Bouncy Landing with Flight FX MD-80

[TopGun 0]

Hi there, Can someone provide me with a few tips to help me land this bird bounce-free? Here's my usual procedure on short final and landing:I usually maintain Vref and as I cross the runway threshold, I gradually reduce power and at approximately 20 feet above the runway, I reduce power to idle, flare gently and bounce once or twice before I settle onto the runway. I've tried to reduce Vref, landing with 5%fuel, almost everything that I can think of but to no avail.Any help will be greatly appreciated.ThanksJ.C.(MYNN)Note: I'm using the MD-83 panel by Marco Diaz.

Any ideas?

My only guess would be that you are hitting the ground to hard, try flaring a bit sooner. Hit the ground at ~ 200 fpm if possible.http://www.dr3w.net/wut.jpgDrew Anderson- drew@dr3w.net

On one occasion, I managed to land with a descent rate of around 100 f.p.m, so I think that the descent rate is not an issue in my case, Drew. Might be a case of tweaking the aircraft cfg file, maybe?
