Is the "shock absorber" too good to be realistic?

[Dr. Anti-Vehicle]

When watching carrier landing videos from real life, the plane bounces violently after touchdown. While in DCS, the landing gears seem to absorb all the impact energy like a champ. Same thing with the plane when moving on the ground because the plane is really steady. If we can make the plane more bouncy and mimic the "roughness", that would be nice imo.

Yep, the plane is missing the bounce after you slam it on the deck/field. It definitely is not just you.

+1!

 

Did ask the same some posts ago.

it´s one of the main things that cut imersion to me is lack of bouncing after landing on the deck. The landing animation is too artificial.

+1, I think I requested this long time ago. Most DCS planes tend to lack proper suspension effects once on the ground as it seems way too stif (no bouncing). Exceptions could be Mig-29 (excelent ground interaction) and F-16.

Yes, carrier trapping is definitely lacking "violence"

[Alpiinoo]

Yeah, will be cool.

I already reportet it:

BIGNEWY said it will be part of the flight model review. I can't wait for it
