Hi folks,
I am still on the lookout for a good .air file for the 737NG (any) to use with PM.
I have tried the defaults, PMDG, Kittyhawk and even Project Opensky and just cannot find a 'nice to fly' FDE. :(
I love my 'pit and it is really coming together but I am missing the 'pleasure' of the hand flying that I used to get from the Level D 767, PMDG 747, DF 727 and the Flight 1 Super 80.
Perhaps the 737s in real life just ain't too nice to hand fly! :roll::D
My main issue is poor pitch control, especially on Approach. Slow reaction to pitch changes can lead to some real nasty 'porpoising' on approach (too high, correction, too low, correction.....etc).
I know some will just blame my piloting skills :grin: ...... but truly, it's not about that.
The Level D 767 feels really 'heavy' but it is also very very responsive and a delight to take down to the tarmac, on approach.
Other add-ons that are as sweet as a nut to hand fly are the Majestic Dash 8, the Flight 1 ATR, and of course, BSWs favourite - the Dreamfleet 727.
With the FDEs that I have tried for the 737, in my PM set-up I just can't get that 'real' feeling on take-off or approach.
Does anyone out there have the magic .air file ?
(Please don't reply and say PMDG 737 !!...) :D
