January 8, 200818 yr Hello, Flying into 9Dragons KaiTak runway 13 i need more bank angle than the normal 25 degrees, i can get more when using the autopilot after changing the bank angle in the CFG file but where can i change it for hand flying? Thanks for any help,
January 9, 200818 yr That's strange, what aircraft are you using. I've flown hundreds of approaches with the PMDG mostly and she doesn't need more than 25 degrees when done correctly.PS, you shouldn't be on the Autopilot when in the turn. Your turn should be hand flown. Regards, Max (YSSY) i7-12700K | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 | Gigabyte RTX4090 24Gb | Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE DDR4 | Corsair HX1200 PSU
January 9, 200818 yr I've read that in reality some pilots unfamiliar with landing there banked 45 degrees while pilots more familiar with it didn't need such a drastic angle.
January 9, 200818 yr Wow that's intense. I guess some pilots liked to take the turn late and hard to give themselves a longer straight bit to the runway.

January 9, 200818 yr If you need more than 25deg bank, you are turning too late. Also, as Flyhalf asked, what has the AP got to do with it? You CAN'T land on rwy 13 with it on!!
January 9, 200818 yr Hi, I should have made my question clearer i think, i am using the Fifty North 737 and the Posky 767 and when turning in these aircraft on autopilot they will turn to 25 degrees ok but hand flying the same turns i can't get them to turn the same, ie 25 degrees, Can i change anything in the Air file ? and yes i do know that i am either turning to early or to late to line up with runway 13 but i will have to Practice more!! Thanks for the help guys, Cheers.
January 9, 200818 yr hmm, my turns aren't usually the 47 degrees, they are more like 30....maybe I'm flying the IGS wrong heheHand fly it, much more fun!oh, I think the A/P is limited to 25 deg, or maybe it's 30, can't remember, some have multiple settings | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 9, 200818 yr Hi, Not to worry i'll sort it out, Before anyone says it, its not a 47 degree bank of the aircraft its a 47 degree turn , 88 to 135, i think you would upset the passengers!lol. Thanks again.
January 10, 200818 yr Ah I now see what you mean! Yes, I guess if you go more to the LEFT of the LOC then the turn becomes slightly smaller/easier. The user manual talks about this. Throw in a nice crosswind say 200/20 and you get a huge push as you go round the corner, so you have to stamp on that right rudder. Awsome fun. It's always different.
