Does anyone have any idea why the planes will jump and bounce a few times when I switch from cockpit view to outside view? When I'm taxiing and switch views, it will bounce and the wheels will smoke. I have FS9.

it happens to me too. just a guess but i think it is a problem with the ground at some airports... it is hard to explain but it like ground textures that is unstable or something like that. but it is only in certain areas because at one airport, some taxiways don't have the problem and some do. sorry if i didn't make any sense right there...

It happens to me, also. I fly the fleet 767 with no add-on airports. I've also noticed it with the service trucks. Thanks Andrew for link. I'll give it a try.

It has only happened to me in the fleet 777, but since I don't fly that plane (often), it doesn't affect me, but thanks for the info on the contact point stuff Andrew

I've edited some of my planes - but as stated - it only happens at some airports. The best method for the contact points is to see what the plane in question data is first - then adjust it to see where the sweet spot it...that's what I ended up doing.
