There's just a couple of planes that have this problem. The La-7 for example is perfectly 'landable'.

And the bf-110, actually personally i find the i-16 type 24 is the easiest plane to land, so easy to just plonk down at high speeds (providing the ground is flat).

but then again, this thread was to address the 'inspect the airfields' mission. i dont think many people fly around just landing. i mean, i know a lot of people on this forum do, including me.

what other planes experience the flipping issue?

I bought a stick and have hardly used it. I'm just so used to the controller that it was like learning how to play all over again.

So far of all the planes ive landed, only the spitfire has the tipping over without brakes glitch. Other planes will tip up at 30mph if you have the brakes applied though. Its like the spitfire's centre of gravity has been set too far forward. I swear if a bird landed on the spinner while the plane was parked, it would end up on its nose.

Thanks Man, tonight I was finaly able to complete that single mission. Pulling the stick back lots of times just before the tipping zone works almost every time. I also found you can hold on the brake as soon as the front wheels touch down, brake though the tipping zone (just about) and to a stop. But you can also make the tipping alot smaller by letting go of the brake a millisecond before the tip starts, so if you stop braking at about 31mph the tipping motion is almost nothing. Such a weird glitch only on the spitfires.
