ROMAN78 1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hello...I've noticed that the flare on 1.01 isn't as smooth as before. Touchdown rate is between -300 & -400. Not bad just a bit stiff. I remember having softer rates. Could someone look into that? Thanks Roman78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi Roman, please install the latest Hotfix (16b), it contains a smoother pitch down moment which is more realistic and will therefore give you nicer touchsownrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 344 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I can confirm, that with the latest hotfixes, the T/D rate is between -140 and -190 on autoland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs jrotaetxe 242 Posted June 6, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 6, 2013 Do not know if it is related, but being smoother "pitch down" attitude at 20 ft call allowed me to make "silk touchdowns" in manual yesterday. In prior versions, at 20 ft the nose "collapsed", even if at 50 ft you began correcting the forecasted energic pitch down... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMAN78 1 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sorry but my average autoland has been between -250 and -488. Any suggestions. I haven't done anything different from previous versions. ROMAN78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROMAN78 Same problem here, after applied Hotfix (16b) my average still between -250 and -350 (using autoland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Same problem here, after applied Hotfix (16b) my average still between -250 and -350 (using autoland) It probably won't get much better with autoland. Lot's of addon planes don't do better than that, especially in the mid-price range. Planes that do better need a tremendous amount of coding and tweaking to get it right. Some addons 'grease' the autoland but it feels more like 'cheating' to me. Just compare the PMDG autolands (soft touchdown/authentic) to the iFly ones (soft, too, but feels slightly 'wrong', IMO). And compare the Wilco/FTh Airbus autolands (harder) to the AAX ones (softer). Some progress has been made, I reckon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustavo22471 0 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 In the "early" version of Airbus Xtended the flare and autoland used to be perfect. Now it's "heavier", unless you do it manually. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMAN78 1 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Completely agree Gustavo... Wished I had backed up te original installer to the AXE before the upgrade or had backed up the Hotfixes. I remember the flare being alot smoother and better. ROMAN78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, for real Pilots its the greatest to fly by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMAN78 1 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I was just stating what I've noticed...I fly manually as well but I can't hide the truth.It is great to fly, but the latest hotfix did change the performance.It was better before. The 1.01 update as far as autoland. Any take care....its just constructive criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROMAN78 1 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 I believe that's the file. I hope I'm being understood correctly. I love this plane! I respect/what the team has done in developing it into a superior simulation and by far the best Airbus A32X in FS. ROMAN78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Agreed. I was just wondering whether I missed those autolands in former versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
