Landing Tips

I hope its a bug.

I can land He 111 to the streets of Berlin, but I can't stop Spitfire, La5FN and La-7 from nosing at 30 mph (57 km/h). You don't really even need brakes with Aviator, the speed decreases quite well with just landing flaps. I would just like to see this flipping bug be patched. And it is a bug for sure, and there is no way to avoid it. Because of the "flip 57" bug, inspect airfields cannot be accomplished in Sim-difficulty. Landing in the sim is quite fun with other planes though, and I play a lot landing-take off's in training mode (which is the salvation of the game, since no game mode requires you to land and take off really). It would be fun if ammo could be replensihed by landing and taking off at airfield.

Well, if the FM is anything like Il-2 1946, you shouldn't slow down that well with just landing flaps. I'm going to guess that they stop-gapped the no brakes bug by making breaks always active, and that's why you're getting the Spit's and Lagg's pitching, when the He-111 isn't.

Does this 'bug' also happen when you don't pull back on the stick? In 1946 when you'd land a plane somewhere else then on a runway, it would bounce like mad and you'd have a better chance of keeping the nose up by just letting the controls be.

For free flight I use to fly in Simulation mission in tutorial. I start to fly then when instructor ask to "zoom" I ignore it and I fly everywhere in Kent with my Hurricane. I enjoy it landing everywhere, on the street also.
hurricane at 30mph pitch down too, but just a little bit and landings can be accomplished.
