Something strange

(1/2) > >>

EHM-2288 Glenn:
Hi!

I don't know if it's a bug or what did happend. I was flying Embraer 120 yesterday, and something happend. (I used both FSpax and ProPilot)

Normal takeoff, normal flight, and a great landing.

And then I got -400 points in ProPilot because I have exceeded G:{
I did not use autopilot, and I was with the screen all the time. FSpax also gave me perfect score, with perfect landing.

What happend?

EHM-0654 Murray:
Hey Glenn. Log into PP on the website and have a look at the flight in "My Flights", it's possible that the ACARS there will show precisely where the penalty was assigned.

Failing that, get someone in the MT Operations Team (Sotiris is probably your best bet) to have a look at the raw ACARS and see if it's any more obvious in there.

EHM-2288 Glenn:
It's not that important, i just found it strange. I have been looking at the ACARS, and my cruising was unstable, but not G-force unstable:P

This is the message i got:

Maximum load factor (G) allowed
Your airplane suffered a maximum G force of 2.5. Your passengers got very scared!

EHM-0654 Murray:
Real-world weather of some description? Wind shifts and/or big up/down drafts can cause big G loads. Notch it up to "one of those things"... :{

EHM-1570 Bruce:
Hi Glenn, it is possible to get this penalty if the nose gear hits the runway fairly hard, I found that to avoid the penalty you have to hold the nose up and allow the main gear to touchdown first, then lower the nose gear. I am not trying to teach you how to suck eggs, but it would look as if your flare was not quite right. You are more likely to incur this penalty   in the smaller aircraft. Only a thought but I hope it helps.
