Landing light penalties

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1651 Christian:
I use the pss a333 and the landing lights doesn't turn on before you lower the landing gear wich means I will have an penalty every rime I use this aircraft.

Anyone know how to solve this issue?

EHM-1703 Philip:
Well I have the PSS A330 too and I haven't found a cure. I have now reverted to using the Opensky freeware fleet model. It's a shame that I have had to retire my PSS fleet as I quite liked them once I'd figured them out!

In real life they don't turn on the landing lights before they lower the gears.
Hope it's possible to find a solution too the problem. maybe link the landinglight penalty too the loweing of the landing gear.
I'm not into programming so I don't know how much work this is so I better shut up about this;D

Anyhow I can't get the ehm version working just get an error on the a330.gau file and my fs freezes.

I'll just have to take the penalties if want to fly the A333

Hey

I thing its strange you have to turn on you landing light at FL100.

It would be better if the program gave you penalty if it was not light on final, or when the landing gear was down, like you say.

I also like a list with the penalty'es that the logger use, so you know what the rules are, before you get behind the stick and fly.
What do the logger expect!

EHM-1703 Philip:
Well from the PSS support forum this was the answer on the landing light issue:

It is unrealistic for landing lights to be ON on takeoff up to FL100. They are usually turned off in the after takeoff checks. On landing they go on usually below FL120 on some airlines or FL100 on others. I think you need to get your VA software adjusted. The landing lights are hard-coded into the panel so there is no adjustment that can be made.

In reference to the AutoPilot Problem that some of us experienced climbing above 4500fpm:

This comes down to pilot error I'm afraid: if you are holding V2+10 accurately on takeoff you should not experence the sharp pitch up which is caused by the computers trying to get the speed back to V2+10 after you have shot through it. Try staying on V2+10 - perhaps set your pitch trim to -2.0UP which helps with this - or remain on manual flying until after the acceleration altitude which should also help.
