The 757 (FSX) flared beautifully in autoland yesterday into the same runway and same airport, Los Angeles runway 25L.

But today, after a beautiful flight as Delat 438 Heavy nonstop from Atlanta to Los Angeles conneced to VATSIM, crazy traffic in LA, PSS continental (spoke with pilot) out ahead of me on approach and no flare ... smack into the runway and the 767 will be down for maintainance for weeks.  :D

I know it must work although I have owned the 767 for not very long I know it can but why did it not?

is there anychance of the autoland being corrected. the aircraft does not flare
i apologize if this has been said before.

Only thing I can think of is it sounds like maybe you guys are not setting the altimeter right and therefor the plane doesn't know when to flare. Just a guess, not watching what your doing, but I never seen this happen with altimeter set right. Are all the GPWS callouts right as you are approaching runway? Again just a guess.

Are you nailing your VREF speed?  I find that makes a difference.

After setting your altimeter to the correct setting have you set the decision height in the EFIS?   Just a thought

+1, very important to be on speed.

Everything is set correctly and professionally for an ILS CAT III Approach as with a another company 767 model - but this CS 767 simply won't flare out correctly as it is suppose to - IAS 167 and flaps 25 and the CS  lands with it's nose wheel first! - what is this???      >:(

In CAT II or III (A,B,C) conditions you should have flaps at 30 and airspeed at around 145-135 depending on wieght on short final. You must set everything perfectly, and sometimes you must interfere with the autopilot, and set DH to 50 even though there are no minimums. 167 sounds too fast on short final, not even the A380 or 747 has that high of speed on final. As long as you aren't at MLW. The procedures should be in the manual, but sometimes it does flare, but if you are decending at -1000ft/m or so at 100ft you MUST pull back on the yoke, joystick, ect... Because chances are, it won't Flare. I'm not sure if CS have been looking into this, but sometimes it will, but you must be AT your VREF speed. That is all I can say now.

Okay, actually the range lies between 140-145 KIAS with 767. Anyway this crab wont even flare out at 135 KIAS! It's way out, if you are suppose to PULL back the yoke on an Autoland - In the real world and in well functioning sims you actually have to slightly PUSH the yoke in order to get the nose wheel the last bit down to the runway!
This issue is absolutely essential and can't figure out why CS just neglects this. The model is indeed eyecandy all the way through - but what's the point if you can't land this thing properly?
