I have a BIG problem with landing.
When I go down with about 80 mph and gears out I touched the ground and kind of make 3 or more summersaults (forward flibs)
can ANYONE help? I tried everthying and did everthying as described on the website.
practice offline first. when you've chosen the runway that you're going to land on, fly paralellel to it at about 1,000 ft alt. by midfield, be at about 150-160 or so. as you pass the end of the runway, reduce throttle a bit, and deploy 1 notch of flaps if she starts to feel mushy. you can allow her to start descending a bit too. i like to be about 700 ft alt when i turn base. wait for it to be about 45 degrees off your wing, then turn base, continuing your descent. at about 500 ft alt, turn final. at this point, you should be about 500 ft alt, and about 125 or so speed.(and you can continue deploying flaps as needed, but never full flaps this far out)now, you place the aim point(use the end of the runway since there's no numbers on em)in the middle of your windscreen, and keep it there. adjust your throttle as needed. in this configuration, your power seting controls your rate of descent, and your attitude settingcontrols your speed.as you approach your aim point, slow down to about 100(i generally cross the threshold at this speed) with full flaps. as your aimpoint goes under your nose, lift your nose to level, and hold alt. you may need to work the throttle a bit to keep it soft. now focus your attention at the other end of the runway, and reduce throttle to idle. as you let her settle in. if you did the descent right, you should've only been about 10-20 ft alt when you crossed your aimpoint. as you;'re trying to hold alt, you're lifting your nose, and this is helping you lose speed, and she's still slowly descending. as you approach stall speed, you'll hear the buzzer, and should at this point gently touch down, then work the wheel brakes(but hold back on the stick to prevent ground loop). it takes practice, and once you've gotten used to this, you can eliminate the pattern, as that'll get ya killed in the MA's(that's why i told you to practice this offline.)use the practice mission to help ya. after you kill the AI, it warps you back into the field pattern.
this is actually how we land cessnas, although the speeds in them are considerably lower than here(i cross the threshold at about 50-60ktias, and hold her in the flare till she stalls into an almost perfectly silent landing)
hope this helps some!!!!!!
