Landing the Spitfire on Sim

[edal86]

It does not really matter how you touch down, I sometimes land the spitfire directly from a dive from 400 meters. I think what you are asking is how to make it stop once landed. Since I have no brakes I sometimes fire shots to reduce my speed but this is not necessary because you can also use rudder left and rudder right until your speed reaches 70 k/h. Then pay attention because at exactly 57 k/h it will flip. Let the plane reach 60k/h by itself without pitching your nose up and at 59 k/h quickly pull the elevator analog stick down so the nose pitches up. This works for me perfectly. hope it works for you

And if that doesn't work, start firing the guns before you flip and keep the trigger held down. This slows the aircraft and stops it from flipping.

It would be good news if the firing rounds provides a workaround for this infamous "flip 57 bug" with Aviator and Sim difficulty. I have to try it later today. Too bad if you run out of ammo

BoP is a great game - but still I'd prefer a fix to a workaround though I know how popular workarounds are in IT business...

That would at least require that the developers would get the word of this bug. Even this bug happens on everyone playing this game with Aviator/Sim it is possible that it will never be fixed because the devs will not know about it.

There are a lot of game-braker bugs in games which were never patched. Of course, this is only extremely annoying bug because the game otherwise is so succesfull.

It appears to me that Anton is reading this forum. I firmly believe that he does know about it. The only question is if he prefers to ignore it or deal with it.

Not so much 'prefers' to as 'can justify it financially'. Patching console games isn't like on PC, it cost cold hard cash, and I don't just mean paying the team to make the patch in the first place they (most likely the game publishers here) also have to pay the console makers to approve the patch and put it on the relevant servers.
So any patch has to also make good business sense.

I wonder if the flipping at 57 bug is on PC and PS3 versions too? If it is, then maybe it eventually will be noticed and hopefully dealed with. I assume that one of the potential reasons why it happens is because the Aviator on xbox360 is not 100% compatible with IL-2.
