allardjd 1,853 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nice shot, but you're landing downwind. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 HI Chris, There's some great close up detail of the 744, is it the PMDG? Maybe a bit of RT would add something? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I really like it. There's something not quite perfect about it but in my opinion, as a shot, it's not far off Link to post Share on other sites

reef 3 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nah its a still day and the fuselage draft blew the grass foreward Whats RT Joe ? :???: Looks good to me with only the sense off speed lost due to everything being in focus. Personally i would of motion blurred your added grass but thats just my opinion. Take care with your distortions as you have clipped the aircraft flaps in many places, these should be very sharp. Nice job though and something ver different. steve Link to post Share on other sites
1mag1n3 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks guys! And, yes steve, your explanation will do perfect!!! Joe, it is the PMDG yes, and what is RT?! Thanks again! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks guys!And, yes steve, your explanation will do perfect!!! Joe, it is the PMDG yes, and what is RT?! Thanks again! :idea: Reverse Thrust? Link to post Share on other sites
1mag1n3 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ohhh! I see now Heh, yeah thats true actually joe.. Just it was so close to touchdown that it hadnt deployed yet :???: Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 As far as i know which is not very far, you apply revrerse thrust "RT" (thanks Joe) after the nose wheel was down. This being a good idea due to the possibility of slewing the aircraft if both reversers are not applied equally. steve Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 You are right Steve that would be the preferred way but for the sake of art it would be ok I have seen reverse applied before the nose wheel is down, particularly on short runways like this shot I took at Bournemouth. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1078 Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Ah i see, thanks Joe. Always good to know how im supposed to land :mrhappy: I should probably read more. steve Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Though Mut has certainly captured evidence of the exception, and maybe even a place where the exception is the norm, I think it is most common to get the wheels planted before reaching for RT. It probably depends a lot on how deep in the yellow the pucker-meter is. If you think about the forces involved, since the engine thrust lines are above the main gear axles, reverse thrust will create a nose-up rotational force about the axles. It's an interesting situation and I suppose you could put the nose-wheel down very gently if you finessed it a little with reverse thrust and throttles. Directional control is the real issue, of course. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yep sorry Steve you are not supposed to land like that. (Unless you work for Tomsonfly!!) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
