Finally!

[D16]

After what must be hundreds of failed attempts to land the Spitfire I finally did it! 6 times in a row.
Now I can finish off the Inspect Airfield mission and be done with it. I tried the Aviator Layout and landing, and more importantly stopping with the Spit, was easy.
Flying in general felt easier. Even got my first kills online and won the match!
The latter part I think was more luck.

Having this love/hate relationship with BoP this was a boost.
For quite some time I have loved the game more when actually not playing...
Frequent visitor on this great forum.
For sure I will try my wings online more now.

Find it a somewhat annoying though that the different layout options also make the planes behave differently...
