Landing Tips

Yes, they do, but I also find that they can give you so much lift you find it hard to touch down. I think they are best as brakes, then put them back up before attempting to touch the wheels to the ground. Seems silly...but it's a game after all, and not perfect

Whatever floats your boat

No, when I landed I did it the more orthodox way. I didn't really want to take any chances, it being a real plane, and me be a real living person and all.

If your having landing trouble, practice with the po-2. It's unbelievably easy to land, then once you get the maneuvers down you can move on to harder planes.

Most IMPORTANT piece of advice..........

Make sure your landing gear is down

Pfft, that's just a failsafe for noobs. REAL men don't have gear on their planes

Whats the general consensus on sim mode, when you you are trying to slow down after landing, and the plane takes a sudden nose dive and crashes even when you are holding back on the stick. Bug or intended?
