Just for the doubters who think this model is no good:-
I created one of the worst scenarios pilots had to deal with: Landing into the old Hong Kong (VHHX) Kai Tak International Airport on runway 13 over the hill and buildings.
I modified the default airport adding ILS and had to give it a glide slope of 5.5 degrees to overfly the obstacles. Don't know if ILS was available and I'm pretty sure, if it was, they had to ADD lots of flight maneuvers/corrections.
There’s no way it would work without setting the speed brake drag to 60 in the *.air file as been mentioned by myself at the V0.2 release and others down the line. Slowing this model down is harder than keeping it flying.
I finished up a little long on landing but had plenty of runway to slow to taxi speed.
Grabbing the glide slope.
5.5 Degrees just makes it!!
Stabilizing.
A bit long – Oh well we made it. This bird is great!
