[Twin Otter landing attitude problems]

In the meantime, can you send me the proper airfile(s)?

It's the .air file that's the problem, not the aircraft.cfg

[Twin Otter landing attitude problems]

Igor et al;

Could someone explain to me why the Twotter airfile (scds_dhc6.air) is a renamed byte-for-byte copy of the MS default King Air airfile?

Here's some of what I found in the Otter airfile:

1 Aircraft Name=The Beechcraft King Air 350

2 Description=The elegant King Air is a high-performance, pressurized-cabin, twin-engine turboprop airplane. Most often employed as a corporate transport, it usually seats from 9 to 11 (although it's certificated for up to 17 people). Many a young pilot has stepped up from more lowly positions to corporate flying in the right seat of a King Air. Piloting the beautiful Beech is a logical transition into the more complex world of turbine engines and larger aircraft. See the Aircraft Information section of Help for tips on flying this aircraft.

...

4 Registration=N0926Z

etcetera etcetera...

I think that might explain why the model doesn't perform like an Otter... :x

Hi;

Nice job with the Twotter panel, guys!

I do have one problem with the flight dynamics at the moment...when flying 20 or 40 deg flap approaches, the aircraft attitude at approach/landing speed is far too nose-low. If I atttempt to flare at 70 KIAS and flaps 40, the acft balloons badly...if I hold it just above the runway and let the speed bleed off to stall, it touches down in three-point landing on all three gear. The acft should be significantly more nose-up at approach and landing speed.

Right now, it is next to impossible to do a normal flare and touch down on the main gear alone.

Cheers

Bob
