Title: Airmanship question
Post by ddo2 on Mar 7th, 2011 at 3:50pm
First, thanks for everyone who helped me with the flight mods.  That was easy.  (An FYI, for some reason Windows 7 thinks the .air files are installers.  Weird.)  

Anyway, I am finding this plane hard to land.  I'm not sure if its the oscillations of the yoke, or what, but let's say I'm at the FAF of an ILS.  I plan to fly this at 15 degrees of flaps and about 160.  I reduce power to capture the GS and it falls like a rock.  I add power then pitch up a little and it either shoots up or bleeds off airspeed.  Also weird is that sometimes when I'm going down at say 1000 FPM and add power, its first goes toe -1500 and then up to -500.  Eventually, I can usually get it somewhat stable and execute a landing, but I do find the power/pitch combinations to be extremely strange.  Sometimes, carrying what appears to be a lot of power into short final and prone to very quick deceleration.  

I get that the bird had its design issues, but I'm also a real world pilot who's flown dozens of different aircraft types (none turbine, though, although I am aware of turbine lag).  Any tips/pointers about smoothing this out?  

FYI:  I'm flying using FSX SP2, I've done the flight model mods and replaced the gauge file that suppoedly fixes the autopilot pitch control issue.  I do see some odd oscillations of the yoke from time to time but I can't tell if that's just the yoke or also the control surfaces.  

Thanks in advance.

Doug
