December 7, 20196 yr Don't worry once aerosoft release the 330 next week you'll see plenty of 11 year olds doing circuits in it at Gib, Szg and Inn next week. I'm really excited about getting it but the poor controllers at Egkk and the 3 above airports are going to get hammered next week with 'real simmers' under the age of 12

December 8, 20196 yr When I first got the PMDG 737 in FSX it would take me an hour to set everything up. I started pushback and was hit by a fuel truck which reset the sim and lost all my hard work. Then it happened again. That's when I set crash detection to OFF and make sure it stays OFF with each and every update of the sim. So no, I'm not a "real" simmer in any sense of the word.

December 8, 20196 yr The crash detection in FSX/P3D is so bad that switching it off could arguably be considered as increasing the realism.

The best you might be able to do is to steer is so that it isn't going to hit anyone on the ground, ie by crashing into the water. However, this question often comes up, could it be done by a person. It has never happened, never been required. And whatever happened to the captain and FO would take you out as well. If the best you could do is a guaranteed 100% crash landing, you need to spend more time with the QOTS2. It’s not that hard to set up an autoland.

December 9, 20196 yr Even if the aircraft doesn't have autoland it would be a much better idea to simply let it fly down the ILS and touchdown unflared. Btw, (at least) the MD80 had an undocumented flare feature in case the AP remained engaged.

Btw, (at least) the MD80 had an undocumented flare feature in case the AP remained engaged. These conversations come up from time to time. theres a subset if people who are adamant that you’d have no hope of landing. My thoughts: If your odds are 0%, you’re not a serious simmer. Simulation, at its heart, is a training technique. PMDG verisimilitude is extremely good. In short, it’s a useful training tool. If you’ve got hundreds if hours of QOTSII time, you know a LOT about the aircraft, Stay calm, think about what you know - what to do with MCP and CDU, for example - and land the darn plane. Just be very, very careful if you decide to touch the yoke!

December 9, 20196 yr Disconnecting the AP wouldn't be a good idea in any case. One of the companies I worked for thought that it would be a good idea to save money and do the complete 767 type rating on the sim, without a single pattern on the real aircraft. When I hand flew the first ILS on the 767 the touchdown would have been basically unflared if the IP wouldn't have intervened with a rapid and large flare movement within the second because the airplane handled a lot different than the sim. The nose down moment due to the thrust reduction was noticable higher and the required pull force on the yoke was way higher. This happened with almost 10000 hours of airline and jet experience. I'd guess than 99% of the desktop sim users would be very surprised about the high forces required to move the yoke and the flightsim users with Level D experience would be surprised that the real aircraft is much more stable and handles noticeable different than the Level D sim. The short final is a real bad moment to be surprised 😉 Edited December 9, 20196 yr by FDEdev

It's astonishingly different from what I have ever experienced in other platforms ... PSX is one of a kind in simulating good-old 744 ...

Hmmm Jet FDEs ... well, I think I begin to know who you are 🙂 Eheheh ... Shhhhhh Well, actually the very first great experience with tuned jet fdes was the one I had with Ron's modified 737 for fs2004/ fs9 and also a T-37 he worked on. Since you can't be him, there's not much of an alternative, being the base - good / excellent FDEs 😉 Look fwd to see you creating again, this turn around for the new MFS FDM !
