BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 + Mini FIX--Bug thread

[Skoshi Tiger]

According to spitfire Performance site the landing run with brakes should be about 265 yards (from touch down?) or 335 odd yards from the 50' screen.

What we need to test is a runway with regularly spaced objects as markers.

May be a Friction issue. On spawning aircraft weathervanes into wind even with light winds implying little or no friction.

In addition to weak breaks the nose tipping tendency is way to much which doesn't really help as you cant get the brakes on aggressively enough as it is.

LOL I think you mean 'rolling resistance', Ivan. I wondered why some of my spawn experiences have the plane slowly yawing to one side - probably not modelled yet; hence the long roll-out after landing?

I think your latter comment is a contradiction though; it is the braking torque that is tipping up the plane! Probably also a pilot error; best not to apply the brakes unless you have all 3 points on the ground? I always end up on my back too!

The aircraft do seem to float a fair bit, but get the speed down to where it should be like around 70mph and it feels ok to me.

The rev counters on the Blen are still fuzzy though.

I only hopped in a Blenheim once or twice before the recent patching, but yeah - everything in that cockpit still feels a little blurrier than I remember.

On a plus note I managed to take out the JU88s at Oye-Plage myself last night!
