I agree the plane does a crazy side slip whenever you go flaps 40. Feels totally unnatural and like a bug. I hope they fix it soon it’s the reason why I’ve barely flown this since I purchased it.
@@unclealig: According to the manual, approach speed should be 110-120 kts for flaps 15; 95-105kts for flaps 30; 80-90kts for flaps 40. Landing speed (after threshold and before the touchdown) should be 10 kts below the approach speed. Rudder trim should be set one line left of the green zone to manage that slip properly (without crosswind). In crosswind conditions rudder trim needs a bit more adjustments on a short final.
My dads the one who flew FTX for the first time when it got this livery. You need to do Broome to Kununurra. Do hope this module gets updated and made more than decent, would be even better if they updated it to a NG model like this and most RFDS pc12's were by 2014.
Awesome video thank you! How do you get the latest update? I haven’t received an email from SWS or anything so unsure what version I’m on & whether it’s the latest? Thanks.
The sideslip thing is so annoying. I bought this thing on day 1 but it's been in the hangar gathering dust because that weird behavior just makes it un-fun to fly. It really sucks because the rest of the plane is great. The devs are aware and investigating though, so hopefully the next update fixes it.
Interesting testing at the end. I did a number of ILS approaches with AP on and focused on nailing the green AoA/speed indicator thingy on the left side of the PFD, allowing the auto-trim system to do its thing. Completely stable approaches, flares and touchdowns with no "squirelly" behaviour on touchdown. As far as I can tell I did not get any yawing movement when going to F40. AP/YD off at around 500ft AGL. On touchdown I first go low/ground idle, then beta/reverse. I think the key factor is to control the approach speed and fly the AOA indicator on short final. On takeoff I saw a YT with what I belive is one of the testers(real PC12 pilot) that did mention the "trick" to pull back a bit on stick while accelerating in order to not get the MSFS weirdness at around 70-80 kts.
it is one of the hardest approaches in the world for a reason. esp in a pc12. the fastest thing to fly in there. if it matters, our old SOP for flying into SBH in the pc12 was to hold the pusher interrupt on approach. but someone scared themselves and we dont do that anymore haha

Agreed! It is uncontrollable on landing. Sucks because otherwise it’s a great plane
its because most ppl come in way to fast,
@@hostettervideos: whats the landing-speed and touch-down speed for flaps 15, 30, 40 ?

Isn't it supposed to be summer in NZ? Gosh, NZ is so screwed up in this sim.
No plane does that 😂
What I miss? Banned from VATSIM?? Why?
How come the Royal Flying Doctor Service is operating in New Zealand?
landing this plane in ST BArth is impossible

God, I guess this plane has the worst model physics I have ever seen
Yes - this plane is fantastic but stering is awful
