I would just like to also add that for those using the Virtual cockpit; Try and maintain a glide angle. Its easy to do with the VC since you have a climb angle indictator. I personally try to use a 10~20 degree climb angle when landing, as this is just about right for a perfect 3 point touchdown. Also when using a pad, pulling back onthe right stick and simply gliding in also helps. When timed right, you dont even need to flare as your angle of attack should be as noted above and the plane works like its got an airbrake.

Also as a tip for those playing sim mode; When your landing and you think your coming in a bit to fast, do a rudder slide (eg left/right/left/right rudder). This will slow you down considerably before touchdown.
