Belly Landings

[Busher]

Seems they modelled alright save for Hurri IIc which will always blow-up.

ive blown up 38 every time ive tried it as well.  not sure what the heck im doing wrong:confused:

[KurtVW]

No probs with the P-38 for me...  Just watch the speed.

[killnu]

speed?  ive been b/n 130 and 180, crashed and burned every time.

KillnU. You have to come in completly straight. If you come in at an angle, you blow up. Have to come in as slow as possible.. Around 100 or so, and keep straight, its do-able.

the vibrations from the impact does not seem to stop in certain situations even if the fuselage seemed to have come to a stop.  It seems to jump up and down and keep on breaking until you explode.  Had this happen several times.  Almost seems like the tiger bug in AH1.

Me163 'crashes' on landing, sometimes so severe that you lose rudder (?).  I know that landing a glider is tough but to take a rudder off?

Beware about losing tailwheel on P51D. The tail becomes the most powerful 'perpetually-progressive spring' you've ever seen and you will eventually end up upside down and dead.

Similarly, landing Lancaster with no tailwheel resulted in full stop but the tail started increasing up and down movement up to crash. Second event was with Niki as I was turning it around at almost zero speed on the field on the side of the runway. Turning seemed very slow like in mud getting stuck, but I continued with gentle increase and decrease of throttle until suddenly I heard  a gear damage sound and the plane went into violent roll resulting in crash. I am fairly sure I did not hit any ground objects but it seems the field grass is not so well tended as it was in AH1.

Still think the hurri is funny- was able to land 163 on its nose and a 262 with the gear up- not straight, and well over 130mph. hurri snaprolls to destruction on any ditch/gear up landing. if anyone can land a hurri gear up, plz let me know.
