Since I miss judge my flare height, I usually get this bounce that gets me slightly off the ground and have to do a go around.
Any one have advice on how to grease a sim landing and transition to 2D sim quarks?
Thanks.
Is this a serious question?
The simulator is not a landing training device. In fact, whether you actually land or not is largely irrelevant. The simulator is for a lot of other things, but as a user of a simulator and an instructor in a simulator, I've never been graded on a landing, or given two hoots about the landing. The approach, yes. Procedures, yes. Takeoffs, yes. The landing? By the time you get to the point in your career in which you're training in an aircraft that merits a full motion simulator, you're generally expected to be able to land an airplane.
You're aware that there is no actual runway there to land on, right?
