UH1 sits nose-low on the ground with AFM
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Comparison of landed attitude for UH1:

Top: Using Standard Flight Model (nose high, correct)
Bottom: Using Advanced Flight Model (nose low, weird)

As you can see, when AFM is on, the Huey rests at a rather unnatural flat angle, whereas IRL (and with Standard FM) it should have a static pitch of about 5º or so nose-up.

If you zoom in the bottom image, you can see that the front of the skids are visibly clipping into the ground, due to the aircraft being out of alignment with it's intended static pitch.

This quirk makes it a bit awkward to get "light on the skids", as necessary for a proper safe takeoff procedure. It also looks strange, detracting somewhat from the classic visual appeal of the UH1
