Title: Re: How do you fly it?

I played around with the settings on the TrackIR software for a loooong time til I got it right. I have had it for about 4 mo now, and  istill tweak it now and then.

You can use the pause function and the precision mode as well although I don't use them. But you may find them helpful.

I have over 2500 hrs in the 727. The key to flying a stable aproach is to have a target power setting for the aircraft weight, configuration and rate of descent. Generally you want a 145-155 knot approch speed depending on weight with approx 750 FPM descent rate at flaps 30. You need to find the target power setting that gets you close to those numbers and make small adjustments from there. Only make small adjustmets. Big control inputs or large changes in power will destabilise you.

Years of training and experience get you there. I have been flying for 23 years. I started when I was 16.

I maintained VAPP 155 until I crossed the threshold, and then I reduced power and to reach VREF which was 148kts. landing flaps were set at 30. We don't land 727 at mroe than flaps 30 anymore for noise abatment reasons. Flaps 40 require alot more power which makes alot more noise.

My PC is an i7 920 over clocked to 3.0. my graphics card is a NVidia 9800 GX2. I have 12GB DDR3 1333 OCZ Platinum RAM. I get about 24FPS with REX/FSDT JFK/CS 727.

Unfortunately I am not really good at making tutorials. I have no skills editing footage adding a voice track etc. But I do work on it.
