How do I use shocks properly?

331 Kirby144p  5.3 years ago

I wanted to ask this a long time ago so here we go:

I can't think of any way to make shocks act perfectly and not collapse constantly.
This always happens to nose gears of heavier planes which weigh more than
10.000 Kilograms or 22.000 Pounds. For some reason the rear gear works fine. I've tried a spring strength of 8000% (80 in XML) and 80000% (800 in XML) as well as a damper of 4000% (40 in XML) and 40000% (400 in XML) and they both deliver the same results

Can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone else experiencing the same? Please tell me!

    Use multiple shocks instead of one, generally this spreads out the weight instead of on one point
