Last night I was doing a group flight from Schiphol-Amsterdam to Dublin in an A320. The active runway was Schphol's newest edition to their 10 million
runways - 36L. I downloaded ProjectX's, who are known to have nice freeware addon scenery especially for EHAM, AFCAD file. This added new taxiway
textures and the new runway 36L and the taxiways leading up to it. Unfortunetly when it came time to roll, the PAX's were horrified at my takeoff and
their fear rose rapidly up to 70% on the takeoff. I was confused by this because if I say so myself, it was a brilliant takeoff
. After takeoff I
looked at the flight report and the PAX's opinion is that they're never going to fly my company again and were horrified. If I had a flight report to
show you I would but at that stage I quit the fspassengers flight and continued on without it.
Why did this happen? I thought it might have something to do with the fact that maybe the new runway was only a texture and that it mistook me for
taking off on the grass, but from looking at the AFCAD using AFCAD2, I can see that this was not the case. What could've caused this does anyone know?
Cheers,
James
