[size=12]Did a KSFO-Montreal with FSPassengers, but it didn't turn out too pretty.

Ahh the lovely FsPx, My fav. add-on of all times.

You rotated at 200 knots because of the following:

In FSX without FsPx the aircraft weight is set to the amount of fuel you have onboard and not passangers (Pax) and/or cargo. Making it substancially lighter.

The FsPx load manager adds more weight to the aircraft. PAX and/or Cargo.

It is important to make sure the trim is set correctly, I don't fly heavies so I don't know the appropriate pitch for them.

I know 4-5 degree up on a medium turbo prop is appropriate as 10+ may cause a tail strike. So, set your trim correctly be fore take-off.

As for the burst tire. It will burst everytime when you have a touchdown with more then 500 feet p/m decent rate.

It is of utmost importance to have the right decent, speed @ approach.

Like I said I don't fly big birds, but with a SEP like a cessna, a decent rate of below 100 feet p/m with a 4 degree pitch upon flare gives you a smooth landing.

Guess it will be more on a heavy like the 747's.

Anyway, lovely shots, I love fsPx since it adds to the realism of flying in FS.

Thanks!

Flying-Mouse:  I forgot to look at the FSPx screen to see what my final descent rate is, but I also didn't know what the stall speed for the 747 would be without flaps  ;D
