This moves the theoretical position of the main undercarriage back so that the front end sits more solidly on the ground. It moves the nosewheel forward a little way too - I can't remember why I did that but possibly to improve steering ability - plus a few other small tweaks to make things work better. Worth a try, maybe, but make sure you can revert if need be.
The only thing I would warn you of is if you are prone to admiring your landing abilities from outside, the puffs of smoke from the tyres will probably be in the wrong place.
, any idea of what might be happening ? it's the fsx viscount btw. Also i disengage the gust locks and i have full aileron and elevator controls but i have to press F4 to dissengage the outer engines movement lock.
thank you !
