Landing procedure is what you're missing. 190kts is far too fast.
Your approach should be at 21 units of AoA on a 3 degree glideslope (and obviously it will be more once you flare for the landing), the speed will take care of itself.
No, don't free-style it or land differently because 'it feels better' or 'cooler' or whatever. 3 deg glideslope, not 1, not 4 or 5, 3. 21 units AoA. Not 19 or 23, 21.

Thanks Frederf. That's useful information. A quick look through the Belsimtek manual did not uncover an airspeed reference chart, but page 126 recommends reaching the final approach fix at between 200 and 250 knts (I assume IAS), and flying a final approach speed of not less than 180 knts. I am just getting back into simming and the F-15C, but it seems that about 150 over the fence feels right with everything out, and Belsimtek does say that she gives up flying at 90 knts.
