Nose gear bounce

  • I'm pretty sure this is not a bug but an incorrect landing technique, e.g. using too much brake right after touchdown

    Can you please make a video of it?

    It's not a 'bug' but issue with suspension damping as i had reported earlier & it was acknowledged by you in a thread saying small jets bounce a lot on touchdown. you said it was something to do with calibration on the suspensions. this issue is not visible in airbus aircrafts and only on B787/777/LJ45/CRJ/Other general aviation aircrafts and the mil jets, sometimes on 737 if the landing is hard. but almost everytime on the other mentioned aircraft's.

    20% brakes were applied. the only way i negate this is by manually pushing the nose down after I feel the nose gear is down so it doesn't bounce back up.

  • Thanks, the nose gear touch down was quite firm, you definitely would have felt that in the cockpit and the physical response looked pretty good to me. The spring response is part of the real time physics simulation and is a feature not many competition products have. The damping constants could be a bit higher but this setup has to work for all weights of the aircraft.

    Yes I landed a bit firm on the nose because I wanted to demonstrate, it just bounces to a extent that it goes back in the air which is a bit much. but it needs to be looked at on most small planes like the LJ-45 even with a heavy weight the plane would just bounce on the runway and go airborne if it's not absolutely smooth the main gear in this case. (basically like a trampoline), because on a decent approach it looks like it would loose a tyre (LJ45).

  • This is one of my normal 787 landings it was a bit hard. I use auto brake on 3
