- How do we approach an airport runway nicely and straightly??


I take it u're trying to do it in FS2004

Start by lining up with the ILS , then just follow the indicators . Make small adjustments only . Just a couple taps of the keyboard shud be enough . Dont flare too early smile.gif

Alternatively , u can utilize the auto -land feature . Just turn on the auto approach . Do this when or before u're about 8 nm out . if u do it too late , the plane will starting swaying to the left and right

Hope that helps

dude,how much is this cool stuff sellin arr?...it looks kinda interesting


Got mine for RM419.90 @ Midvalley smile.gif I dunno about the 0.90 , but the salesperson said that it was the supplier price blink.gif

QUOTE
wait a minute... I didnt know the x52 has a twist stick rudder. Dammit I always thought it was a bit too "bling-bling" (with all those lights).
Yeah the only problem I have with the x45 is the rudder. Not impossible to use but a bit weird if youre used to the twist rudder.


Haha ... yea , the x52 has a twist stick rudder . Difference from the x45 is that it has a rudder lock smile.gif . It's some button that u engage for people who cant stand twisty sticks laugh.gif

Corad : Do you still use the twist rudder? If so how does it feels (accurate?, sluggish?, don't bother using em?).
Its been a toss up for me about this between X45 and X5


Hmmm ....... it's pretty accurate , but cannot beat the real thing drool.gif

  Dont know if this is normal or my problem, when i am flying an aircraft using joystick, if i do not hold the joystick to back, the nose will head down on his own.


Check if your joystick is calibrated propely 1st smile.gif


The aircraft nose would also pitch down if u dont hv enough airspeed , u can overcome this by either adding more power tongue.gif or deploying the flaps

what traffic do you guys use ?

I'm torn in between Adobe and SKAI ...

I know the "grey area" these freeware packages are in .. but they really do make it so easy rather than download and customize all the AI flightplans sad.gif
