unable to reproduce Struts not compressing on landing after first takeoff

[Nealius]

Got a weird one. I'm assuming I somehow broke something by mishandling her, but I don't know what or how. 

Starting off at Andersen, taxi out a bit and take off normally. Do some practice approaches on the North Field runway with LHA deck markings. On first landing maybe I hit too hard? Power lever full down, torque reading 13, reset trim. Struts are extended fully and aircraft bobbles.

Second approach, same thing, but this time I ease the stick forward thinking my trim reset didn't work. I somehow lift the tail and stand on my nose.

Come back to Andersen and land on the taxiway I took off from. Struts still stay full extended, bobbling. I add power (about 16 torque-ish?) to taxi and the tail comes up. Forgot to turn of the AFCS, so I turn it off and try to taxi again. Now I'm spinning anti-clockwise and don't understand what's going on.

Track is a bit long but should show the problem. https://we.tl/t-5TrpMx8iGM

Ran another one. Landing in the grass okay. Landing on Andersen taxiway and the struts stay extended, attempting to taxi results in sliding all over the place. I hover-taxi to a parking spot. Struts still fully extended. Upon shutting down the engines, the struts finally compress.

Hello @Nealius

Unfortunately, your track doesn't replay correctly as the mission requires mods. This could also be your problem, please disable these mods temporarily and try again to replicate the issue.

I tried performing a couple of hard landings but could never get the results you mention. The damage model for the CH-47F is not yet complete and you could have encountered a small glitch. But, without a proper track, we just can't confirm it.

Oh nuts forgot I had those Saved Games mods; however those have been on in previous version where there had been no gear strut issues. One thing I noticed, however, is that the struts compress once turning on the APU.
