Sorry, there goes another

(1/6) > >>

EHM-1617 Iain:
I would like to publically apologise for my FS randomly crashing an airplane on touchdown at EHAM. ;) Here is a copy of the crash report.

And I am actually telling the truth, those of you who don't believe me ;)

This was a crash on touchdown. Flight was good, otherwise no penalties. On final 18R at EHAM. Approach speed was calculated at 150KIAS with 1 notch below full flaps. Speed at touchdown was about 145KIAS, nose up pitch angle 5 degrees, landed softly, the FS randomly says crash and this happens. Was definately not my fault, speed was normal, gear was down, flaps were normal, and pitch was normal. Maybe this was because of the model (it was my first flight with the 767) or maybe it was because of the addon scenery I have for this runway as it is not default (but I don't think so because of I have landed the 737 on this runway many times). Dunno what happened, just a random crash on touchdown. Sorry, there goes another. ;)

It wasn't my fault :$

EHM-0654 Murray:
Iain,

By any chance, were you landing on the Polderbaan (the "new" one that's NW of the terminal...) 'cause on my install, that rwy hasn't been correctly smoothed, nor the taxiways that lead out to it.

I stick by the advice Gergely gave in the original online flying manual - turn off crash detection when flying online.

EHM-1617 Iain:
Yeah I was landing the new RWY but never had probs before. I do have crash detect off but apparently the FL can detect crashes anyway even if its turned off. It was turned off at the time.

EHM-1150 Armando:
:D

My dear friends, even if crash detection is deactivated by default, when using PP crash detection is activated automaticaly; sorry but that's the only way we can get much of the reality we try to achieve.

The good thing is that we can see people worried about crashing an aircraft and trying to be better the next time... don't give up, instead give it a try for a better next time.

If you crash an aircraft and you know it wasn't you fault then don't worry... hey this is just a game :D

Safe landings
Armando Chibante

EHM-0654 Murray:
;D

You little tinker Armando! Turning on crash detection without telling me... I shall be *very* careful when taxiing now, and I'm sorry EHAM, but I won't be visiting you until I can get a fixed Polderbaan and taxiways leading out to it...
