Morten, does wind comes into account regarding ground effect. the greater is the headwind component, the later i have to flare. with no HD component i start to flare gently at 30fts but with a HD like 15kts, I have to start near 15-20Fts, otherwise i will float too much

@OP, you need to flare à 5° pitch but then you need to hold that pitch by applying/keeping some back pressure until touchdown. from the tip given by a B737Cl/NG pilot and my experience with the IXEG: if at 30fts yourV/S is <-700fts/min, start slowly to flare,then at 20 feets, flare +2/+2.5° and maintain that pitch until touch down. At 10fts, reatrd slowly the throttle to idle. If at 30 fts, your V/S is approx at -700fts, you just need to flare +2/+2.5° at 20fts and retard at 10 fts. start to look @8:05, and watch the yoke input at 30 Fts until touch down.

@ XPUIPC user, is there an option to tweak wind direction/speed rate ?

I had too, all the sudden my bank angle increased about +- 20° lol ie huge aileron correction needed

Can't Xpuipc do that, On P3D with FSUIPC registered, you could tweak the change rate of the wind like 1° or 1kt per second

I use the crab technic, you only use your rudder to decrab during the flare. Besides, the Vref was 129kts, I set Vapp to 140 on the MCP, so that +6Kts for the wind (129+5kts (mandatory)+6kts. even if i added 2-3kts, more, i wouldn't think it would have changed something. So my question is, is this behaviour correct ? again the wind intensity is not the matter here, It seems that even small speed and direction changes make the b733 very uncontrollable on the contrary, it's realistic, the wind never stay steady ( direction and speed wise )

Hi guys, After an approach where the wind direction was changing like+-20° where it was nearly impossible to control the aircraft, I peprformed a test: the first 2 approach were manual flown, Ap off approx 1000-1200 fts 3rd approach : auto land 4th approachsteady wind direction and speed, and the plane behaved much better : it seems that the B737 is extremly sensible to wind direction and speed even if there are little, in the video above , wind direction changed +- 25° and speed about +-5 Kts which is not a big deal. but as you can see i should have Go around each time except the last 2 ones. If you compare with the last approach, you can assert that it's the wind speed/direction changes that makes the aircraft uncontrolable. it seems that the aircraft has no inertia, the wind direction goes from 220° to 245° and suddently the bank angle has increased of 20° lol. maybe the real one perform like this but I don't know

thank you, just reduced the pax sound about 15-20%, I can hear those lovely wheeltrim sound now

Thank you very much

I don't understand???, you can manually move the CG of the aircraft, you just have to apply the trim indicated in the ground service popupand not the value indicated by the FMC always stuck to 4.8 CMB Sent from Tapatalk

Maybe not, they haven't modeled it yet

I was wondering if the version of the FMC modelled is above or below 10.8? http://www.b737.org.uk/fmc_u108.htm

Airline2sim told me that they will release some payware content near winter 2016 if the schedule of Jonny allows it.

Well I struggle to flare correctly in cavok conditions....

You mean autoland ILS cat 1??? Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

fair enough

Jan i flied a rnav approach in VNAV/LNAV but during the descent, i've set to the FAF a speed contraint = Vref +5kts (135kts) in the FMC leg page but after setting landing flaps, the speed is set to 140 kts instead of 135, it is the seond time that it has done that to me, ot seems that he maintains the speed constraint value +5kts. i can provide a video this evening if needed

Not at all, skymax will only replace the default xplane cloud

The right CG is the one given in the ground service pop up menu

Lol, read above, in the ground service pop up, Also trim value is based on Cg and not weight

Nice video done airline2sim with a real B737CL pilot : http://flightsimcentral.net/airline2sim-ixeg-737-full-flight-now-live/

thank you

Set it at MDA +50fts

Could we have a slider to increase the trim wheel servo, i can barely hear them lol xP
