Here is the change of your lifetime! You get access to a product that has not even been released yet. I need your feedback on this plane, mainly about the flaps, slats, trim, landing gear, and reversers. If you have any comments at all, just let me know. Thanks!
Here is the link:
@FastDan Alright. Thanks anyway though.
@klm747klm747 Naw, I'm inactive sorry.
@FastDan did you actually give feedback though? I still would have appreciated it.
@CursedFlames Thanks for the feedback. Reverse thrust doesn't actually do anything yet, just the animation. The wing loading of the 757 is accurate, but the flaps and slat don't actually do anything right now either, just looking nice. Is there any way I can decrease the drag but not change anything on the physical appearance side? I also added a barely noticeable wingflex of 5 degrees, which is attached to the throttle. For every 20% throttle, the wings each flex 1 degree up. That you so much for your review. I really appreciate it.
Not exactly the chance of your life time, even SR2 beta testing was better than this.
Ok so I did a bit of testing and I have to say: the wings look really nice! I especially like the window view. I have to pick out some things that bugged me though:
I assume you will add windows to the cockpit area, though I feel the shape is slightly off.
The elevators seem slightly too large, could use being a little more swept back too?
Moving onto the flight characteristics... There are a couple noticeable issues:
The acceleration is very poor. I believe this is due to the aircraft's insanely high drag of 42000 points! This makes reaching cruising speed extremely long if not impossible. Reducing the drag beneath 20000 should remedy this...
The plane is very tail heavy. On takeoff, which takes a considerable amount of time, the plane is inclined to pitch upward. This makes tail strikes very easy. The gap between the CoL and CoM seems rather far, though the plane flies rather fine.
The brakes are quite ineffective, stopping on Yeager's runway after landing is to say the least, nearly impossible. Reverse thrust seems to be quite weak?
Very high wing loading! 64.7ft/lb, I'm not sure if this is an accurate figure but in SP this means that a speed in excess of 190mph is required to simply maintain level flight. To reference, some sources cite the approach speed of the 757 at around 160mph.
For all these, I found the flap system to be very nicely done. Slats are also very smooth.
Well that's essentially my summary on all the things I think could be improved. Sorry if some criticisms seem unfair or unjust, these are just what I thought needed some adjustment: overall, really enjoy the plane you've got here!
