August 28, 201114 yr Hi all, The nose up angle on touch down seems to be not realistic.Having seen quite a lot pictures of 737-800 at the moment of touchdown there is clearly to be seen that in real world the nose up angle is higher (about 5%).With the NGX, although coming in with the correct speed and correctly configured, the aircraft touches down almost leveled and the front gears touch down almost immediately after main gears touch down.And if you give it a slightly more pitch up then you flare for half the runway...I can not be sure of course but I believe the NGX is simulated much more slippery than in real world. You struggle to bring it down correctly. As if you are coming in for landing with +10 knots... Could anyone of the PMDG stuff position himself on this? Thanks,Christos

August 29, 201114 yr In the threads referenced above, there is a simple fix for this issue that requires a small edit to your PMDG aircraft.cfg file. Back up your original first, make the quite file edit, fly, and enjoy! :) You can't screw anything up too bad. If you feel ostracized, guilt-ridden, experience suicidal thoughts, etc, after so doing simply copy your original aircraft.cfg file back over your edit.

August 29, 201114 yr Back up first,remember no PMDG support In the flaps.0 section of the aircraft cfg...Change this line... lift_scalar = 1.0tolift_scalar = 0.8This will give you precisely two degrees pitch up on a 3 degree glidesope. It will also give you a much better flare of 4 degrees. Exactly what the manuals say you should have. Don't know if this tweek will hose the other performance numbers.

August 29, 201114 yr Are you sure and aware of what you're doing there? I'll be happy to try it, but I'm not sure what it will all affect.
August 29, 201114 yr I just copyed the mod from one of the links above ,for the guyIts not my hack.

August 29, 201114 yr Are you sure and aware of what you're doing there? I'll be happy to try it, but I'm not sure what it will all affect. Won't hurt to try it. It is just 2 digits your changing. I already made the change and am gonna test it out today. If it don't work good I will just stick the 1.0 back in and no harm done. Paul Deemer
August 31, 201114 yr Hello.Anyone tested this out yet? Does it affect the lift on takeoff and other flap settings beside 30 and 40 also?Thank you.Bye,Jan Urban
August 31, 201114 yr Just curious if PMDG has tested it and whether or not they advice to use this mod ? 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
August 31, 201114 yr Anybody try this yet? Derek Lane Passenger Division Vice-President AirHaul Airline Alliance
August 31, 201114 yr I have to think that with real world pilots testing the aircraft that this value is correct and does not need adjustment. Mark CYYZ
August 31, 201114 yr No, the aircraft behaves correctly, it's the ground effect which is too strong. -Iain Watson-
