The pitch-up depends on the weight and speed. At low speed you can pull higher. For a normal landing, 5° is too much, I think. Jan did a description of the landing in one of the tutorials, check them out. I think it was like 3° plus from the approach attitude, but I'm not sure. You might want to try to get a feel for the delays between the altitude callouts:

Well, flaring too early will cause a hard landing (airspeed drops close to a stall), so will flaring to late (high vertical speed). Also at what point you idle the throttles is important. Just before you flare, your vertical speed will be about 700 fpm, or in other words 10-15 feet/sec, so timing the flare just 1 sec +/- wrong will put you 10-15 feet away from where you should be causing a non-smooth landing. Jan can give you much better advice than I can, but I bet he'll tell you a smooth landing is not something real pilots aim for because that can cause you to land too far into the runway (float) which might be dangerous, tail strike, cost extra fuel/time missing exit's, wear on brakes etc.

I bought it (75 dollars), now I think that I can like or dislike what I read here.

I have! I tried it again after posting above ... AND IT WORKED! I do not understand why, but all day yesterday and early this morning I could not get it to work. Sorry for the trouble, but all good now. Cheers PS: In case it helps, I re-installed AIRAC 1702 in case that was the problem, but it still did not work. An hour later, with no further action, it worked. Go figure!

Vref+5 is a common approach speed if there is no wind. edited: As Jan says below, you need vref at touchdown, not over the threshold as I said. However, the threshold should be right below you with the "50" callout (this way you can tell whether you are high/low, and anticipate the effect on landing on the right spot).

To an extent I'd say that every landing is unique in its own way. Generally I flare as documented but due to turbulence, wind or just questionable flying by the pilot () my speed might be off, or my sinkrate increased very quickly, making me flare and idle the throttles at diffrent times than I generally would. You kind of need to "get a feel" of the aircraft, much like driving a car you know how it will react if you do X and Y. I'm no pilot so I can't speak for the legitimacy of my actions, but hey it works!

If you come in on the ILS, your approach angle (the path the plane takes) is usually 3 degrees. So you must pull up BY 3 degrees to enter level flight - not TO 3 degrees. In other words, notice your attitude as you fly down the ILS (it might be anywhere from 0 to 5 degrees nose-up) and then ADD 3 degrees to it when you flare. Example: During approach you determine your attitude to be 4 degrees nose-up to stay on the glideslope. For flare, pull up to 4+3 = 7 degrees nose-up. Thats all there is to it! (Well, in theory... ) Jan

why is that so important? I don't give any importance to likes neither here nor on fb... if XA didn't want this, they would probably cut off the option . why bring that up publicly, send him a PM... sounds a bit like elementary school tbh.

no surprise to me, a few surprises on the charts though... didn't know JAR had a CRJ :-)

Glad to hear you ve got it working!

Ok, took a few shots for you guys - so you know that we are not making this stuff up : Distance to go and ETA for next active waypoint displayed on top line of EHSI: Improved symbology when IRS units not aligned: INOP labeling on the TERRAIN button of First Officer (yes, we are working on having it display on his side, too). Also new EGPWS control panel: INOP label on logo light switch if winglets are fitted: lbs labeling on the fuel gauges if imperial units are chosen: Opening cockpit door (note that the cabin is still WIP and will improve in the future (better 3D/textures/lighting): TERRAIN ON DISPLAY button, and TCAS symbology (showing a proximity traffic): Cheers, Jan

Hi Tested and much better for me now. Thanks for you work. Is there a way for the user to adjust the volume, I'm interested to see how they sound when they are a bit quieter. Cheers Iain

Made a new version now that is compatible with XP 10.51.

A bit off topic but this @Raphaelvix guy seems to be an interesting case. He has never posted any content in the forums but yet I see him voting down so many posts regarding X-Plane development content like here in the IXEG subforum. If you really have a problem with a product or with a person, why don´t you post your issue in the forums or talk to the persons like a normal adult person? Discouraging people who try to improve our world of X-Plane seems the wrong answer to me...
