I have a few problems with the 747 and wondered if anyone else can fly the damn thing
The first is the fact the default plane stalls on ILS with full flaps and using auto throttle keeping the plane at 150kts which I think is the
landing speed.
Second is take off, I take off the 747 with 3 clicks of flaps and almost everytime the plane rips the flaps off, I have tried taking off using
less than 90% full throttle, but the plane is too fast and as soon as you lift off, the plane is doing in excess of 250kts, even if you take off
with only 50% throttle which is way too unrealistic it still lfies too fast and you then stall it just off the ground, and you cannot get out of stall
in a 747 in fs2004, even at 40k feet, any suggestions, I have managed to take off once, using auto throttle to keep the speed down.
Plane is default 747 and meljet BA version.
Another question about fsp, is there a turorial about buying new planes?
I just got back off hols and first thing I did was buy FSP, it really is a great mod for fs2004 :P
Thanks
