How fast were you at that point? Frame rate is another issue. When you get close to the ground (as when landing), especially with complex add-on scenery like our KSBP VPC edition, the drop in frames can cause a lot of problems like over correcting PIO's (Pilot Induced Oscillations). Well, glad you got it figured out. > BTW, I have some inflight photos and proof of my second good landing if > anyone is interested. Ben, what is the easiest way to upload a few > photos? There's no need to provide "proof" of anything. We don't grade landings (well, except for tb's!) As long as you had fun and maybe learned something, then it was a good flight. And that's all that counts. The easiest to send a pix is to upload them to the File Library Forum or just email them to me. Thanks!
