August 14, 2025Aug 14 Bought the Aerosoft CRJ V2 last night and took it out for a spin at EIDW. On approach, gear down, flaps 30 as I recall, on final at 500 ft/min decent, got my markers, around 135 knots … tiny decrease in throttle and the aircraft dropped like a rock -1500ft/min. Applied a ton of power to start a go around … it was UGLY! I went from, going to nail this landing to … I’m gonna crash in a couple of seconds. Winds were mild, slight crosswind but not much (EIDW). 1. Is this how the Real world aircraft responds? 2. Where should I be on the throttle settings and descent rate for stable approach? Rob.

August 14, 2025Aug 14 You need full flaps for all landings. 135 knots indicated airspeed is too slow for flaps 30.

August 14, 2025Aug 14 Agree with the responses above (I am CL65 rated), full flaps and a 2.5 degrees nose up should do the trick. The flight model has been improved and it flies much better than previous version. It's too bad no one is doing a 200 version,many differences (Flight model, less automation, etc.) than the 550/700/900 (I must admit the 200 is a dog in the summer and you wont find anyone loving that bird lol)

August 15, 2025Aug 15 I will often be at 150 to 160 at 200 feet from the threshold before powering lower. With those reverse throttles available, stopping is not usually a problem and you have much more control of the airplane. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
