im trying to land a damn plane in arma and just

it keeps bouncing

its too light, the fucking tires bounce it back up a meter even at half the speed most other planes require to stay in the air to begin with

what do i even do in this situation

@kopopp t41 mescelaro (the armed cessna), turns out 3cb implements it as well and its less bad (actually has a full tank of fuel for once) however its still so fucking light

like, you have to really crank up the engine to gain any altitude, but at the same time intentionally trying to lose altitude easily pushes you to your max speed so even just approaching at 50m altitude going 100km/h requires a long approach and its just… kinda awful

@coolbean oh that makes sense. the t41 is so fun once you get it in the air but im pretty sure the physics on it are just fucked? even in the 3cb version it bounces all over the place even just taxiing it around.

@coolbean i misremembered my issue with it slightly, it doesn't bounce so bad when taxiing but it jumps around a bit when you're close to idle sitting in place.

and yeah, you have to land super shallow and slow otherwise it will simply refuse and keep slowly hovering along for the entirety of the runway

apparently the weight ingame is 1470 of whatever measurement system physx uses, same as the vanilla arma 3 cessna (which is a very different model)
