IanH77 3 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I'm finding the Twotter much harder to slow, hard to say if it was SU8 or the 1.0.4.0 update that introduced it since they came about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 3, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted March 3, 2022 The sim changed and our flight file changed to include these new things in the sim. It is indeed more slippery but that was, partly, the intention and should be more realistic. What is a bit lacking at this moment is the prop drag, that should be stronger but that is not achievable at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanH77 3 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Okay thanks Matthias, at least this sim continues to develop and each update it seems to be smoother so hopefully the prop drag will be better modelled before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, there is no sign that Microsoft is slowing down the development of this new platform. A far cry from the old days of FSX where we were lucky to get two service packs!

GreatScot369 21 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 The lack of prop drag is a real problem with short, steep landings like at St. Barths. A bit disappointing that the flight model was changed as these types of approaches were half the fun of flying the Twotter. Not so much any more.

Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 4, 2022 Developer Share Posted March 4, 2022 Once you have the flaps out you should not see that much of a difference in TQ than before and still adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transair27 90 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 it seems that IRL the pilots hold 70 knots all the way down to St Barts and land right on the stall warning. Not sure I can keep the a/c that slow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScot369 21 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I re-watched the video of Winair landing at St. Barths on YouTube and changed my technique a bit. The pilots flew 80 knots all the way down from 1500 feet. They started with flaps 20 and then went full flaps at around 800 feet. With the old flight model I was able to slow down enough with just flaps 20 all the way down. With full flaps I am able to land without floating too much. Maybe the old model was too aggressive with prop drag? I'm assuming the new model is closer to reality since the real pilots are using full flaps.

Transair27 90 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 yes maybe. I'll be interested to see how the new prop enhancements affect this sort of operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 7, 2022 Developer Share Posted March 7, 2022 Any approach is a mix of many parameters and you don't know whatbthe situation was in the video. We are working agians handbook performance data and they seem to be okay, a little on the too flats side with standard parameters on approach and final. The missing part is the de-acceleration when you pull to idle. Something you can experience on the C208 and KA350 the same way. So it is a sim problem, addressed and hopefully taken care of with the next sim update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 10, 2022 Developer Share Posted March 10, 2022 We are working on a workaround to increase the drag when ideling the engines to help with steep aproaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScot369 21 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The drag model seems much improved in version 1.0.5. I like that the drag changes with propeller pitch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
