FS9 St Maarten Landings Airbus 340 vs Boeing 747

[Awesomeness6699]

I say Airbus wins this battle because of its cabin AND its easy and responsive controls

If it were to be a 757 or a 777 boeing will win because of it

[Awesomeness6699]

@FSXGuy1 um do you know what an a280 looks like

Now do you know what and A340 looks like

Thats what i thought

[planeboys]

what addons have you got not planes scenery?

[vilogi]

como haces el video?? el airbus 340 es de pmdg??

felicidades,muy bueno el video

[marko071988]

bumpy landings!! was there a lot of wind??

[fs9dude]

i was asking about the airport mainly

[fs9dude]

on my fs9 the princess juliana airports gates are way to small for a 747. is your version of the airport an add on. oh and what was that big beeping noise at like 1:20

[tootoo50]

setting the flaps he has pmdg like me they real sounds i swear the default 747 is sooooooo fake but the pmdg is great in take off and approaches and maintaning speed in ils unlike the default. the pmdg if it goes below speed the throttle quickly goes back up but the plane isnt jerky

[fs9dude]

thanaks but that wasnt my main question

[aircanadapilotz]

i kno i was bored =p

[fs9dude]

u didnt awnser any of my questions

[jimbotrains]

also the A-340 landing was more realistic than the 747. I mean the point of the runway which you landed on and how smooth it was and the approach. Great landings and vid!

[jimbotrains]

what settings is your FS2004 running on?

[dirtyDielo]

sweet landings but one thing i dont understand why A340 vs B747 it should be A380 vs B747 the 2 biggest but stil great vid

[jesusrulesflight]

wow dude nice frams

can be spttery but still]

really awesome frames how may frames are u getting

[askedenseje]

747 QUEEN OF THE SKIES...!

it got my vote

[intercomps]

Don't understand how this is 2004, I'm sure graphics like this aren't on 04 and the Juliana Map.

[renatolabanca]

show, guy

[berga10mito]

I love your videos!!they are very nice and the PSS a340 is the best for me!!great landing!!!

[JiggyHolland]

2.24. he called you a retard

[ScottsOne]

No, he told him to retard.

[jesusrulesflight]

which means slow

[ScottsOne]

Nope, it means to gradually reduce.

[mickfs2004]

yep, A343 has very slow climb rate with its underpowered engines

[timdoyle91]

How do you get so much detail in the virtual cockpits? Mine are always rubbish

[gang4001]

lol u landed on the right wheel

[R34BOY]

Mad video man, just one question, how do you look around in the cockpit like you did in FS9, because i've got it and i cant figure out how to. PLz reply-thanks!

[Slashfan90210]

use the hat switch on your joystick (if you have one) if not, you can buy a program called active camera that will help you look around the cabin and stuff

[R34BOY]

ok thanx

[lolvks]

spoilers work just like flaps but instead of increasing lift+drag,they decrease lift+drag.When you touchdown,they auto deploy (if armed during approach)and increase the overall efficiency of the brakes.

[vac2311]

i like the a340 more

[wazzawazza73]

spoilers do help braking on the ground, but mainly in smaller planes, so they stay on the ground . . .

Anyway, nice vid, but in the A340, you were a bit low on approach.

[flyboy1994]

Is that active camera?

[CarbineGuy]

Um spoilers are normally always used in commercial aviation. You don't want your plane bouncing back up again, and it does help you brake, but barely.

[flymobile]

Barely? I tried puting the spoilers up brfore I touched down and I dropped like a rock. I crashed. They really help you stop.

[flyboy1994]

exactly. Spoilers reduce lift on the wings.

[CarbineGuy]

Don't use them in flight. Of course that doesnt help. What you want to do is hit shift + / and that will arm auto spoilers, so when you touch down, they deploy. They're always used in real life, and I use them on every landing I can. If you absolutely need to use them in the air, use flight detent.

[mgardiner2725]

Close to the stall speed...but I wouldn't say you HAVE to stall it. I've been on plenty of jumpseat rides before 9/11, and i've observed on many occasions pilots landing at least 10-15knots above stall speed.

To stall the aircraft means to lose all lift from the wings, and the aircraft will effectively drop like a sack of potatoes. If it was the case that you had to stall an aircraft at touchdown, then there would be no need for spoiler deployment on touchdown.

[JetJockey87]

spoilers also help with air braking though, and you still can ride jumpseat in planes, you have to work for the company however, my mate rode shotgun on a 737 just te other day, wikkid aircraft, hes going for his CPL though, i hate most pilots myself, engineer and all..

[mgardiner2725]

Very true they do..but what I was getting at was that there would be no need for deployment upon touchdown if it was true what he was saying. Air braking is pretty much useless on the ground...thats what the auto + footbrakes are for one would think.

[juansuk]

747 queen of the sky!!

[ptroinks]

Weird... I've never had that problem landing 747s at St. Maarten. How much fuel did you have in there?

[gds1847]

The problem with 747 was the "KaiTak way" approach xD

[Ubeans2001]

When you land you actually have to stall it at touchdown...(My dad's a pilot)

[LH4384]

Where do you got the scenery ? and the A340 ?

[flymobile]

Yeah?

[SCORCH543]

lol retard retard love that cpu voice

[oneworldguy]

LOL! I think the video was nice, though. The passengers in the KLM 747-400 were probably going bananas, though!

[GS8000]

lol you cant land the 747-400 :)

you land too fast with it!

4/5 $TAR$.

[gds1847]

Sink rate warning in real life. See this video= watch?v=SIiSqsN1AF4

[JJ2422]

is sink rate bad?

[chris08712]

Yes, you "sink" too fast (need more knots), 140-150 kts for landing is ok

[gds1847]

The rate descent in final app was deliberate to correct the glidescope. I cant make a middle rwy touchdown in SM with a 747.

[Fabo0315]

Shouldnt be so hard if you are aligned far enough...

[mohsinalinasim]

wat do u personally like?

[tobiasbs]

what site did you get both these from?

[gds1847]

A340 "phoenix-simulation.co.uk"

B747 "precisionmanuals.com"
