I know it's difficult to say. At this point, I've shot so many landings it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to be objective in making my subjective assessments, so to speak.
What I make it a point to do is perform intentionally rough landings - then view the response of the suspension on the recorded track. I am going to post a few more revisions in drop box for you to try out and perhaps I'll attach a txt. file that defines the alterations.
They can be opened and edited with the downloadable program called Notebook++ so feel free to tweak away. The quest for optimal settings is time consuming to say the least since every adjustment has some affect on every other setting dynamically and must be balanced accordingly in the ideal case.
This is the most recent set up I tried which has some pretty dramatic alterations that I made just to see what would happen. It's of particular interest because I never expected it to work very well at all, although it does appear to. I'd really like some feedback on it because this sort of thing is really best evaluated by multiple test pilots. As I mentioned I'm getting to the point where I've tested so many different set-ups that I'm not sure i trust my own opinion anymore! For this one I did my test landings with no flaps just to see how difficult it was to keep the aircraft rolling down the center of the runway.
Here's what I changed: Every value with the word 'Damper' in it - main gear and tail wheel - has been reduced to 10% of the original value while everything else is set to the default values. If it is an improvement then the problem has been that the undercarriage was prevented from responding quickly enough. Originally it seemed that the opposite was the case, and that the side to side oscillation or resonance was caused by an under-damped set-up.
I'm very curious to hear your opinions on this one. The changes are highlighted in red:
