mrzippy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have downloaded an aircraft which refuses to slow down / stop on landing. What changes can I make (to .cfg?) to get around this? Does it refuse to stop while you taxi or only when landing? If landing only, I would check to make sure the auto throttle is OFF, flaps down and auto spoilers armed. In the aircraft.cfg you can adjust the brakes: [brakes] parking_brake = 1 //Parking brake available toe_brakes_scale = 1.3500 //Brake scalar auto_brakes=4 I'm not positive if FSX recognizes any number over 1.00 or not. Do we get a hint at what aircraft is causing you fits? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 For reverse thrust change Min_throttle or Min_throttle_on_ground to -15 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Rupert Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I know it seems obvious but, did you push either F1 or F2 upon landing? Did the engine/s go back to idle? Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tiger, That 'min_throttle_xxx' tweak woudl be in (Engine) and (Propeller) sections of aircraft cfg and would be for turbo-prop or prop but not for jet engines. Obviously he lands with auto-throttle on. Even if the AP light is off, the auto-throttle is STILL engaged. Click on the 'Speed' light in AP panel BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE on approach. Even I forget sometimes, so it also happens to others. No biggee. Got 'CHECK LIST'? (hehe).

tiger1962 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Correct Napa, here's the jet equivalent from the default A321: [GeneralEngineData] engine_type = 1 //0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turboprop Engine.0 = 5.2, -18.6, -4.6 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum Engine.1 = 5.2, 18.6, -4.6 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum fuel_flow_scalar = 1 //Scalar for fuel flow efficiency min_throttle_limit = -0.25 //Minimum percent throttle. Generally negative for turbine reverser max_contrail_temperature = -30 //Temperature (deg C) below which contrails may appear Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

dempsey Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's the default A-321 (plus update). Having flown a bit more, it's not a case of 'when landing', although this is when it's more of a problem for obvious reasons. The problem is that the power will suddenly and randomly surge to full throttle and no amount of 'F2' will make any difference and the throttle levers do not respond.

dempsey Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 "A321_fix" from flyawaysimulation. Controller is calibrated. Just noticed that with autothrottle switched off, and speed set to zero anyway, just before touchdown the Flight Director and Autothrottle suddenly switch themselves on!

I don't have this "Fix" installed and have never had any problems like you describe. I would "unfix" it and try flying without it. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

mgh Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 "A321_fix" from flyawaysimulation states "Landing speed slightly increased according to real-world data." That doesn't seem to be problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Maybe it is. The a321 switches on the autothrottle if the speed gets to low (for the pitch). It basically detects the aircraft is about to stall. This happens on the default a321 as well if you approach to slowly. In this situation the aircraft goes to TOGA power (take off / go around). If this fix increases the required landing speed it will go to TOGA sooner. The Airbus a321 was the first aircraft that had this system. Now a few other aircraft have it as well, for example the newer Boeing models. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
