The right flare really depends on getting the right angle and the right timing. Flare too early or too late and you can forget about that landing.

@@A330Driverhonestly this plane is so easy to flare and much easier to flare than 737

yes it's interesting - we teach new pilots to do that which we do not do ourselves.

Thank you very much!

Hi Michel, first of all: Thank you so much for your support! It's hard to explain why flight simulation is still a hobby of mine. It used to be back in school and until I finished my flight training, after that it changed a little bit into a rather dedicated focus on testing (which still included flying lots of sectors though). I guess it's hard to drop a hobby. Well, though I would never have done those four sector real life days in the sim. lol. By now the hobby has shifted again, from the pure flying and testing aspect to the filming aspect. I think it's half flight simming, half running the channel these days. Both are fun! I wouldn't say that pilots look down on flight simmers, not at all indeed. But of course pilots often see the hobby in a different way than simmers do. I'd say for many pilots, flightsimmers are people with a dedicated hobby and many pilots are impressed how much time and effort simmers dedicate into learning what we do as a job. Of course, sometimes sometimes I catch myself with a smile on my mouth if someone says he could land an airliner in the real world as well. We know they probably couldn't. But hearing that they are so enthusiastic about our profession is still inspiring. Why would we look down on simmers though? We know it's a game and they are probably very good at it. The game is not the real world though. Sometimes some simmers forget a little about that, but hey, it just shows their enthusiasm and that's great, isn't it?

@@A330DriverI don’t have delusions of grandeur about hand flying an airliner to the ground but I do have illusions about setting it up for a nice auto-land. At least let me have that much. 😉

@@Danimalpm1 Getting it down to an autoland should certainly be within the realms of what's possible!

Yes! Loooks gorgeus!

Coming soon!

As the 777 is so long, you need to offset your cockpit into the wind on final approach. So with a crosswind from the right, your cockpit should be place slightly to the right of the centerline. In the flare, when you use the rudder to align the plane with the centerline, you will then "push" your cockpit back to the centerline.

It disengages automatically :)

It'll disengage automatically, latest when the reversers are activated.

@A330Driver awesome, thank you cap !

Always correct the glideslope with the elevator, never with thrust! Controlling altitude with thrust is a technique some clubs teach, but nothing you'd do in professional aviation.

Tnx 👍 that's what I wanted to know, tried both ways in the sim and pitch4altitude is more intuitive than thrust4altitude on the approach.

That's flying club stuff, you never do that in an airliner or in professional aviation. You simply can't fly precisely enough that way.

@@A330Driverthanks for the reply. Love your stuff, keep it up!

It works the same as in any other plane for me.

Hi, please contact customer support on support.pmdg.com.

Yes, it will.

Lol I was getting thus issue as well. I just idle my bravo throttle and that eliminated this problem.

The what?

by tamper, i mean it translates the cockpit camera gradually and diagonally to top right, and in the case of external cam it rotates around the plane like a maniac

if you would like the forum link please let me know

Hi Ruven, I'm afraid I'm really not too much of an expert on this topic. I'd recommend to contact their customer support to get assistance with this issue.

Idle thrust is lowest amount of thrust an engine can create, idle reverse thrust is the same percent thrust, but the reverser is unlocked and a portion of the total thrust is propelled forward.

@@hypoxia_lover Thank you.

On top of what @hypoxia_lover has already said, the advantage of idle reverse is that the reverser is immediately available if you need it. I don't have numbers from the 777 here, but in the 737 the engines would run down from approach idle to ground idle two seconds after touchdown if reverse was not selected. From ground idle to maximum reverse would take up to 17 seconds. If you kept it in reverse idle, it would only take 8 seconds. That's a HUGE difference, if the end of the runway is approaching quickly!
