Strange. I just checked the landing gear on the 737-200 and I can't see all of the tires because they are slightly beneath the surface. They look flat on the bottom of them.

Same, mine seem good   

Iʻve noticed that weight is a factor. try adding weight to the max and see what it looks like then subtract and compare

I had a look and on landing, the wheels do seem to be above the runway.

So you might want to try changing these settings in the aircraft.cfg:

[contact_points]
point.0 = 1,   30.00,   0.00, -10.20, 1600, 0, 1.00, 56.00, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9, 4.0, 4.0, 0, 220.0, 250.0
point.1 = 1,  -11.00,  -9.38, -12.50, 1600, 1, 1.70,  0.00, 1.5, 1.4, 0.9, 6.9, 6.9, 2, 220.0, 250.0
point.2 = 1,  -11.00,   9.38, -12.50, 1600, 2, 1.70,  0.00, 1.5, 1.4, 0.9, 7.1, 7.1, 3, 220.0, 250.0

By reducing those three, the aircraft might look like the wheels are touching the ground when it lands.

Note: point.0 = nose wheel, point.1 = left wheel and point.2 = right wheel

I've just made a very interesting observation:

If the tanks are full: Tires are really solid (even a bit flat) on the ground
If the tanks are empty: Tires are a bit above ground

In both situations, the total payload was 8749 kg according to ACE.

When I did that landing (see pic above) the amount of fuel was close to the minimum; therefore tires were a bit above ground level.

However, they should always be on the ground. Consequence: some tweaking is necessary.
And this also may show that the number of passengers and amount of cargo are not reflected in terms of strain on the tires/landing gear.

Can you confirm this, Mark?

My setup is that my 737-200 has the max passengers, max cargo and 100% fuel, so that the total weight of the aircraft is no more that 100lbs above the max. This info is all according to the FSX Fuel and Payload page. So my settings are:

Captain                        180
First Officer                   180
116 x Passengers       20880
10 Cargo                     2950
Total                         24190

EW                            59800
Payload                     24190
ZFW                          83990

Add fuel                     32026
GW                           116016

So I am over the MTOW by 16 pounds, but that will be burned off by both the APU and the taxiing.

The only change to this that I make, is to lessen the fuel for the shorter flights. I love a full plane!

I'll give the 11.9 numbers a go and I'll let you know what I think.

11.9 Looks pretty good to be honest. At a very low weight, my 737 looked like the tires were on the ground on landing.
