Asking for help: Flying Jets - dschoene - 15-03-2008
Hi,
Asking y'all for a bit of help. After finally reaching C6 I got meself a Jet - the default Learjet 45. But somehow i'm seem way too thick to fly these
things. Somehow every control input seems to be reacted to like one week later.
I do a lot of flying in russia where people don't know if ILS issomething to eat, most airports don't even have a PAPI. I tried my luck at Briansk yesterday and couldn't get the thing down, same went for Moscow Vnukovo today. Both I canceled because I racked up minus-point equalling the GBP of a third world country.
How did you guys learn to fly those terror-tubes. I can set down a turbo prop manually without anything, hell even without papi, but those jets seem beyond comprehension
How can one learn to keep control over these things? Using the saitek yoke & rudder btw.Post Edited ( 03-15-08 20:04 )

FS's Light Jets are notorious for poor handling, it's a lot easier to fly them in real life
Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - Valoran - 15-03-2008
Try the Veneviones (SP?) Citation II. It handles a lot more gently and it's really cheap for a biz jet in FSPax (around a mil each) Only weak
point is no VC. You can get it along with a gajillion liveries on AVSIM.
Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - DBE - 16-03-2008
As a matter of fact: which jets are you actually attempting to land apart from the Lear?

VC?
in my experience light-medium jets (such as Fokkers) are user-friendly
they're worth a shot. not sure if C6 covers them. they're MEJsRe: Asking for help: Flying Jets - Joeflyer - 16-03-2008

Just wondering...when did you fly one in real life?

If I remember, the f70 is a c6 but the f100 is too heavy. You can also try the POSKY crj's and erj's if you are looking for freeware. I'm not
the guy to ask about payware.
VC=Virtual Cockpit as opposed to the 2d panel that comes with most aircraft.
Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - Jambone - 16-03-2008
Joe...I watch air crash investigation and even the plane known for its poor handling doesn't decide to dive towards the ground of its own according on lift off
Plus I flew a 737 sim and its easier than FS, as the controls are much more robust, so I can only imagine that applies throughout the industry...although being a pilot im sure you could tell me different as you've flown the light jets before.

terror-tubes
Nice name..
think i'll rename our Embraer ERJ135 into 'Border-Line's Terror - Tube
But - in fakt.. it's true.. the Embrear is harder to handle than our Airbus A319
Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - dschoene - 16-03-2008
third attempt went pear-shaped as well. I'm absolutely too dense to handle it
cannot say whay, but the default lear (for me) is un-flyable btw. CRJ-200's are really nicknamed terror-tube (Angströhre) in German
Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - Valoran - 16-03-2008
Try the Citation II. It handles a lot better.

Vnukovo definitely has none but Bryansk and many more are just missing in FS9.

I am pretty sure their is a good reason why cocky little teenagers who play FS, don't fly real jets

Re: Asking for help: Flying Jets - Jambone - 17-03-2008
Did you not read my second comment? And please tell me when you come across an incident where the plane rams the nose back into the runway as soon as you move the joystick even a little, not in real life, only in FS.
PS. When I flew that 737 simulator, the captain in charge said I handled the plane better than some RL training pilots, ok that's one
point against me for being cocky but hey, im willing to shout my mouth off about that, but in general i'm not the "cocky little sh*t" kinda guy.

Dude, I know how you feel right now. I'm 30 with almost 5 years of teaching experince and I still get treated like a 5 year old by the old
ladies I work with. It's really frustrating to know you can do something and do it well and have other people knock you just because you're
younger than they are. Don't back down!!
