XPlane aircraft too high or too low (wrong offset/CG)
::: {.important} ::: {.title} Important :::
Whenever you change your model's folder (means remove it, move it etc)
you need to re-create your model set so the paths there reflect the real
situation, see createms

Bluebell CSL models sunken in ground/too low (vertical offset fix) -> Solution: Install the
BB_IVAO_vert_offsets
fix (downloadbluebell
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} ) (simply copy the files from theBB_IVAO_vert_offsets
folder over the original ones) and restart X-Plane. Make sure you install it correctly! Do not end up in a cascaded structure, see next item.If all offsets for the BB models are missing, check you haven't ended up if a cascaded directory structure and updated the offsets in the wrong place. This can easily happen if you click on the [rar]{.title-ref} file and extract to a different place. Make sure you only have one
xsb_aircraft.txt
per folder.For an example see
installbb
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}Working folder example:
WRONG folder example, cascaded ("Airbus in Airbus")
- WRONG folder example, offset file folder in
BB
folder
If some individual aircraft seem to be too high or low, you can also check the vertical offset in the
xsb_aircraft.txt
- Normal Jets have values around 2-4 meters as value there, if you see values off the grid maybe this value is wrong
- below you find some examples
OBJ8_AIRCRAFT A320_UAL
OBJ8 SOLID YES __Bluebell_Airbus/A320/A320_UAL.obj
VERT_OFFSET 3.5 <-- meters
AIRLINE A320 UAL
lOBJ8_AIRCRAFT B763_DAL
OBJ8 SOLID YES __Bluebell_Boeing/B763/B763_DAL.obj
VERT_OFFSET 4.44 <-- meters
AIRLINE B763 DAL
OBJ8_AIRCRAFT A306_UPS
OBJ8 SOLID YES __Bluebell_Airbus/A306/A306_UPS.obj
VERT_OFFSET 17.5 <-- UPS, extremely high
AIRLINE A306 UPS
ICAO A30
Checking in the pilot client
You should see these values in the model view if everything is correctly setup.
- 0 means a correct zero value
null
means a value is not existing
Really make sure that you look at the right thing, this is the path
where the model comes from. Check the corresponding xsb_aircraft.txt
file there if it really contains the value. Many people create their
model set from some weird place. If you change your paths, you need to
re-create your model set, see createms
