I just added a PAD Dehavilland Dash8 Q202 to my VA. I have had this particular plane on FS for some time. There wasn't a standard
payload model, so I downloaded one from here (by Tim Wright). Three things are aggravating me.
1. I get an occasional flaps penalty, even though I am using proper flap settings for TO and Land. Most of the time, no problem, and then
a penalty out of the blue.
2. COG is off to the rear when fueled and boarded. This is going to get worse as my passenger and cargo load increase, as additional
passengers and cargo will all be going to rear seats and rear cargo area.
3. The Q202 has a ground-handling/pushback gauge, which normally works very well. In fact, I have added it to most of my other heavies
that don't come with one. However, when I use it with FS Passengers, it sometimes causes the plane to "jump" and my GPWS gives
a "too low-flaps" warning.
