's much more realistic now and looks amazing.

However, did it create a new problem? Now, when taking off with the 777-300ER, the wheels appear to lift a bit early in comparison to aircraft in real life.

Specifically rotating at around 150kts with 15 degrees flaps. The landing gear seems to lift by itself when rotating with about 3-4 degrees.

Is anyone else noticing this?

Yes that is intentional though. I haven't come across a proper description of the logic that controls this actuator. If you compare the behavior with real world videos keep in mind that our b777 is much lighter than those you see in the videos with much more fuel on board for a long journey.

I've seen a similar behavior like our b777 gear during the first takeoff of the B777X

Thanks for the response! Makes sense. Will there eventually be an option to change the weight of the aircraft?

Eventually probably yes but I have no idea when or in which time frame.
