When landing the 777, the speed is automatically set to 145 kts. I've found that this leads to you having to flare at an excessively high angle to reduce the vertical speed. I've figured out that 150 kts works a lot better, and the flare angle is a lot more realistic, like what we see irl. Could this be something you could change?

We've recently increased the ground effect for the 777 to make this easier. Is your observation still valid for the most current version?

Look at the differences between the Sim and an irl landing. See how in real life, the plane doesn't flare as much in the sim yet still touches down smoother than the Sim.
But we don't know the speed and the weight of the aircraft... Our 777 is at max landing weight for example, they probably are not.

Hey, try to use 148 knots, it is a lot better for me. If you search some landing video of Being 777-300er on YouTube, you might see a lot of pilots were using 148 knots!

Yea 148-150 works best for me
