Landing issues in simulator mode

spit73 · #1 02-20-2010, 05:20 PM

Can someone help me. I am trying to complete Inspect Airfields mission on Simulator mode. Every time I try landing the plane rolls down the runway and just when it is about to stop it flips forward and crashes. What am I doing wrong. I have tried everything, coming in slow, Holding the throttle all the way back on landing, Flaps on landing position and then trying with them raised. So frustrating. If anyone can help that would ease a lot of pain, Cheers

Yeah the spitfire does that for somereason. if you try and keep level when you touch down (keep your back wheel off the ground) for as long as possible it mostly seems to abate it...mostly.

Make sure you have a good long line-up on the runway as you slowly come in.

Come in at 30% throttle and once you touch down "brake" until your speed gets to 70-60. Once that happens put your stick in neutral and lay off the brake. Giving a tiny bit of throttle just before the Spit feels like it's going to bury it's nose in the dirt helps. After your speed reduces from 60-50 you should be able to brake with no problem.

Thanks that helps.
I saw on another thread that it seems to be a bug. It said to brake when landing and rapidly pulling the left stick back and forth and it seems to prevent the plane flippiong. It seemed to work. Thanks so much.

It's not really a bug, Spitfires do that in real life.

The trick is not to decelerate too fast, and it works for all planes. Besides not dragging the tail through the flip-speed zone, it helps to increase throttle till you're cruising at 65kph, then reduce as slowly as possible. The slower you go from 65 to 50, the better. Once the speed is below 50 it's safe.

Unfortunately it's just what spits do!

Try firing a few rounds to stabilize it too

dont worry it just takes a bit of practise I was rubbish at landing in sim and now i find it the easiest
