Not sure if anybody else tried this in Hornet's Nest: Instead of attacking the transports I went the other way and found the airfield and tried to bomb/strafe the crap out of it before the they got there. It doesn't work - still lost the mission. :-P

and a other strange thing,when i press the circle buton for the map,the plane always makes crazy things

This happened to me in a different mission. It was because I wasn't flying with the pilot at the top of the list the mission didn't end until I switched back. Also flying with a pilot who isn't top of your alive list will make your plane bank hard when you press the map because it is trying to get into formation behind your top of the list pilot.

Oh and whatever you do don't press the map button while stationary at the end of an airstrip. when you come back out of the map the AI takes over your plane and runs it off the end of the runway into a ditch/tower/trees.

Doesnt sound to good lol.

You'll still hit that "bump" at speeds of 40-60 km/h but the plane wont tip over. I've managed to do some quite short landing this way, being able to take off in the same direction on even the shortest runways...rudder being stuck to the left is a killer when taking off again tho :( so watch out for that

Edit: I usually fly with the aviator settings on the control pad so I have to change it to the wireless control settings whenever i have to land b/c 1st option doesnt offer pecise throttle and braking control

Wait a minute, what brakes, or do you mean throttle to zero/full elevator? Keep throttle above zero until you hit 100, or is there a brake on standard layout?

Raising the flaps totally makes sense, I shoulda thought of that

I usually can't land that slow, I use an old sixaxis and the left stick won't center, so there's no deadzone at all. can't hold the plane steady enough when a slight movement can cause a stall. Most planes I have to touch down at about 170-180. I'm gonna get a DS3 as soon as I can find one for a good price

so keep throttle above or at zero until u hit 100, and then full brake on and dont touch the elevator, just let the back wheel touchdown by itself

And for low landing speed, try n use ur landing flaps (duh) and trim as much as u can during approach, at some point if ur lined up ok, u wont need any stick input and will control the rate of descent with the throttle only.
