I was flying a few missions before the update just to upgrade my "passenger level of satisfaction" after a few accidents that brought it bellow 75%, and I was already up to 84% again, when I installed the patch...

 

Well, I confess I was using th "N" key to jump to the next checkpoint, and before the patch there was no stability problem in doing so after takeoff. It would simply bring you to approach phase, but the aircraft would start in that phase perfectly satbilized. Now almost every time I use the "N" key after takeoff, when the airplane respawns at the approach phase it jumps up, and the passenger imediately complain, sometimes even throw off :-(.... Of course, in the end and even after a perfect landing, I get nothing for the passenger satisfaction :-(((

Is it some greater sensitivity to wind? Or does this happen in fair weather themes as well?

Hi Devon :-)

 

It happens on any weather theme and flying on mouse or joystick mode :-(

Well, I was going to try and reproduce it, but just noticed that when I lost my missions and etc recently it apparently also reduced my level (again) and I am not even eligible to fly a passenger run. :-(

 

Good grief.......

^{I was doing a quick passenger job and I did use the dreaded "N" because I did not have much time. The wife can't understand how I can just sit and stare at the gages for an hour when I could be doing something usefull. Well anyway, when I came out of warp I was looking into the face of a mountian, so I yanked back on the stick and just cleared the top. The passengers where not appreciative at all, complain, complain. They did not much like the landing either.}

Try the "watching a soap" comparison....

Oops! I'm sorry for that :-(

I find those hours useful for practicing musical instrument scales. Can it be that two boring things at the same time cancel each other out somehow :-)?

I could always point out my counterparts time spent on Farmville..........

 

That's different, of course........ :Whistle:

My passengers never like my flying, quite surprised that I'm offered any jobs to be honest.

It's that darned co-pilot who doesn't like my flying, always putting me down. I swear if he criticizes my flying skills one more time, I'm going to smash the Maule into the side of a mountain. No, wait, I already did that... twice. :LMAO:

 

Best regards.

I had trouble at first as well. After I upgraded from an Xbox controller to a yoke, it started getting better. The Xbox controller was just a little too twitchy to keep the passengers happy on landing.

 

The other thing that really helped was flying a proper approach, often using the FAA charts for that. That tended to bring me in at just the proper angle so I wasn't doing major corrections while over the runway.

 

The main thing to keep my passengers happy, though, was to stop trying to land "on the numbers". I coast out down the runway further and let the plane slip down to the ground easy. They seem to like that much better, and most of the runways have plenty of length for the Maule.

Cheers for the tips Kengi. I'm currently playing with a generix Xbox controller and often experience over sensitive controls.
