I find the solution!! Firespiter's FSwheel module has function to set drag when deployed. I modified a landing gear from KAX, to make the landing gear slightly smaller and lighter to fit a light aircraft, and a bit higher drag when deployed (some thing like 0.5). And now I can land a light trainer aircraft at even 5 degree glide slope with no spoiler! Even need to add thrust when approaching at 3 degree slope. This is now very realistic and convenient, I'm happy now

and what EAS are you flying on?

is there a air brake module? I tried to put a chute module on, but created more mess than usefulness.

Would also be a good option if steam gauge read the FAR speed setting or at least with a switch to toggle this option on. e.g. if user choose EAS+ kt in FAR setting, steam gauge HUD can change to that automatically , it would be nice. For players that has been flying in real life and/or flight sims for quite some time, its a bit hard to change mind to m/s, imagine you have m/s on your car speed display

Wondering if we can do anything to increase Cd0 when landing gears are deployed? It's a little bit annoying when we have to add spoiler even on very light aircraft in order to EDIT: Firespiter and its FSWheel module seems to have deployed drag??

One realistic solution would be adding drag when gears are lowered. Hope FAR could do this in the future

Would it be possible to display speed in knots?

Well being able to fly it and being able to fly it with SAS off (along with the supper powerful reaction wheels) at full envelope are two massively different things. But yes it is totally feasible for most designs, I've made some thing like a X-48/ X47B and its handling falls well within Cooper Harper rating level I, without SAS and reaction wheels. But it takes knowledge of real aircraft design process, and lots of tweaking. The real beauty of the new mods is that, such aircraft only has 18 parts! With P/Parts and Bac9's new P/Wing mod, happy flying and no more graphic card meltdown.

Got the disappearing H menu issue too.

That's quick! Thank you so much for the light speed update!

Thank you for this great piece of work ! I have been waiting for a parametric editing method for so long! A few things I thought that could improve: 1. It would be great to reduce the minimum base section width of the control surface to be able to make a small control surface. the current min of 0.25 is a tad too big for elevator of a small aircraft, I know we can reduce the trailing edge section width to 0 but that would make a square end! If we could drop base min width it to 0, or near 0, then just control the trailing edge section width for a smaller control surface, that would be awesome ! 2. Currently for wings, if we select trailing edge shape 1, the trailing edge disappeared but the TE area is still counted for, so if we add a control surface, the TE area are being calculated twice! Perhaps we can take that area and weight out when we select trailing edge shape 1?

It might be better to set number of days of resources rather than setting the resource quantity itself in the Modular Fuel Tank setting menu?

Great Mod! Nice and Simple! It would be even nicer if we can tweak the scale of it. I found the velocity vector drifted slightly from where it should be some how?

I can only see two options: root and tip thickness.

Thanks for the great work! I have some ideas regarding this great mod: From a Aero Engineer's point of view, it would be great to have manual input/adjust of certain parameters beside the dragging function. I would LOVE to see adjustable parameters like root and tip chord length, semi span, mid-span sweep (or simply root LE distance from tip LE) etc. and it would be even greater to have root and tip chord thickness as ratios of chord (t/c) rather than absolute thickness! Just imagine a right click menu with adjustable numbers for Cr, Ct, b/2, t/c®, t/c(t) and sweep distance! If I dare ask more, I would say individual root and tip chord install/twist angle would be nice. if wing twist is too difficult for FAR implementation, at least have a fine adjustable install angle. This also helps fine setting of the horizontal tail plane angle, so we can trim the aircraft to a certain Cl(speed) in the hanger! How cool is that! And... fuel in the wing would be awesome! doesn't need to be a lot, can be as low as 40-50% of the volume. This would open a whole new door for aircraft designs!
