Ok, I am getting more and more frustrated with PF3, as it seems it does things worse than PFE did.
Let me explain: I wasn't able to do a SINGLE flawless flight in PF3. Everything is fine until I am handed off to approach. From there on, it's all a mess.
First of all I thought it's because I had FAF distance to 4nm. But now I that I changed it to 9nm, it's even WORSE.
I did a flight EDDW to EDDT. I used the latest runway data and created a FP in FSC9 that imported fine.
I had the settings set to long runway, 1200ft/min on ascending and 900ft/min descending, I have turned speed off. All matching my plane perfectly well.
In the INI settings, I had FAF distance 9nm, FAF altitude 3000ft and speed off.
I was vectored, then asked to resume own navigation. After TOD, I was brought to 3000 feet with vectoring for runway 08L. ATC told me to reduce speed nevertheless, but that was within reasonable boundaries. I was slower than told.
When I reached 3000 feet, I was pretty close to the airport, way too close for my taste, and then I was just forgotten by ATC. I crossed the airport from the side of runway 08L, but NEVER on ILS, just the general direction.
I am starting to feel that I have wasted my money. I now have six full flights on record, a success quote of 0%.
The end part of the flight is just rubbish, sorry. BTW - transition altitude is never called, either (I think it was in PFE, wasn't it?)
Here's the plan I flew:
EDDW RORAN Z612 GESTO Z870 BKD L619 PITEN Z998 RATMO EDDT
RATMO is 33miles away from EDDT. FL was 170.
Please help, it's tremendously frustrating.
