Hello. I have found a problem recently within my sim(FS9). As I am taking off or landing on any runway in FS9 with any aircraft, my plane starts to bounce as though I am on grass. Has anyone had this problem before? Any fixes before I try a reinstall? Thanks! Need any more details? Just ask.

I think it has to do with contact points, but I've no idea how to fix it.

Is it with all aircraft, or just one?

Yes - contact points. Depends on the aircraft. You need to make a help desk issue - tell me which plane it is, and I'll send you the contact point info. Also, sometimes if you have added new scenery, that can affect the contact point settings for planes.

I have noticed it most recently at GMMN with my Wilco A333 and my PMDG 747. I will make a help desk issue later.

I had the problem with KSEA. I fixed it though. If you're on ACARS later, I can tell you the fix.

Jim I haven't noticed it with that - is it at every airport or just a specific one?
