A serious problem that I've been having lately is my 757 bouncing during taxi if I switch to an external view. I'm not sure what causes it so I'm hoping that I can get some help here.
During taxi sometimes I'll switch to the spot view especially in tight quaters so I can keep an eye on my wing tips. All of a sudden the plane just starts bouncing. Often times to the point that there is smoke coming from the tires and marks left on the ramp. This usually ends up registering a crash then I have to start the whole thing over again. It only seems to happen with our 757s.
The only new program that I've added recently is FSPassengers. Other than that its just the PMDG, LevelD, and Ultimate Traffic. Those last three have been installed for some time and I've never had any issues with them.
I did go and get the latest 757 installer a few days ago and ran it. I just haven't had the oppurtunity to fly since then.
Any help/suggestions you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you look at the FSPax website that is caused by the computer redrawing the screen. It is in their suport forums under tail strikes or somthing

Well not sure about the FSpax cause it used to be happening to me to and I don't use FSpax the only thing is that in Display setting all of mine are set at or Above Medium Low. Hope that helps.

It happens to me in Paris trying to taxi to the north runways at de Gaulle. FSPax is not the problem.
It's as if the taxiway or part of the ramp doesn't exist and you're taxiing on the ground. I suspect that it's an FS2K2 and FS9 bug that probably has to do with AFCAD files and where the taxiiways and ramp areas are located. Just because we can see them in the simulation doesn't mean they are actually there.

it happens to me quite a bit
one thing I've noticed was that it usually only happens when I'm using an addon airplane which is 99% of the time but there's never any particular spot where it does it it's just a random glitch for me

I've had it happen in the default B737 and the Grand Caravan.
I hate that an automaker stole that name. Everytime I hear that word I think of flying a Plymouth.

This happens to me only since I installed Pax. Now it happens even when I am parked at the gates and I go to external view. The plane just starts bouncing and eventually stops. This has happened in the 757, 737, and the CRJ700 from our fleet. It doesn't start doing this until I have started a FSPax flight though. Hope this helps.

The only time it happens to me is when I'm in KATL. It started happening when I purchased the SIMFLYERS KATL scenery. I guess they got a "couple" of bugs in there. Oh well.
