how to land on xbox the spit mkIX in sim mode with a joystick??????

[SEE]

Landing the Spit on a stick is very difficult to do on the short runways. The method I use is to touch down at around 100 mph or slightly less and know the exact altitide of the particular runway I am approaching. I let the speed drop to around 35 -40 mph and maintain that speed, once the plane settles on all three wheels, with speed still over 35mph I use rudder and fire guns and pull the stick back, the nose suddenly tips slightly forwards but if you maintain the forward speed at 35 mph it usually settles back on its rear tail and you can then set the throttle to 0 ..Manston is the best one for practicing on.......

thx see!!!!
now that works!!!!!!i tried it and the second try was a successfull landing!!!!the only difference is that i dont pull the stick back while firing the guns,cause that leads to tilt over!!!but if i just let the stick in the center and fire the guns as you said it works every time and even on the short runways its no problem to come to a stand still. thx very much, now im really happy, beeing able to land my lovely spit IX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

once your firmly on the ground and decelerating just dont pull back on the stick anymore. take your hands off it.

for me, using this method, the plane still kicks forward slightly round 30mph but not enough to wreck.

i had problems with this a while back also

hey butcherbird!
i dont know for me that method isnt working.i tried it several times and most of the time the plane tilts.
do you use that method with the spit mkIX???how often does it work???

yes...thats me David.......we play each other regularly...thought you knew that.....

[David198502]

yeah i know that Evangeluse! but i didnt know that your forum name is SEE!!!!
well i guess i was lucky yesterday!!but you are damn good in dogfighting, particularly in a game with more players you always keep overview, which in my opinion is the most important and most difficult part in dogfighting!!!!!!!but its always fun to play with you, as you also prefer sim mode as only a few do!!!!
