Just to let everyone know that Phil has put up the three AlphaSim FS9 Phantom packs as freeware. They have been zipped up into a single 95MB Virtavia .msi installer and will appear as Virtavia models once installed. Sounds are included.
Many thanks to Mark Harper for allowing this so these can get out to the public again.
I had a play with this pack over the weekend and found the flight dynamics in the landing configuration very hard to handle.
The checklist quoted approach at 156kt with touchdown at 140kt but the descent rate at those speeds with full flaps was huge. Winding up the power didn't decrease the descent rate but only increased the speed. Use of spoiler didn't help either.
Does anybody know if this behaviour is right or do I need to do some FD fettling to make things behave ?

This is exactly how a jet is supposed to behave. Descent rate at 156 kts would be about 800 fpm.
