Need advice on landings

[Vengeanze]

Thanks Grathos.
Had some runs just now and think it was my carrier landings from PF that messed things up. I was too low and slow and aimed at end of runway.

Now on the baseleg I'm at 1500mts and open canopy, gear and flaps down. Turn into final at 1000mts with apx. 2200rpm and alot of trim(both). Speed just above 100mph.
Aim at beginning of runway. Throttle down to 1800rpm when I cross fence and sliiiiiddeeeee in with nose up for 3-point and cut at touchdown.

Btw, I'm practicing with the Spit mkI. Plane is much more stable with some more speed.

Can't see myself eating popcorn while landing for a long time.

Hi Veng,

IMHO you are starting your circuit much too high. Try to not to have more than 500/600m height above field upon base. Otherwise your gliding slope wld be too abrupt with inherent difficulties when correcting speed.

Wow, I feel like landing is so easy. I can bring a hurri or 109 in with damage from 3000 ft above the runway. Just slip to lose speed, dump the flaps and gear to create drag and dont go too slow. Using the wheel brakes is the hardest part, just tap them. In real life landing an airplane is much more difficult than our always sunny CoD world!

What a great advice for people trying to learn good landing procedures, Bull ...

Appreciate all tips. I'll try em all.
I'm the kind of guy who wanna do it correct first, then deviate from there.

Gimme a couple of days more and I'll be there too. Bought the game a week ago and spent first time tweaking.

Right on! Ive had it for 8 days, so i guess you win. But I do work, so more time is spent away from the game all my CoD time is spent on Syndicate sever. Full realism and no single player ever, hope to see you online!
