Reported:

The height of the F-14 from the ground appears wrong.

Every single photo I see of the F-14, no matter the load or action, shows it much closer to the ground

F-14: Adjust gear geometry refs #171
d6d02f9 
FDM:
* Move nose gear up by 4", Main gear up by 10" (based on approximate measurements from the photos)
* Adjust spring coefficients and damping to work with shorter travel struts

3d: adjust animations for gear strut length and compass angles

F-14: Adjust gear geometry (2) refs #171
0f193ed 
The inflight gear didn't look right so this is more adjustments.

- Reverted the contact position changes and reduced the spring coefficient
- Added contact points for the "static ground condition by a hard-step (31.000 psi) in the strut air curve" [1]
- Reworked the nose gear kneel to go deeper (based on photos)
- Moved the nose gear to the previous +2 from ref [2]
