KSFO-CYMX (Montreal), broke the 747.
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 9:20 pm[size=12]Did a KSFO-Montreal with FSPassengers, but it didn't turn out too pretty.
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.
