Can't see to land SU27

[tonym]

In FC3 the SU27 & Migs have no forward view of the airstrip when landing circles are aligned in the HUD. The only way I can land them, is to approach too high & then dive for the runway at the last minute. Without 6 DOF, can anyone suggest a better way to land these aircraft, or a way to up the seat height to see over the nose.

Never seen this myself - got a screenshot per chance taken with TrackIr off, view centered (Numpad 5)?

You are doing too high AoA when landing... simply lower the flaps and keep speed around 260Km/h (give or take 10Km/h depending on fuel and load)

 

Keep about 5m/s descend rate and this way you should be able to keep the runway visual slightly above the nose

I presume you're following the speed guidance on HUD - and that's been reported as a bug already. That's why your AoA is too high. 260 is a good speed on final approach, as Kuky said.

Thanks guys for the advice. I was landing at too high AOA. Too heavy for 250 kts. 260 + gives a bit of a view. Can't wait for ED's promised 6DOF for the SU27.

Its 260Km/h as kuky said earlier. You would have difficulties to land on 260kts ;)

 

+1 can't wait either! But it won't come with 1.2.3 will it? Any time frame for that?

No, it won't make into 1.2.3 and no time frame can be given. When ED/Wags announce it you will know and can't know before.

I'm glad you figured it out but why do you need to see the runway anyway? Both Sukhoi and MiG have lots of good looking gauges...

tonym, please don't make two different topics in two different sections of the forums with the very same question ;)

 

Thx :)

I keep my approach speed between 290 and 300 km/h. That gives ma AOA low enough to clearly see the runway.
