I fly the overland boeing and airbus planes. I have no problem with the 737 in any class. What is the landing feet/min are you touching
down? anywhere from 12ft to200 feet is a kiss 200-400 in a nice landing and 400 to 550 is ok landing. Anything over 600 feet per min
landing or touchdown will get you a ruff landing. anything over 500 feet will get you "that was a hard landing"
To change contact points you have to open up the aircraft.cfg file. That file is located within the airplane's folder in fs9
fs9/aircraft/simmer's sky/737/aircraft.cfg. as you scroll down you will see contact points. Make a backup on your hard drive and on a disk.
I know project ai has good planes as well as ai aardvark.
I do not think you need to change the contact points on the 737. Watch your pitch angel and flare on touchdown. Also know your speed at
which to land. I land the 737 around 130knots. Just before decision height I disengage autothrottle and reduce speed a little more and
flare the plane watching my angle of attack to make sure I do not stall. I am sure there are a lot of guys who can teach you better.
I do know that the overland/simmer's sky planes 777 and a330 do have contact points issues. I have used other planes in the class and
landed nice. For some reason my tail hits the ground with those planes. I know my landing angle was good..
Hope this helps
