What some people will do for a tyre wash eh? Lovely video though - one of those perfect early mornings - sun just coming up and a whole day to have some fun.

That explains what each number group controls and distances are all in feet, measured from the aircraft datum point. Note too that you need four float points to keep an aircraft level on the water not three in the wheel locations.

I'd suggest adding the points I posted earlier to any aircraft you like, test and then adjust the values until you are happy with the results. There is no easy way I'm afraid as it's all trial and error (even for developers!)
Thanks Larry. ;)

I'm up to 16th October, but I'm not sure whether I'm on the same page as everyone else. :$
I'm looking forward to skimming some tyres across water, though you seem to be able to do it with no special adjustment of contact points.
