Many planes are almost impossible to bellyland. The planes in question land normally gear up, but at the moment they come to a stop they will start flipping madly and blow up. The Mosquito is the worst example of this. I loved the way AH2 gives you better chance of survival when you hit the ground unusually hard, but this spoils the fun.

There's a lot of reports of this stuff. We're looking into it.

pyro.. in case no one mentioned it, a 190d with a missing tail wheel can land... but as soon as it "stops" fully, the nose starts bouncing up and down, then the wings rip off, then you eventually explode.

i have onyl experianced this wiht a shot off tail wheel (which has happened 3 times last week suprisingly LOL)

just an FYI.

does that on alot of planes - il2 does it...thinking lancaster might had a reall rough landing last night in it.....tailwheel got damaged on approach - not sure how, was low...but don't think I put it in the trees.

OMG lol i laughed my bellybutton off and nearly pissed my pants (had to go potty real bad) when i landed my lanc after a 109 shot off the tailwheel. landed just fine then i stopped and i thought my lanc had hydraulics......and if this were my pimpmobile i wouldnt have minded but eventually all that was left was the cockpit.
