Landing Help Please?

[loup]

Mine was squirrelly but I played with the sensitivities on my rudder pedals and it's manageable now but still tough.

Lou, definitely do the Landing assist. That's what works for me. I tried it, and now works flawlessly. I'll have to use it for now until they straighten everything out.

He recommended landing assistance be turned OFF, actually.

I would agree. You want to be in control, not some AI helper.

To practice landings, I'd set weather conditions to either calm, or gentle wind (4-8 kts) straight down the runway heading. The ground handling in the sim is a bit off. The plane reacts to crosswinds pretty believably in the air, but once on the ground, the tendency to weathervane is both too pronounced and oddly vague.

Also practice holding the aircraft off just above the runway as long as possible when landing. You want to be out of lift when you land, so you stay planted and winds affect you less, and your rollout will be more controllable because of your lower speed.

And adjust rudder control senstitivity to suit your hardware. Again, on the ground, rudder inputs are too dramatic at default settings.
