[Solved]Cannot land CLS DC-10

[pvjinflight]

I have problems with fspassengers and this aircraft, i dont have any problems with landing any other aircraft, but
with this one i almost always blow
up tire. If i flare much it stailstrikes very easily, and if i dont, descent rate is too high.

But i also blow up landing with normal descent rate:

Landing Speed: 113.92 kt
Landing Touchdown: -388.46 ft/m
Landing Pitch: 6.68°
Landing Weight: 369225 lbs


Any ideas?

113 kt is too slow!!! You need to be at 140ish

Yes, i was too slow, i turn throttle to zero i was too high, then when i flared speed dropped too much, I kept many months without playing fsx and
this aircraft is new to me... It takes time to learn it i guess, but weird how different this plane is to land than other addons that i have, takes
much throttle to keep speed at landing, much harder to land.


So if 140 is good touchdown speed, then maybe problem was too slow approach, which should be higher speed...

Just an example here:

I fly the POSKY 772. My usual approach speed is 160 KIAS, and my final ILS approach speed is 155. My usual touchdown speed is between 145 and 1t0
KIAS with a descent rate of -350 fpm +/- 50 fpm. That is after a long haul, EGLL-KSFO..

Now i kept higher speed on approach, and made good landing. Thanks for help!

I found also another reason why it was so hard, my realism settings were on unrealistic after i reinstalled my sim, and i forgot to turn them to
maximum which i normally use, it did controlling very weird.
