Sundowner

Heading for the FAC...

F-4J action...

I think the ShockStroke entry is simply the amount that you would like to move the particular mesh or meshes, the actual Shock mesh doesn't always have to be the the main part, it could be a child of something else...axel for example. The controlling element is the mesh that you've set your "ShockAnimationID=" to.....if you get what I mean . Hopefully one of our 3d experts can explain it a little better.

If trying to get a file that is hosted here but no longer works for some reason is considered necro threading, then why are all these old obsolete downloads still available ?? Not a dig, just a sensible question.

I'm no expert here, but this is how I usually see it. ShockStroke=the length of movement the your Shock absorber mesh moves when landing or taking off. SpringFactor= how hard your springs are ie, too hard and your shock absorber wont compress when the aircraft is on the ground. DampingFactor= how "bouncy" your springs are....not enough damping and your aircraft will appear to bounce and wobble when sat on the runway etc. You Will find that you usually have to mess around with them all to get a satisfactory result. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update, we are thinking about you and your family Volker.

Holy moly ! Sorry to hear this Volker. You just concentrate on your recovery. Thinking of you my friend.

That is very strange, all my SF2 installs have worked perfectly on Win 10 for me. I've not had to make any changes to anything.

No idea mate, I just have mine closed as I rarely carry anything in the forward bays...

Just a thought....the rear end of those bays have something called "Flipper Doors" that close to create a smooth ramp type area to smooth the airflow when the wells are empty or as soon as the missile has been fired......just to complicate matters even more..

Heading out....

Your dad is sorely missed, we worked on many things together. RIP my friend.

Whenever this happens to me I usually re-install direct X9.0c . It usually cures it for a while then it'll rear it's ugly head again. I'm using the same fix as Jimbib posted as well but I'm on win 10.
