I'm absolutely convinced that this issue is 100% due to the no wheel brake bug on the joystick set-ups. I've been playing exclusively on the gamepad and I have no tipping issues at all. Also I've played CTA with people that were much better pilots than I am, all were using joysticks, and they kept crashing and crashing and crashing, while I was able to land clean every time.

Try it with a gamepad and you'll see.

While I agree about the lack of brake issue on the joystick, I have to say that I quite often end up stacking my plane at 30mph during landings, and i'm using a control pad (PS3). I've found that the only way to avoid this is too brake in short bursts, and when you get near 30mph, stop braking and let it roll to a stop.

Of course, that doesn't help the joystick users, but it works for me!

Bug might not be the right word.. and maybe 100% is a bit much. I agree it's easier to land with the pad, but that's mainly because you can actually brake with it. It'll be solved after the patch though .

I want to apologise to the original poster. I play a lot of sim CTA so I know how to land on sim, BUT.... I'm not a big user of the spitfire, and have never used it in CTA game. Well tonight not many people were around on IL2 so I did some single player missions on sim mode and got to the battle of britain mission were you have to do touch a goes. I thought I might as well just land and stop. Well I couldn't, The spit tipped over once, then again with my wing man.

So I did a training mission at dover with the spitfire and Every damn time it would nose over. I finaly managed to land it a few times by putting the throttle into WEP at about 34 mph, letting the speed raise to about 45 mph and then cut the throttle and braking to 33 mph and then coasting past the nose over zone (which then seems half as strong as before and more like the tip forward that the other planes have) then braking to a stop. But this only works 1 time every 5 tries though. It does seem like a Spitfire only glitch, the mkIX is even worse than the mkII.

Were you forcing the back wheel onto the ground? When you land in this game you shouldn't use any elevators...

Made no difference. Besides at 30mph the weight of the plane is fully on the wheels and there is very little lift generated by any of the wings. anyway, having the elevator up pushing the rear wheel down how could that make the whole rear spring up like that. Its like its rear wheel has a pogo mechanism in it. where the hell does that energy come from because it isn't from the brakes as they are off or forward motion, which continues to decrese at the same rate as before the tip up only the nose digging in causes it to stop.
