A340 climb and approach attitude

[lluisdc 0]

Good day,

 

I have seen some posts on these issues but are too old and do not allow me to reply them directly. Thus, I had to create this new topic.

 

On one side, Bob Scott gives a link (now broken) to download some FDE files to correct the approach attitude of the A340-300.

 

I had a problem with the approach attitude of the A320 which was corrected changing the value of the lift_scalar. It seems that the same can be done with the A340-300. Could anyone confirm it and which should be the right value?

 

On the other side, I have an "initial climb" problem with the A340-300 which looks like a fighter (in words of another member of this forum). It appears that the problem can be solved by setting the flex temperature to some two degrees above the OAT. Is that correct? Is there any other solution?

 

Any help on this will let me fly the A340-300 again and more reallistically.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Bob Scott's replacement fde is still here :

I use them also.

The Pss A330/340 becomes "flyable" only with Bob's files !

 

In Fs9 I used his files "as they are".

In FSX, for the A340, in the Flaps.1 section I modified

lift_scalar = 1.0 (instead of 0.7).

This way I get and approach nose-up attitude of 2.5-3° (instead of 6°)

Thank you very much,

 

I am now testing it and the only thing I can see is a somewhat "nose up" attitude in full landing configuration. Will continue testing.

 

By the way, I am using FS9.

 

Thanks again,
