Yes.....I HAD to try flying some "blue planes" today. I have flown a lot the Spits, Mustangs and some I-16. I land and take off with them all. I would said I land without any damage 8/10 times. (Depends on damage).
Ok, I tried the BF-109G2 just to see how it was landing with it. I don´t know why I never fly blue side, it may be because I like the look of allied planes better. I consider myself above the "newbie" stage as I have flown this sim for nearly 2 years now. That´s why it frustrates my when I can´t land a BF-109. It´s kind a embarresing for myself, so therefore I seek help! Feel like a complete newbie again!
This is what I do. I have made a quick mission where I am lining up with the landing strip. (Concrete). I set full flaps down and lower gear at around 280 km/h. I try to make a good glideslope so I do not come in to fast or sinking to much. I try to land at around 170 km/h. The problem I have, is the stick is shaking due to landing gear down. ( I have MSFF2 with force feedback). This shaking is bigger than in an allied plane. I think I "wobble" to much, but everytime when I think I have the plane fine and level and speed is fine, I tip over! I always flare, but the narrow gear under my vulnerable BF-109 just can´t stand it! Anyone fancy to upload a track where you land this freaking plane?
What am I missing? Do I need to land at slower speed? I feel my plane stalls when under 170 km/h. Hard to keep level then. I also have trottle at around 20-30% when landing. I saw the training video of the AI landing, and I see he lands on the two wheels a long time before the backwheel comes down. I also think I may be sinking to much. Maybe I will try to start the landing from more far out. Any tips?
