Help for 747-8

Postby turkish_aviator » Mon Feb 08, 2021 1:40 am

This is a problem since i use th older versions of flightgear, when i descend aroun 300 feet agl, the aircraft hardly banks to the left and it doesn't respond my commands anymore. How can i fix that problem?

Fly faster.

What you describe (hard banking and loss of control) sounds exactly like YASim simulating a stall. The 747-8 lands fairly fast, typically between 145-160 kts, depending on weight and flap setting; you generally want to stay around 5-10 kts above Vref through your final approach, and then lose the remaining airspeed as you retard and flare.
