Hi, guys

I am an airbus lover and i love to fly airbus aircrafts. Recently, i have downloaded A340-500 in SIA texture. However, i feel this model is quite strange. When i slow down to 250knots, even with full flap, the angel of attack still 5 degree. i dont know why.

The AP is on and everything is fine. If like this, how can i land it with 250 knots speed. That is too danger, right.

Maybe the aircraft's simulation is wrong somewhere. Please give me suggestions where i can get a good A345.

Thanks for your reply.

Andy

250 kts is way too fast to be thinking of putting any flaps out at all. Flap drag will help you slow, but this shouldn't begin to happen until around 200-210 kts. Approach speed on full flaps will be around 140-160 kts depending on load.

Do you mean that you are having trouble slowing to 250 kts?
