Aviator_Kevin_HD Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Dear Community, I have the Feelthere Embraer for a year now, and I have to say it is one of my favourite planes. I'm using it in Prepar3D V4.5 (latest version) and the Embraer is fully updated. I didn't fly the plane for a few months and can remember that the plane had problems to slow down to the final approach speed and keep a speed on the ILS without going too fast. For example, I'm descending normally, before I get to the ILS I reduce to 170-180 kts, if needed I reduce to 160 knots and later to my final approach speed. But as soon I'm on the ILS there is no chance to get slower. As I know the plane has problems to slow down. I retract my flaps as needed and prepare for my approach, on the ILS I reduce to my final approach speed even earlier than I should, I have Flaps Full Gear Down and prepare for my landing. But then it happens, the plane follows the 3 degree glideslope normally, but it is building up speed and even more, I already tried to extending the speedbrakes but that doesn't help, the descend rate is between -750/800 fpm. I also tried turning off autothrottle and idle the thrust myself, it didn't help either, the thrust was on idle and the plane was overspeeding until touchdown. Especially when I fly on Vatsim I have problems, when the ATC clears me for a speed of 200 there is no chance to get slower. I already tried reinstalling the plane, I turned off my AntiVirus and even ran the installer as an Administrator. My Joystick is also calibrated correctly, since the first time I flew it I have this issue, when I get on the ILS it speeds over and there is no chance to avoid it.

raam123 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Agree, Unfortunatlly as mush as I like this bird and appreciate the hard work it is unflyable in P3Dv5.2. Disappoonted and waitting for some real fix (Dynamics and external textures...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_ramiro Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I also had this same issue when arriving at KMCO with the E190, thought it was the gusty wind...seems like extending Flaps to Full reduce the drag. Indeed that day I was using Flaps 5, and couldn’t understand why the plane was gaining speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justplanemad Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’ve Just started flying this product , and was surprised how hard it is to slow down / maintain speed on approach. The real aircraft is pretty slick, but not as bad as this. @Aviator_Kevin_HD it’s normal that speedbrake won’t work with flap 2 / less 180kts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
