![]() ![]() Move the controls, wait for the aircraft to respond, then gently bring it back again. ![]() When you disconnect, aim to maintain this datum with only minor corrections to keep the aircraft on path: keep your control inputs smooth and as small as possible to achieve the desired effect. There's normally a rule of thumb for each particular configuration and approximate landing weight. Look at how the autopilot is flying the approach: pitch and power (N1/EPR) setting. Learn the 'datums' for your aircraft and fly them accurately. In addition to this, the viewing angle looking down at the runway makes it very hard to judge the flare - ideally at that point you'd want to be looking along the runway at the far end in order to judge the sink rate. Don't be tempted to 'raise your seat' (Shift-Enter) excessively to get a better view of the runway - again, this will tend to make you feel low and so you will end up arriving high (exacerbated if your view is also zoomed out). the runway appears 20% smaller at a zoom setting of 0.80).ī ) Making the runway seem further away than it is - which makes you feel lower than you really areĬ ) The aircraft appears to be travelling fasterĪlso, check your eye position in the sim - make sure it's the same each time. If you have your zoom set to less than 1.00, you'reĪ ) Giving yourself a proportionally smaller target to aim at (i.e. If it's anything other than 1.00, try setting it to that (even if you then move the eyepoint back to get a better view of the instruments with Ctrl-Enter etc). Just like in the real world, I think seat position has a lot to do with it. ![]()
