Hi all,

 

I've been using the PMDG 777 and it's an amazing plane.  I did notice an interesting thing happen recently, I was performing a CAT 3 landing, had LAND 3 in green with FLARE and ROLLOUT but as the minimums came 50, 40, 30 there was no FLARE and quite the hard landing even though the Autopilot indicated a green FLARE.  I haven't tried another landing since but haven't had this issue yet.  I did just install FS2CREW so perhaps a setting? let me know what you think!

 

thanks!

You sure there was no flare? The (real) AP has been intentionally programmed to make a firm landing. It ensures the logic can be used in calm, windy and wet conditions. It's not supposed to be a greaser.

that makes sense, it just felt different for some reason it also sounded harder than normal lol, I will be testing it again soon.

 

thanks for the information!

Made another CAT 3 just now, this one felt normal, I dunno maybe it was just me on the one that seemed rather hard.  Thanks again :rolleyes:

Every auto land I've done in the real 777 has been a 'greaser' . It really is better than the average pilot!
