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 |
