Low pressure in tyres

Post by LZ-WIL »

Hello everyone,

I was wondering yesterday, as I was doing a walk around - is low pressure in tyres simulated in A2A GA planes? I don't recall ever seeing a low pressure tyre or a flat tyre in my C172, C182 or Cherokee external inspection. Share your experience, if you have seen any tyre pressure difference. :D

We simulate this on our B-17 but while the system worked, it was very resource heavy due to the complexities and traps in the landing gear and ground contact system. It was an elaborate system of layered visuals and manipulating the gear. Once we got deep into the new GA line we shelved this system.
