Title: Your first good landing
Post by: cyon20 on July 16, 2008, 10:45:40 pm

How many times did it take you before landing your first good landing?

It took me about 10 tries.

I've lost count, too many years ago.  :lol:

It took a while anyway. Real life, I could get it on the ground, it was just softening the touchdown that is the skill.

Depends on what you are talking about.  My first teeny Cessna landing I think I got on the 2nd try.  The jet landing took MUCH longer. :P

I meant like a jet (Airbus, Boeing)

How do you define good...

Landing on the dashed lines (about where the AI aircrafts land), not coming down too hard, not crashing(with the crash setting on)

FS98, a 734 into Kai Tak on the curved approach. Took me like 30 tries.

Well I thought I'd got it sorted until I bought FlyTampa's Kai Tak and tried the Rwy 13 Approach in a crosswind :S

'A landing you can walk away from is a good one'

I can walk away After my prop crashed.......



Anyway, my first good landing is in the DHC-2. (In the second trial)
First good land-based aircraft landing : Aircreation trike buggy / Beech Baron 58 ( Im not sure , but it took me 2 days)
First good jet landing: None of my attempts suceeded.... (Except CRJ-100, Challenger 604 and BAe 146-200QT)

Personally, I'd consider anything under -150fpm a 'good landing'

FS3 did not have any Airbus/Boeing. But after I was able to fly/land the Lear it was pretty easy to fly the B737 when I bought FS98. Don't remember how many attempts it took. Just one thing you should know: I did not own a joystick until FS2000. You may try to land your aircraft only using the keyboard - and don't use the AP  :wink:

Its a shame MS got rid of the autoland feature in FS2000 onwards... :lol:
My first good landing was second try on the tutorial in a Cessna and about the 10th for the 737 in the kiosk landing (the one where you land at ORD in the winter) in FS2004

Why? You shouldn't need to use autoland unless your in CATIII conditions (eg bugger all visibility).

Autoland always gives you fairly hard landings too (well compared to my landings not using autoland). Keep practicing and fly 'properly' using air waves, proper flight plans etc etc

In FS9 i went direct to the flying school part of the game, and i slightly messed up first landing by accidently veering off the runway in my Cessna. 2nd try was perfect. 3rd try was a 737-400. I dont play that game anymore. No explosions :wink:
