Takeoff - Aircraft is positive rate/flying at 2 degree's where it should be 7-10

[aceridgey]

I've done countless testing across both the 900 and 1000, at light and now MTOW A350 out of LAX.

 

TOW 320.8 tonnes, KLAX LAX 101853Z 25008KT 8SM FEW010 FEW014 23/17 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP152 T02280167 $

 

 

The inibuilds A350 gets airborne around 2-3 degrees at rotation and by the time 8degree's rolls around I am a good amount airborne.

If you check countless a350 videos on youtube you'll find that airborne point is around 8 degrees, which would be typical for a commerical jet. 

I worry there is something big going on here that may not be addressed but I am 100% confident it is incorrect behaiviour.

Yeah rotation is messed up, wait for them to fix

it's verson 12? Are we sure it'll be fixed?

Because you watched videos on YouTube of the real thing, and not because you actually fly the real thing you are 100% confident?

Bold.

I would never be more than 86% confident about some aircraft behavior I have never flown in real life myself numerous times. 😉

I don't need to justify my experience to you, but I stand by my comment.

Confirmed on 2020 as well, version 1.1.3. It was fine on 1.1.2, will revert to old version.

Any inibuilds staff able to comment?

[dectenor1]

Yeah the aircraft takes off like an helicopter...

[unairspace]

They know and they will fix are two different stories.

[aceridgey]

Please can we have an update from staff?

[aceridgey]

Friendly bump

Friendly bump, if it is not possible that this is going to be fixed can we at least have a statement?

 

It really affects my enjoyment of the product. Rotating and getting airborne pretty much instantly really breaks immersion.

Totally agree.

 

Along with all the other errors one encounters before you’ve even taken off, as soon as you rotate you just get the feeling that the aircraft isn’t modelled correctly and it really ruins any enjoyment of it.

According to other reports it happens with the a340 as well, it has been said they get aerodynamic data, but as i've said a few times now I think it would be good for ini to get stick aggregate data from the digital flight data recorder of reference aircraft if possible, I doubt they will address this as they to standyby their comment of their flight models being accurate, but for Takeoff and Landing in that regard, the data must be not accurate there.

I find it hilarious how it still hasn't been fixed. Do all they do say we're going to fix it yet still think the flight model is the best thing ever or the a350 is the ultimate airliner experience which atleast in my opinion it still isn't? I believe they just think fixing it means their flight models are utter trash and don't represent all the 'hard' work they've put into it, yet the a340 also suffers from the same issue and a pitch up jerk just like the a350. (I haven't noticed it to much so I think it's fixed but I would damn hope so)

I accept ini system depth, but what I don't accept is saying all this hard work being poured into flight models make the aircraft true to life blah blah blah and yet charging so much for this aircraft (what areas do we actually pay for, modelling and visuals?) to never even fix issues that are reported and leave them on the backburner for months, shame on inibuilds, the release criteria is a huge component for what even caused this aircraft to be a chaotic release and all the focus had to be put into wasm crashes, so I think it is time for inibuilds to focus on the stuff that truly matter, performance has improved and so has less chance of wasm crash for many.

I truly hope the next airbus in the fleet the a380 can turn the tides for what inibuilds can do in the areas where they suffer the most, performance is now good but it better not be we release it when we think the majority will like it, that has been far from the truth, but will they listen? Probably not
