What is the best approach speed for 757 and landing speed?

[Cydon Prax]

If you land at 200knts in an A330.. 3 things may happen. But than, I am not a pilot of the A330; however I am familiar with the VREF speeds usually obtained by them and 200 is about 70% more than what you should be doing.

1.) Since your full flaps settings are'nt designed for that speed, they might rip off, you'll stall, than you'll touch the earth in an ackward position.. everyone will have a pretty interesting story to tell at CSI when they are deciding who's femar bone is who's.
2.) Your wheels will violently explode after you stop, due to tire temperature after the tremendous braking you just threw at it.
3.) You'll overrun the runway, stop after it inside a gas station, house, fence, ditch, ocean, or other aircraft. Either way, things end like they
do in scenario 1. You meeting CSI.

Definately use your VREF, and if you don't know it, stay atleast 10knots below your max flap 30 (or setting 4 depending on airbus or
boeing) damage speed.

It should work if you aren't landing with 95% fuel....

LOL.
Isn't it good that I am no real pilot! So I can do all this crazzy things and no one gets hurt.

It definitve does not work . Not in my sim. The only why it works is, if you can keep your sink rate high enough all the time. Else you will
have a hard time seeing the first half of the rwy. If you push down that you see it you end up that you have to pull to stay on teh glide again
and you lose the rwy view complet .But you may give it a try yourself. You can download the aircraft and try slef if you like.
Maybe I am doing something worng or installed something wrong. If so I am glad if you can tell me what is wrong.
Oh and byway as I say use the default zoom:1.0 and not 0.75. With 0.75 you see of course a lot more.

HB, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, now: did you know that you can raise/lower your seat using <SHIFT>-<RETURN> and
<SHIFT>-<BACKSPACE>?

No, didn't know. Never had to adjust the view in all my planes in all the years not even in the A380. There you see the full rwy.
But this is exactly what I miss now with the posky.

Wow, does this mean I don't have to come in like a missile in my next A330 landing?
That would be cool! (Although it is more fun with speed, i got used to it)

Is there a key to center the seat again or is this a 2 position toggle?
Well I will check it out and the key bindings. I hope this is useable.

Thanks a lot DBE!

(Funny, but this I really didn't know. But ok I never read a manual also. And if I do I forget whatever I don't use in the next 10 minutes.

BTW, your high angle of attack and thus, your inability to see what´s in front could be caused by a wrong Center of Gravity, that possibly makes your
nose up ( bad balance of weight in aircraft stations), is it higher than 30% when landing?

[HB-100]

I don't know. I have the latest .air and .cfg files. And the station entered there looked right to me.
The posky seems to have a default CG in front in the FS load screen (The FSP I can not read is messed on my resolution).
In horizontal flight it trims the elevator down to -1.0 and in approach up to 4.0. This is with full pax and cargo load.
