January 10, 200422 yr I've been manually landing all my aircraft for months now, and never even tried the NG's autoland, let alone LOC capture. My question is, how can I get on the centerline and stay there? It always seems as though I drift left or right and constantly have to adjust, therefore always landing on either side of center, even without wind. I know some will say practice, but I need to know if there's a secret to staying center. Everything else about my landing and approach is near perfect. Do real pilots in heavies have to adjust often during final or is this just me? I always feel as though the plane is banking when I'm on final and adjust my center, however, real heavies never look like they list at all!Chris - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
January 10, 200422 yr Chris....This has been a common problem identified by many others.The good news is that PMDG is aware of it and is even attempting to fix this amoung other FMC related issues. Peter Osborn
January 10, 200422 yr Author I'm not sure that's the problem I'm having. I'm landing on the runway, but not the centerline. I've never had the problem where I can't stay straight on course, just small deviations. This happens with other planes as well.Chris - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
