Nose up on landing and ident
-
Folks in the 146, which otherwise is quite an easy aircraft to land in the sim, I nevertheless always get a nose up pitching moment as the main wheels touch down - my understanding from the RJ (not the 146 admittedly) RW manuals is that it is the opposite and in fact there is a nose down pitching tendency, especially with the airbrake extended. Getting this on the RJ too. Can any RW 146/RJ flyers confirm whether this is accurate? It feels as if the aircraft is almost losing control on touchdown and it is very unnatural to pitch down heavily on landing.
Also, I know this is an MSFS problem, but can you guys not create your own sounds for the nav idents so that they are properly audible/usable? Probably less pressing in the RJ but a non-EFIS a/c with no other way of identifying the nav aids it just can't be done at the moment because you can only (faintly) hear it when the a/c is on the ground and shut down.

The nose-down pitch change on the aircraft comes with selection of the Lift Spoilers. The selection should be made asap after the main wheels are planted. The RJ, with its auto select of Lift Spoilers actually required a slight aft movement to avoid the nose wheels hammering into the tarmac.
To get the best from brakes there should be rearward movement of the elevator to put some weight on the wheels.

Well on the 146 at the moment it's the opposite - the nose is pitching up on landing and it is quite difficult to maintain control until the nosewheel is on the ground.
