Meljet 777 problems.. (Read 314 times)

I have the Meljet 777-200 Peter Max livery version for FS2002. However the flight dynamics are horrible! At low speeds on final, the airspeed drops to stall when I bank the plane 5-10deg. Also the pitch at low speeds is bad. The airspeed drops off VERY rapidly when making small adjustments. The spoilers are over-affective. Making the plane stall for a 2 sec. spoiler deploy. I don't think the real plane acts like this.

Has anyone had these problems with ANY of the Meljet 777's? Perhaps it is just this version of it. Is there a good version with better flight dynamics that anyone can sugest? Preferably Continental livery for FS 2002.

Thanks for all your help.

f-16,

One of the differences between FS9 and FS2002 is a slight difference in the drag programming for the planes (not talking about Eddie Izzard here!). This results in planes with FDs designed for FS9 to fly with a different attitude in FS2002; nose-up or nose-down depending on what the FD asks for. You can correct this by amending the wing_incidence parameter in the [aircraft_geometry] section of the aircraft.cfg file. If you increase it, the nose drops and vice versa. I have the Continental Meljet 777 flying well in FS2002 - if you alter the wing_incidence=1.0 to 2.5, then this should lower the nose and cure your problem.

Remember that it's not just the Meljet - other FDs designed for FS9 and used in FS2002 might need similar attitude adjustments to fly properly.

Good luck!

Hey Microlight..
Could you send me your FD for the Meljet 777. I would like to compare it with mine and see what I can change. I would really apreciate it..
Thanks
