I'm using the POSKY 757-200 and ran into a problem at Midway that I haven't
had anywhere else. When taking off from RWY 22L the plane hops up on its
own about half-way down the runway. Then when I raise the gear one of the
wheels won't go up, if I try to land that gear collapses and I hear the
dreaded sound of metal scrapping on asphalt. I tried replicating this with
less fuel load, or on other runways (13C and 31C) or with other airplanes
(default 737 and 777). It appears to only happen on this runway with this
plane. I figure there is a small terrain problem somewhere under that
runway and when the 757 hits it it bounces up and the gear is damaged when
it hits the ground again (maybe it has a lower damage threshold than the
other planes). Can anyone confirm/deny/fix the issue??
