Trouble landing with flaps lately? It's not you; it's Asobo's fault


Recommended Posts

"The most recent update to Flight Simulator has introduced a bug into the system that calculates the lift values of flaps. While stowed they aren’t an issue but, as detailed in a statement from Asobo Studios, in a landing configuration the flaps will generate double the lift that they should and do so without the added drag that such a configuration should offer."

Well that explains why my TBM is floating all the way down the runway since the update. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Tim. I decreased the lift_coef_flaps setting in flight_model.cfg by 2 according to post and everything's back to normal.

Divided by 2 is correct, in other words halve the lift_coef_flaps setting.

From the parallel thread at Avsim, appears Asobo/MS have declined to issue a hotfix for this issue instead it must wait for the next patch cycle sometime in early March...

 

Seems like a strange decision given that the bug fundamentally changes the entire aspect of the game. But not being a software engineer, I'll accept that it's probably more complex than I can appreciate.

Yup, I was wondering this myself.
