Odd issue occurring with the C-130J-30, and only the -30.
As far as I can recall this dates back to 21.1.
The left rear main wheel is stuck, and slightly retracted causing a multitude of issues.
For instance on rotation, or touchdown the aircraft tips to the left requiring significant roll to counteract, additionally with a crosswind, the missing tire diminishes the balance of the aircraft also leading to a roll to the left.

I know that the C-130 family in IF is a hodge-podge, Frankenstein mess of an aircraft, but it is really odd that only the stretched Herk would suffer from this.

Hopefully this gets fixed too, like the phantom purple shapes, and missing details that have been fixed previously.

Camera angles could cause distortions like that. (Not perpendicular to wheel) You need to know gear extension or how far below the wheelwell the tires are in order for some corrective action to be taken. If you have exact measurements of what this needs to be, feel free to repost the topic with such documentation. Thanks!
