Landing gears to strong

the real issue seems to be within the shock absorbers IMHO. In a "patched" version of IL-2 I have the reworked FM for the BF109 which behaves properly, and trust me, the plane bounces around and torques on the landing gears like it's supposed to! Apparently the reason is a mistake in the FM coding, or so the guy explained me some time ago in " a certain other forum"

Let's hope they fix this.

Landing on a grassy field is VERY dangerous business, cos you never know what the ground is actually like (soft, bumpy, ditches etc..), that's why you should ALWAYS go for a wheels up landing outside a landing strip (unless you're using a road).

Tiger Moths landing gears are VERY rugged, in order to break one you will probably have to break the joints on the fuselage first!

Having said this, I've seen videos with Hurricanes literally bouncing off the ground with the gears down, that's definitely overmodelled..
