Today I have tried a different approach in the real C172 (D-EZTE): Very slow at top of descent (63 KIAS ) at 2500 ft AGL / -600 ft/min > Full flaps. In this condition the real one exactly behaves like the A2A baby...Oracle427 wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 17:40 I saw in the first post that the airfield in EDMJ. Found some videos on youtube of landings at the field. I see there are no obstructions or terrain in the approach and the technique seems to be to come in low and flat and touch down as close as possible to the threshold. In this case, I can see that the landing performance is well within the limits of the POH provided that the pilot is on their game. It definitely is not going to be the easiest field to land at!
Unfortunately, my FSX places a zillion trees about 10 feet from the threshold, so I end up having to ignore and fly through them to make the landing.
Still, the next time I fly the 172, I'll take notes about performance with flaps fully extended, straight and level flight at constant airspeed and power and see how many RPMs I am turning at 65KIAS. I am going to guess very close to 2400 RPM.
Now I see how difficult it must be to design a virtual aircraft and how impossible it is to match in every possible case. But as a demanding customer I didn't find a better virtual aircraft. Thank you all for your ideas
And all the best from the Alps.
