this glitch i believe has its roots in that "inspect the airflields" mission. I revisited that months ago and IIRC when you hit 30 mph on your final airfield it gave me a mission complete. Or there was something else that occured at that speed during that mission that made me think it was it was the cause for the glitch. i could be and probably am barking up the wrong tree but.... i am going to have to retry that now...
I just posted a new thread regarding the stick and settings...I know you are quite familiar with yours...surprisingly I thought mine was just fine until now...I've had this stick not too long...don't know if it was wear and tear...but I would look into it.I realized this after Robotic's reply to the subject at hand...I'll ask you the same question...Are you saying the AI recognizes a good landing and a bad one...and the tip over is a result, regardless of braking technique? I just tried it once on the longest run way on the mission...don't know the the name of the airfield...need to brush up on my history...but I think its somewhere in Kent?...Anyway...I attempted the softest landing I could, utilizing a very long and shallow final, aiming for the early part of the runway...as to allow for a long run out...well that field has ample length anyway...and keeping in mind that the runway is slightly raised as to the grassy area...kept it on the main runway...I believe I shut down almost as I touched down...anticipating the magic speed at 57 KPH as expected...tipped slightly but a quick tug, on the stick...set it right back down...I just tried it once...but I believe Robotic is not far from the phenomenon...perhaps not a glitch but purposefully put it as an added challenge due to the Spitfire's nose heavy characteristic...ya think???
