Thywillbedone Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi All, I was wondering whether there is a fix for the ground handling issues I am having…perhaps due to my skill level but I notice upon landing that many 'heavy' aircraft feel/handle a lot lighter than they should and have a tendency to careen left and right on landing far too easily even with light/no (cross)wind. This is also noticeable on takeoff: compare a real life heavy aircraft cockpit takeoff video and the plane stays planted on the centreline on takeoff…with XP I find it a struggle to stay on the line and all aircraft have a strong tendency to drift left and right and one ends correcting/overcorrecting. Only exception I have found is the Q400 (only named for this particular reason)…it tends to feel like you would expect, 'weighty'. For reference i am using a logitech extreme pro 3d joystick and this may be part of the issue when making corrections (it being tricky to twist and move the stick at the same time)…but my main point remains: why do the aircraft behave so light? An example is the CRJ200 where the front bounces a lot on takeoff feeling like a GA aircraft. Thoughts? T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
