Me 262 problem
« on: October 04, 2005, 01:44:32 PM »
I can land any plane in Aces High well, but not tha messerchmit 262 or the 163b. I line up with the runway perfectly, get the plane on the groumd, but then i can stop...................

Please help me, is there any air brake on the me 262, because I can't stop with the wheel brakes.

Thanks.

Make sure you throttle back. Also try turning engines off then braking. It can take a long time to stop because often times the 262 is going so fast.

Practise carrier landings with land based planes :D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

land the 262 slow, well bellow 200mph then just hit brakes as normal.

Full flaps, gears out bellow 250mph. Tail slide her in (full rudder and opposit aileron and keep her straight, will slow you down before landing). Then just put her down when she doesn't wanna stay in the air anymore.

on top of turning off my engine at or just before touchdown, I dump my flaps 100% and at roughly 75 mph I pull back on the stick.  I try to get my   plane as dirty as I can.  for most planes if you pull back on the stick, you will lock your rear tire, this in turn will keep your plane strait.

Wilbus said it already, what you need to do is pull a "slip" while descending in to land.  As he said, put your rudder full over to one direction and the ailerons to the other, crossing the controls to create as much drag and downforce as you can.  This will slow you down drastically and is usually all I have to do to get the jet slow enough to land easily.

As a side note: Do NOT land the 262 at 200+mph. Slow down to 160-ish if you want a good chance of a safe landing (and those perks usually warrant a little caution).

If you're going 200+ you're going to be off the runway on the opposite side parked in a tree missing 2 wings and a tail and you'll lose any flight certification your control tower may bestow upon you :P

I heard engines off give more drag; haven't tested it for myself, tho.

You'll need to do some throttle adjustments when doing this though, the problem with the Me-262 is that it doesn't give direct power unlike the prop-planes

With prop planes, you firewall the throttle and it immediately delivers the needed power, the jets take some time for this

The spool up and spool down times are slower, yes. I think this is true even of modern jets.
