Landing flare IXEG 1.5

[Robster]

Hello ,
I'm having trouble making my landing flare.
the joystick doesn't react or reacts very slowly, neither pull nor push.
The PA is disconnected.
How can I make it more reactive for a smoother landing.
Thank you for your help.

There is an update upcoming that will likely help you with your landing flare (and the takeoff, too).

Hello

I'm running v 1.5.2 and seem to have the same issue.  Assuming less than a full load of passengers what is the typical fuel amount on board when landing for either a divert or a holding pattern?  I tried a number of approaches and have read the flap schedule/weight/approach speed, etc. How critical is the Vref setting? Even at 140 and bleeding off, the yoke still seems to be unable to flare properly even with that much speed.

The landing looks OK (sort of) but the actual touchdown sounds hard and with a lot of 'smoke' from the tires  

BTW, I love the aircraft and the sounds.

Equip:  Brunner CLS yoke/ Honeycomb Throttle, Ruddo Pedals, Stream Deck XL & +

Hi Charlie,

The previous issue (from 2023) has been resolved and the plane flares fine (in my opinion, but I flew the real one only for 10 years ).

To find the correct approach speed, enter the weight correctly into the FMS and then check on the approach page - it tells you the Vref, add 5kts to that to find the approach speed...technically you are expected to bleed off these 5kts between the threshold and touchdown, but in reality this is rarely done.

If you feel that you lack authority to "pull the nose up", make sure that your center of gravity is within limits, if it is too far forward, the ability to increase pitch will be limited.

To see smoke from the tires is perfectly normal, this is not due to hard touchdown but due to the wheels getting spun up super rapidly when they touch the ground.

Thanks for your professional insight; I will follow your recommendations.  My best guess is that the c/g has been too far forward
