from over just head over the sea (towards france), as you get closer the map opens up and france becomes visible.

Though hard to land on as you dont have any shadows in france for some reason so its hard to judge how low you are when landing.

Bottom right of map, really short landing area cause it forces you to turn around.

In regards to updates/sequals/dlcs will there be an increase in playable areas? Also, does the existing DLC add a new area?

existing DLC offers no new multiplayer areas, just 2 new planes and a few single player missions

Would be so good if you could cause componant failures to practice landings and such like in FSX!

I have yet to try and land in the streets.. I need to put that on my "to do" list. However, I have landed on the pier in the port of Dover, as well as landed on the wall around the port (almost didn't get stopped before hitting a lighthouse though). Now, I guess I need to hit the streets..

A new mission..

Everytime my engine gets shot black I like to practice dead stick landings in combat conditions! The best part is you can usually watch the other team crash trying to take you out. I even got lucky on time and managed to get a kill as someone over shot my dead plane. They need an achievement for dead stick kills!!

Ok.. Now, I join club "Streets of Fire". I landed on the streets of Berlin..

I think they should figure out how to score unconventional kills. I actually get lots of un-official kills by scraping my enemy off my tail by making them crash. but there is no way to prove that, or score it. Since I don't do well behind the guns, I have crashed countless foe by out flying them. I have crashed I don't know how many enemy on my six into the cliff sides, into towers, building, and of course the ground. I take the low road on most occasions, in many cases, in double digit altitudes only to hear the guy on my six to burst into flames behind me. A kill is a kill, and it stops the bullets from zinging over my canopy.. hehheh..

I landed yesterday my A20-G Havok a bit too hard on a road in Dorset. I broke off the 2 rear landing wheels but my nose wheel was still on. Full throtle for another attemps and i actuall menged to A** land that bomber. i draged it across the ground and i diden't blew up. I stoped, looked for any damage and used all my WEP to get in tha air! I took off with only a 124MPH! that's the best i did so far. I also manged to land down a shot up ME who's engine stopped working and glided it down to earth.

So yeah, after 35 crashes or more, i finnaly can say that i'm an expert on Crash landings! LOL

I've landed all over the place on maps, watched the tanks fire, taxied round army camps admiring the detail of the vehicles and equipment.... even down to an authentic Whermacht tank engine hoist.

I find landing far easier from the cockpit view for some reason. Perhaps 3rd person make me over compensate when I don't need to.

The easiest plane to land is the PO-2 "Sewing Machiine" with the I-153 and I-16 due to size.

The amount of unneccessary detail, just their for the hell of it, is amazing..... even the trees sway in the breeze.
