:airplane: You and I both know that it's all about speed management! Most guys who know nothing about flying for real, have little chance of learning, unless they spend some time learning the fundamentals of flying!

Yep!  Zactly my friend.

  That's why I'm here to help players learn those fundamentals!


  The problem I see is that both new and old players seem hesitant to come to the TA and ask for help,that and this is a game and meant for fun and it's not always fun learning the basics but I try to make it fun and keep it simple!

  Many players come and say they need help with shooting and aiming,only to find out that it's not their shooting but it's how they fly that's causing the issue.


  As for landing the 262 or any plane,most players fly the plane in with their stick,instead they should use throttle to adjust rate of descent.This allows them to use a slight back pressure on the stick and they are less likely to prang the prop!

  I'd like to add that you dont have to be a trainer to help players,just need to be willing to help and hopefully know what you're talking about.....unlike me..... :o

:airplane: "Sorry", but the kerosene burner doesn't have a prop! But that is OK, we will get HT to add one!
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

 Earl,

  HT owes me a favor so I'll ask him to add the prop next update!


    Maybe you missed where I said"or any other plane."

Does anyone have the book Messerachmitt Me262 by Radinger and Schick?

In it is a diagram of the landing pattern flown with text in German.

The downwind leg is flown ~2km off the runway slowing from 350kph (landing gear lowered) to 300kph. I think it says flaps lowered 25 degrees before the turn (~3km from the runway) which is done at 280kph. Coming out of the turn the a/c is doing 230kph. About 1000m from the runway the a/c should be at 30-40m height above ground, still at 230kph. A 100m from the runway the a/c should be at 10m height.
