Anyone else who's flown the posky 752, doesnt it seem to you like the flaps create WAY too much drag, WAY too much lift and WAY too much speed loss? A quick example-I'm on final at Seattle, I have flaps at 25, my firckin speed down to 115 in a desperate attempt to get the nose up, and I'm 2 degrees noes DOWN. Unbeleievable. On descent, flaps are unusable becasue after extending just one degree the A/T kills itself, going to full power just to maintain a speed, so I have to trick it by constantly taking maual control of the throttles and even then when it levels out a severe power increase is unavoidable. Then, we're still at 1 flaps here, the plane is nosing down to maintian an altitude becasue they create too much lift. Arrrgh. >:( So, two things. Has anyone else noticed this and would you recommend copying whatever part of the 777s file that pertains to flap lift+drag into the 757 file (if anyone knows where this is in the .cfg or .air files that'd be great. I could find it myself but this would cut down the time). I would post this on the posky forum but theyd just yell at me to dl the latest FDEs there. :P
