I have been testing the demo for a while and really would like to purchase this nice piece of software. However, I still have not managed to complete
a single successful flight with FSP.
First of all, allow me to admit that I am a casual FSX player, no flight sim expert. I know my way around and how not to get stuck in the ground at a
90° angle, but would not dare to try this game at maximum realism settings.
Anyhow, out of ten attempted flights, nine ended with my plane breaking up in mid-air during the landing approach. Flaps were centered and still my co
pilot warned me that they were extended. (Or do I have to extend the flaps for the landing approach? I suppose my lack of actual aviation knowledge is
getting the best of me here - and my next business trip to London still several weeks away, for checking the actual practice). The last one ended with
me emergency-landing the plane after a bird strike. Pretty interesting, actually.
Still, the midair-breakup problem somewhat bothers me... does anyone have an Idea what exactly I am doing wrong?
