Hey! Now that’s the problem with the Boeing 787 ILS landing again. After the last upgrade, it has become impossible to land.
I have flown between EKCH and EHAM several times and had acceptable landings. Does anyone else have the same problem? Long ago I had similar problems but it was fixed after an ASOBO fix. I have 1.14.5.0
I’m not very good at English so I use google translate.
I have no mods installed.
Sincerely

I am in the same situation. The B787 regressed … what a pity, it worked perfectly before.

Yep it just floats around and bounces.

I don’t have any problems honestly, flown yesterday mallorca-las palmas, and today Kampala-Mautitius also smooth
@SwedCap2020 and @Fly83130, ‘slightly’ more details are required to help you with troubleshooting.
No problems here. Flies the approach better than before.
(no more severe pitch up/down in ground effect).
edit: Noticed another problem.
Using speeds shown on the FMC page (+5kts) results the correct ~ 0° pitch attitude but too high approach speed, which is responsible for the excessive floating.
In this case you have reduce the thrust to idle at ~200ft AGL.
The REF speed on the speed tape is 30kts lower but results a too high pitch attitude ~ +7° (REF +5kts)
But at least you can start the flare at a normal height (~50ft) and reduce the thrust at ~30ft.

I just finished a flight with the 787. It went great and landing was very smooth. You probably have some other issue with your install.
J’ai le même problème avec le B787. J’ai un joystick Saitek X52 Pro et les réactions des contrôles sont très lents surtout à l’atterrissage comparativement aux autres avions du simulateur.
yep the b787 is floaty, bouncy, and overall unrealistic
Well, it may be unrealistic I don’t know. I’m not a professional pilot. But it’s not floaty or bouncy
Depends on which approach speed you are using. See my previous post.
What is curious is that the plane dives just before landing. However the Auto Trottle is deactivated … I arrive at 140 Knot … impossible to reach 125 Knot as before. The plane being too fast, the landing gear is damaged
Without knowing the weight and hence the computed REF speed, it’s impossible to know if 125kts is too slow or fast.
I didn’t observe any diving tendency.
The combination of a too high speed and a diving tendency doesn’t make much sense to me.
No diving for me. You have to maintain correct speed during landing or you will have problems.
It is incomprehensible. The fuel is at its lowest. Weather ok … But since the update, impossible to land correctly. Just before hitting the ground, it dives down and bounces. Impossible to reduce the speed sufficiently without falling.
I am going to change technique … but I have mastered this plane well for months. I do not understand
What’s the actual weight and the CG?
A very far forward CG can cause a slight pitch down when entering the ground effect and a too low airspeed as well.
Confirm this happens with the AP being OFF.
How to adjust the CG? I do not understand. I keep the default simulator configuration when launching a flight.
And I always have 5 fuel before I land. I haven’t touched anything, I don’t have any addons installed. Before it worked perfectly, I have wonderful replays
You don’t need to adjust the CG. I only want to know the actual weight and actual CG from the weight & balance menu when landing.
Were do you get the REF speed for the approach from?
Thank you but how to find these values?
Click on the weight symbol. To be able to see the CG you have to expand the weight and balance menu window AFAIR.
And where do you get the approach speed from?
ok thanks for your advice. I will do some tests taking your comments into account.
