SOLUTION - Issues with flap settings and floating down the runway

All,

I came across a solution for the screwy flap problems that have came with the latest MSFS update.  Its a pretty easy fix.  Navigate to wherever your main flight simulator folder is located, and then to the following location:

Packages\Official\Steam\asobo-aircraft-a320-neo\SimObjects\AirPlanes\Asobo_A320_NEO

Open the config file called flight_model with a text editor and search for the following: lift_coef_flaps

Change that value to 0.6.  As you can see, mine was at 1.45:



You should be good to go.

Actually here is a better list of changes for each aircraft. If your aircraft does not have lift_coef_flaps in the flight_model.cfg, reduce by half the lift_scalar section in the CFG.

Grand Caravan - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.9722 to 0.48610
Airbus A320 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 1.4538 to 0.7269
Boeing 747 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 1.11620 to 0.5581
Bonzana G36 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.31270 to 0.15635
Cessna C152 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.35220 to 0.1761
Cesna C172 G1000 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.33790 to 0.16895
CAP10C - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.63300 to 0.3165
CJ4 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.50180 to 0.2509
DA40NG - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.28200 to 0.141
DA62 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.19000 to 0.095
DR400 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.24620 to 0.1231
E330 - nothing changed as it doesn't have flaps.
Flight Design CT - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.52410 to 0.26205
Icon A4 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.54080 to 0.2704
King Air 350 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.85970 to 0.42985
Pitts - nothing changed as it doesn't have flaps.
Savage Cub - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.32100 to 0.1605
TBM 930 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 1.03210 to 0.51605
VL3 - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.87570 to 0.43785
XCub - lift_coef_flaps changed from 0.06040 to 0.0302

For the A320, Flybywire has a newly released version 0.5.3 that corrects the flaps/floating issue with that aircraft.

The Freeware ATR 72-600 works doesn't seem to be affected too much.

The TBM 930 remains utterly ruined from the latest update...almost unstoppable on the runway.

The A320neo in MSFS - if you use the freeware A32NX mod, is very good.

I applied the lift_coef_flaps change and the A320 flies like a charm again. FWIW, that change came from Microsoft, so at least they're aware of the problem and have provided a workaround. Next update should solve the problems with the flaps automatically.
