Hard landing leads to extreme glitchyness

    Hello! if you have any sort of "hard" landing the osprey starts uncontrollably bouncing and you just go into this weird almost clipping before you either flip and crash land or i just had a instance where it carried me into the sky upside down

    first touch down was initial "hard landing" 2nd I was bouncing uncontrolled and that climb i was actually lying upside down tell i just X'ed out

    1. Unfortunately these are the limitations of VTOL physics on MSFS (similar behaviour can be seen on other aircraft utilizing VTOL).

      MSFS can't accurately calculate reacting forces on hard landings with a "non normal" thrust vector. The resulting force is therefore very wrong and ends in unexpected behaviour.

      This is not a problem with regular controlled landings.
