I got the same feeling and think it is a convergence of all factors written above.
- Personal stress factor mentioned by Brad,
- We have now an acurate quotation of our landings, may be before, we could imagine our landings better than they actually where (The force feedback
computer seat is still to be done)
- We have a different tool to load our aircraft then get other CG and total weight than usual. wich means different pitch for a given speed and
different Vat than usual.
My first try was with the default KSFO-KLAX flight with a 727 wich was quoted as "exceptional" until the crash-landing at more than 600 feets/min.
quite upset by this result (could only be a bug off course...), I made the same flight with the same plane and same load. Just keeping an approach 15
kts faster. The landing at +-195 fts/min was then way better.
So, on my mind, just up to us to take care of our weight, CG, speed and keep relax on the yoke....
As there is a payload model for the VC 10, My next try will be with David Maltby's VC 10 which have this nice feature: A speed calculator, you
click on the calculator and get the limit speeds for your current load. I will see if there is a difference between a standard flight and loading and
a flight with FSP.
I am fully satisfied so far, having a strict and acurate evaluation of my flight is indeed my goal with FSP, the crew activity, sounds,
co-pilotanoucment and voice chatter enhance greatly the "immersion" in flight atmosphere.
Just a littl wonder; I did not find how to resume a saved/reloaded flight without loosing the FSP session... Is save/ reload supported by FSP ?
Best Landings and long life for our passengers
