What am I doing wrong

I am trying to get passed the First Solo Flight Challenge and the Instructor keeps failing me because she says I wasn't supposed to land there. I have followed the exact procedures from the previous lesson, climb to 5400 turn left, climb to 5700 and turn left, throttle down and add flaps and turn left, idle throttle and turn left, land. It never works for me as she says I ma not supposed to land there. What gives?

Sounds like you are flying a circuit of a particular airfield. Is it because you are attempting a downwind landing?

Were you expressively cleared to land? Probably not. You get a landing clearance only if you turn base at the right spot. The obstructor is very strict.

Obstructor? :)

This is the SOLO Mission. There is no instructor saying anything other that I landed in the wrong place.

May need some more info other than "the wrong place". I would have to assume not the wrong airport or runway?? Maybe you landed too soon on the landing threshold?

 

Here is a video to compare with what you are doing:

I kept getting that. Never figured out what I was doing wrong.

That along with some yoke/pedal funkiness yesterday and I was ready to just quit. I kept losing the pedals completely and the yoke controls kept going haywire all at once. I was trying to use a new powered usb hub and had all 3 CH products plugged into the hub. Hoping that was the issue. Now that the update is finished I will go and find out. Here is hoping that they helped the trim issues, even if they didn't mention it.

Yea - controllers all working through a powered hub tend not to play well together.

It’s a question of power output. A typical device uses around 500mA, so if your hub’s power supply is say.. 3amp then in theory you could plug in 6 devices, assuming there is enough usb sockets on your hub. That is in theory. Usually 3 or 4 devices is all you can get away with.

One thing I’ve noticed as well, is that they tend to prefer USB 2 rather than USB 3. Certainly Saitek panels do at least.

Maybe but all I know is trying to work my thrustmaster set through a Mains powered hub in Elite Dangerous doesn’t work at all well. You get all kinds of freaky ghost inputs.

It is a 3amp model. I have ran into that 2.0 vs 3.0 before with racing wheels. Unfortunately, my motherboard doesn't have any 2.0 inputs. It has 5x Gen 1 and 2x Gen2 3.0 Ports on back with 2 more on front of the case. Splitting them up did the trick. No more sudden spinning or diving.
