December 11, 200421 yr Does anybody know the correct pitch angles for this beautiful bird?I get a cruise pitch angle at normal Mach speed of zero; pitch angles during descent of -3 to -4 degrees at VS of -2000 to -3000 fpm; and approach pitch at the recommended "China-graph" Vat speed of -1 deg to the threshold. These may be correct, but after flying Boeings for years with pitch-UP in most phases, flying the VC-10 feels rather strange and I am wondering if these pitch angles are normal.I'd ask David Maltby, but he's posted a note saying he cannot answer any emails at this time.I appreciate any assistance on this, thanks!JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
December 11, 200421 yr Hi.I would suggest you head over to the 'Classic British Flight Sim' forum, and ask your question there. It is moderated by Dave Maltby, and even if he's not around there are scores of VC-10 fans just waiting to answer your question. One of the moderators is a current RAF VC-10 pilot himself, so you'll get the definitive answer I'm sure!Heres the link... http://www.classic-sky.co.uk/cbfsimV3/view...645b45a46b6e79aBest regards,Al.
