HGU Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi, I have been trying Mission 1 countless times now, and in 99.99% with the same outcome: After the third turn (coming out of the third turn ....) I set my flaps to 25 degrees and start the fourth turn towards the runway. After a few seconds, I hear "Max RPM, Second attempt, Flaps were not extended" I tried RPM of 90% all the way down to 75%. Always with the same result. The mission briefing says 85%, but that didn't change anything. Sometimes I could set the flaps to full, sometimes I even had the "pass the runway threshold at a speed of 210" before it complained about the Max RPM. It also doesn't matter if it is the first or the second attempt. I was allowed to touch down once, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what I did differently that time. Can someone please explain what is required to avoid that message ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have not the campaign but what is your speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGU Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Hi Morpheus, the briefing says: When the angle to the runway is 10-15°, perform the fourth turn with a roll of 30° at speed of 280 km/h to align the aircraft with a continuation of the runway’s centerline. While performing the fourth turn, do not allow your airspeed to fall below 250 km/h. I am pretty sure I keep that speed. That is why the message about RPM is so confusing. Maybe it is about km/h and not RPM, maybe not. Is it about me exceeding speed limits or me being too slow ? I don't know. I cannot see any pattern, because I don't know what to look for. What I noticed in Youtube Videos, is, that those people are much farther away from the runway than I am. It seems my 8 o'clock is not theirs Edited January 6, 2022 by HGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Volator Posted January 6, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 6, 2022 I don't have the campaign, but it appears to me your IP is telling you to go around for a second approach and therefore orders to set full throttle (=max RPM) Looks like a condition for a trigger was not met... 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGU Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hmmm, good point, I never looked at it that way. That could mean he actually complains about the flaps only. So far I ignored that bit as I thought it was obviously wrong. Although I have extended them, it maybe happens too late somehow. I will check. Btw I opened the mission in the Mission Editor hoping to get more information, but I couldn't see anything besides general settings like weather and time of the day. I have not worked with the Mission Editor before. I just clicked through the tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGU Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Made it. This time I started my third turn much later (definitely didn't have the runway at my 8 o'clock) and focused on the flaps more than anything else. It all went smoothly straight away. I got the "no remarks, exit the runway" message. So I guess it has to do with some trigger zones for the flaps. Off to the next mission. Thank you, Morpheus and Pilot Ike for putting me on the right track 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
