October 5, 20214 yr I can' manage to stop at all, at the end of the runway I always have enough speed to take off again from that cliff!

October 5, 20214 yr It's an unrealistic landing challenge. I don't think SABA takes King Airs in real life. The largest aircraft that can land at SABA is the Twin Otter due to its magnificent STOL capabilities - anything else has to be able to stop in a short amount of runway or you end up having a bad day. When I initially saw this challenge I complained due to its unrealistic nature and I was quickly flamed by people in the forums so I didn't talk about it anymore. I much rather have realistic challenges in the sim. Edited October 5, 20214 yr by DMullert Sincerely, Dennis D. Müllert System Specs: MoBo: MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi ATX AM5.

They could split them in two: "challenges" and "impossible missions" or something like that. A.

October 5, 20214 yr Just tried it for the first time and managed to get an A score on first try... you need to practice your skills... And don't forget to use reverse thrust... jw Edited October 5, 20214 yr by Johnny Wyatt

Might lead you to doubt the dev’s choice of challenge formation, but don’t see how you can conclude it challenges the sim’s realism.

At best I can be lucky once in a while but certainly not skilled 😉 Your last two posts imply the problem. Approach speed, braking, and reverse thrust are the skills to practice to allow stopping in time. It's not an airport you would want to practice these skills in real life with an actual aircraft and pilot at risk, but there's no harm in practicing those skills in a sim. 😉 Edited October 5, 20214 yr by Sigwolf PC: I9-10900K, RXT 3090, 64GB RAM, 3840x1080 49" super-ultrawide
October 6, 20214 yr Guys & Gals. I have some maddening news. Apparently the real world has a HORRIBLE flight model. Just ... LOOK ... at ... THIS GARBAGE! Whom ever programmed the real world would be FIRED in a New York MINUTE, if they worked at my company ... Just Sayin'....
