I have this plane for my firefighting company. I get the landing gear/tire damage about once every four days. $260000 a pop. It’s maddening. I’ve tried full fuel less fuel flaps full flaps half. No difference. If I put the prop into beta the plane noses up and I get a tail strike. Beyond frustrating.
I’m experiencing the bouncing also during take off after the speed of 50 Knts, in some Asphalt runways on take off or landing steps, the plane starts bouncing event under V1, V2 or VR.

I am literally wasting countless hours to build up credits and then some pathetic cosing and lack of testing causes one to have to spend all the money earned on repairs. You would not guess MS is a
Here is my example. You can hear the wheels bumping and skidding until the landing gear is damaged and the “hard landing” penalty is given. This resulted in the aircraft needing to be repaired and my rank was lowered after flying a perfect initial attack.
All my pay-out spent on repairs! Beyond frustrating!
