The A350 is fantastic! But my question is about Concorde:
Did something change regarding the ground effect physics on landing? Starting with the update 2 or 3 versions ago, Concorde doesn’t land the same as it used to. I’ve read various accounts from pilots about flying it, and they describe landing Concorde in real life. The delta wing would create a huge ground effect close to the runway. This would slow the descent rate but also create a nose down pitching moment. For the pilot, all they had to do was pull back a little to maintain the same pitch attitude (11 deg nose up) and decrease the throttles to idle at 10-20 feet above the runway. Then the aircraft would settle gently on the runway.
In Aerofly, using this technique worked beautifully, until 2 or 3 versions ago. Now, if I try it this way, the jet slams onto the runway every time. It’s very hard to get a smooth landing in Concorde on Aerofly. But this wasn’t always the case.
