how do resizable wheels work?

Im trying to make a landing gear with the resizable wheels, but somehow it kept bouncing and making a huge braking noise in tarmac.. anyone know how to fix or help?

    @BoxGlow hmm.. i can't find the com.jundro.simpleplanesOSX file in my container.. i might learn XML later on, in the meantime i'll just ask someone to help. Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!

    XML modding is confusing at first..

    Here a good breakdown of the entries in the xml file

    no.. you need to access the file itself from C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns on windows... and /Users/NAME/Library/Containers/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/com.jundroo.SimplePlanesOSX/AircraftDesigns for Mac

    find the name of your plane and open it with notepad or notepad++..

    @BoxGlow i never did XML, but do you press ` or ~ to bring up the console for it?

    @ChaMikey add disableAircraftCollisions="true" to xml entry of the part in question

    example:

    Part id="1" disableAircraftCollisions="true" partType="Wheel-Resizable-1" position="0,0,0" rotation="0,180,0"

    @BoxGlow @Skua ah yep that works, thanks guys. one more problem though, is it possible for the wheel to clip in fuselages? like how the old landing gear works..

    Increasing the damper strength and reducing forward traction should help a bit.

    there is a bug with the resizeable wheels.. if you pull one from the parts list it will vibrate and screech just like you described..

    but, if you use the resize-wheel from Lil bugger or from any designs uploaded before 1..4.0.3 then they should work properly
