Ditching a P47...
« on: August 02, 2005, 03:35:16 PM »
not sure because i havent tested it much, but last night 2 times i took a p47 D11 with a dead engine in for a ditch on the runway...

the 1 time i was about 170 when i touched down, i was missing a rudder too, s i couldn't slow as much as i'd like, instant boom when plane touched the ground.

the second time i was able to be a bit more cautious, and came in about 90-110 (a bit hard to read accuratly sometimes on my FE) and same deal. i had a damaged right wheel, thats why i went for the "ditch", but no go. as soon as it seemed to touch the ground, boom into tower.

is it possible the bug that caused the p51 to not be able to ditch is in the P47 D11 also?

i'll test it more myself tonight if i remember LOL ;)
