After touch down I can't stop the plane in time. The brakes seem very inefficient. I land at about 80 kt.
At what speed should a correct touch down be at ?

Problem engaging the autopilot
When I click the master autopilot button or use an assigned joystick button for this purpose I experience this. The switch momentarly displays engaged but springs back to disengaged. This happens almost everytime. What could be wrong here ?

Confusion regarding the manual
In the manual they use MPH as a unit for speed. But in the T6 I see the speed meter showing knots. Is it a typo in the manual or should I convert all given speeds in the manual from MPH to knots and use these converted values ?

Re: Is this correct behavior of the attitude ball
Each controller will act differently so there really is no standard. The best thing to do is to simply make sure your controllers are calibrated correctly and check for axis conflicts (duplicate assignments). Believe it or not the final contributor to a stable controller is YOU and the way you use ...

Re: Is this correct behavior of the attitude ball
Believe it or not that little black ball in the tube is the most accurate instrument on the panel. Simply put, ANYTIME the tail of the airplane isn't perfectly aligned with the nose in maneuvering flight that ball will be out of the doghouse. This will happen regardless of your airspeed or how fast...

Re: Is this correct behavior of the attitude ball
From what you are saying it seems like you are entering some of your turns using too much rudder, some with not enough rudder, and some with the right amount of rudder. Dudley Henriques I don't think that could always be the case. I have for example entering a standard 2 minutes turn without touchi...

Re: Is this correct behavior of the attitude ball
I have noticed that when making turns the ball initially moves so I need rudder to correct that. But then it moves back again. It can even move to the right when I am in a left turn. Sometimes it seem that the ball does not move at all during turns. How should it be ? I use P3D 5.3 From what you ar...

Re: A2A is MIA
I am very disappointed that MSFS 2020 has been out for more than a year and A2A is still MIA with a product for the sim. Heater, myself and everyone at A2A agree with your sentiment which is why it's been so difficult on both us and our community for us having to remain so quiet. The time will come...

Re: A2A is MIA
About a new platform, I can only speak for myself, but it would need to be really amazing to get me to switch now. Just so not to be misunderstood, when I speak of our own platform I'm speaking of something on a very small scale that we would be doing largely just to satisfying ourselves. We alread...

Autopilot does not seem to work
I have problem using the autopilot. I turn on every switch but the plane does not hold heading and altitude. The PDI is always centered no matter what I do. Turning the AP button for turn has no effect. The only thing that seem to have changed by turning on the AP is that I can't control the plane w...

This makes no sense to me
When I made a flight with the B17G in P3D 5.2 HF1 I experienced this. Fuel tank 1 and 4 run out of fuel during the flight. The crew informed me that engine 1 and 4 quit. The rpm decreased somewhat. And I could see that the propellers was still turning like before. When I feathered propeller 1 and 4 ...
