Title: Re: New Flight Model
Post by Michael2 on Jan 19th, 2010 at 7:16pm
Hi Joseph,

I did look at what you said about cruise power at 25,000 feet and you are right that the specified power is inadequate.  All my testing and tweaking was at more conventional cruise altitudes of around 30-35,000 feet and then at low altitude low speed conditions.  To improve this issue would involve substantially re-doing one of turbine tables in the airfile and I am not sure I when if ever I will have time to do that.  For a conventional flight with high altitude cruise, the tables work well for Mach .8 or .78 cruise.  I never bothered with Mach .84, so I don't know if that works well.

I have once (last night in fact)had a problem with going from flaps 15 to 30 at too high a speed immediately after catching the glide slope (on autopilot)and ending up in a significantly nose down attitude when the aircraft ballooned up well above the glide slope due the increased lift.  That was my error and the autopilot didn't cope well with the result or with my flailing about the throttle levers.  I guess what I am saying is maybe you did have the mod installed properly but the approach went wrong for some other reason.  But I have done many, many approaches that went perfectly with this flight model.

Really i think the most likely explanation is that you are getting way too much flap lift because of some error in modifying the config file or somehow getting a mismatch in pairing the right config and air files.

I know there are some imperfections with the flight model and some of them I am sure will eventually be sorted, but I have very limited time to so.  Personally, I like the result -- it works for the flights I have done with it so I thought I would share my work for those who want to try it.
