AS6 - Landing issues (not sure if this is weather-related)

Featured Replies

I've had this problem off and on with a variety of aircraft, but I've never been able to pinpoint the problem. However, I thought I'd try in here to see if it might be weather related. I always use AS6 for real weather whenever I fly.Here's the problem in a nutshell: I'm on final approach, and as soon as I get to about a 1/4 mile from the threshold, wham! My plane (always commercial jets, payware, freeware, you name it) seems to get hit by some sort of invisible force (wind?) and pitches nose forward. I can usually recover it with a stealthy pull back on the yoke and some added trim, but I've always wondered what the heck might be causing this. Could it be some sort of ground weather threshold I'm hitting and causing it?It doesn't happen on every single approach, but I'd love to know if someone else experiences this and if there's some setting in AS6 that might be causing it.

Hi,It looks to me to be Wake Turbulence. Disable that and see if this goes away. The effect can last awhile from larger planes. Please let us know.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

I have the feeling you may be right about the problem. I'll get back to this thread after a few flights.Thanks again!

Not weather related me thinks. Had the same in the aeroworx b200 whenever I get to about 5nm final. With me it would get a twitch and move sideways for a few seconds, almost as if someone is stomping on the rudders but will stop almost immediately. Did not have AS installed so definitely not that.

Definately Wake turbulance.I once got this in a VC10 (upper medium/heavy) following 5 miles behind a BAe146??????Ever since I disabled the wake turbulance effects I have never had it again.

You can also get a pitching forward on short final in the Airbus A321 that's included with FSX. It is the FBW (Fly By Wire) controls it has that does it.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2.5 ghz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (94.47), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian
