The other stick, pull back on the elevators. Don't worry you won't take off again at low enough speeds you'll slow down even faster.

not as fast if we had brakes!

I only have one stick... I'm using the Aviator flight stick!!! Please believe me when I say it doesn't work.

We all know this already.

Instead of just having the plane explode when too damaged to take off again, why not first animate a straffing run from an enemy plane (seen or unseen) striking the landed craft to give a good reason for the plane to explode? Btw, this is my first post here.

With regards to landing I had no problem with it. All you need to do is practice. In the BoB level, right from the start bank left and look below your plane. What do you see? A runway. Just use that over and over, taking off and landing. It really isn't that difficult. maybe I'm missing something here.

And there is a brake. When landing just pull the right stick back continuously. Notice how much faster the speed drops than if you aren't touching the stick.

EDIT: I think I just figured out what you maybe doing wrong. When coming in for the landing, make sure your flaps are in the "LANDING" option. I just tried both, one lead to a quality landing with subsequent take off, other lead to flip-over

Which realism setting are you playing on? I'm doing it in Sim, and have practiced a lot and it is still really hard, I can do it but maybe only 1/5 tries. Guess I need more practice. Was World War II really this difficult?

No brake on Flight stick.

Good point :/ ... Well, then my suggestion is just land as close the beginning of the runway as possible and pull the stick back

And I am now having more difficulty... *sigh* I don't know what I'm doing differently but I do know what having the flaps set to "LANDING" makes a huge difference so make sure they are set.

still flips over without the brakes.
