[The A340 is overpowered]

Please @iniSteven read us. It’s been disapointing considering the great addon it is already and the great addon It could be.

-It’s too easy to lift off the aircraft during initial rotation and it’s going airborn too fast while in the real life every A343 take off is a battle against causing a tail strike or just even lifting off (We all remember the Edelweiss descending just after lift off).

 

-After experiencing the aircraft quite a few times now and viewing a lot of videos of real Life and the INI. I’m sorry but I want to see these books because It isn’t normal to make 3000ft/min in Mexico close to MTOW. The real problem isn’t the CLB itself because after puting CLB THR the ROC is just perfect. So I think the Thrust between CLB until TOGA is way to high and by reading all the comments this might be something to be change to have something more realistic for T/O. 
 

I do really hope your are considering and reading ours resquests and we are aware that is still an early stage of the addon and futurs updates are on the way. But please, change the initial ROC, this is the major problem which prevent the addon to be perfect ! We want to feel a real A340 really struggling to get off the ground and climb those first thousand feet !

Thanks for reading.

 

Regards.

Hello,

I would like to thank you again for providing to the community this beautiful airplane.

I observed than the initial ROC is too much. Between 2000 and 2500ft/min or more at heavy weight which is way too much and even at light weight T/O and It doesn’t give the feeling that the aircraft is struggling to climb. Looking over-powered. In reality the A343 just after lift off has a ROC very very low. Around 1600 1700ft/min and sometimes even less ! As you can see here as an example of a real A343 Take Off: To defend my opinion, this only one of the many videos we can find on the internet (low climb, nearly hitting the tail, more recently descending just after lift off or pilots feedbacks). Even at low weight the A340 is used by major airlines in the summer for short haul flights, we can observed a terrible weak ROC.

Even at low weight the A343 got a very weak Rate of Climb and not 3000ft/min or more on the addon and I hope this will be improve later. This Topic following my previous one that which I can’t find anymore where I suggested engines and spool-up behaviour (the initial spool-up is too fast and from 50% N1 to Flex THR, It’s too slow). It should be the opposite. 

My biggest matter is the Rate of Climb which needs to be review in the next update because it’s the identity of the a340 at any weight and I think it’s a shame if we don’t see that in the futur considering the beautiful addon It is already.
 

Once again, Thank you so much for this addon that a lot of people were waiting for so many years and the quality of It. Looking forward for futurs updates !

Best regards.

That depenfs on the payload. I have just done a first take of with a fully loaded plane and it really strugled upon take off and the climb path was very shallow. And BTW I would not judge a real world plane's behavior by watching YouTube videos.

 

If you tell me you were fully loaded it’s normal but who is doing flight with 100% fuel and 100% payload. There are plenty of video of the REAL airplane either at light and heavy weight. And if we make a comparaison with the real aircraft, the addon is overpowered.

Not judging with a YouTube is your choice, But when it’s 1 2 3 10 15+ videos and pilots’s feedbacks I think that change everything in my opinion. Again it’s a 1.0 version so I’m waiting the futurs updates and I know the work isn’t finished.

 

Regards.

Hello,

I forward the topic I created because overall the airplane is great but for me the initial Rate of Climb is way to high compare to real life, we can see tons of videos of the 343 struggling to climb, nearly hitting the tail and barely Climb above 1000ft/min.

 

I really hope the INI team will have a look on It as It is part of the identity of this airplane.

 

Regards.
