Landing issues in simulator mode

Well said angelo. It's nonsense and goes against the laws of physics. In Il-2 1946 the plane rightly tips if you brake to much at too fast a speed. The kinetic energy to tip the plane comes from the forward momentum. Once the forward speed has lowered you can brake harder because the enegy is no longer enough to tip the plane.

In Birds of Prey it is the complete oposite, Crazy. You can brake hard as you like as soon as you land even at high speed without nosing over into a cartwheel. This is like being able to drink a cup of tea while doing an emergence stop in your car without any spillage - Imposible. Then once you should be completely safe at only 30mph with no sudden loss of momentum, the plane gains a mysterious and invisible extra force that tips it up. This is compareable to being thrown though the windscreen of your car after dropping below 30mph to take a corner. Its just wrong physics.
