Can this be disabled.
I know it probably realistic, but in flight simulator, it is hard to judge your descent rate as you don't have peripheral vision or feeling of movement.
I landed a Beech 1900D at 388 ft/m and blew the tyres. Every landing in a 737 has blown the tyres hitting the runway at 500 ft/m.
This seems a bit harsh. I know that some 737 have to hit down fast to activate the airbrakes and reverse thrust on short fields - we've never blown
tyres doing this.
Anyway, it's a feature I don't like - it needs to be more forgiving to accept the limitations of the simulator.
Surely a Beech 1900D can handle a landing speed of 388 ft/m without blowing the tyres?
