Gear up landing
« on: October 19, 2016, 10:47:36 PM »
Getting very frustrated with gear up landing situations ending with me getting killed. I had 0 issues landing under 150 true airspeed in AH2.  AH3? Good luck, blow up 7/10 times .

I havent had that happen? I do however tend to need to go around for geardown landings! Shorter runways I guess? I usually just retract gear on a bounce. But havent gotten killed below 180. Is it maybe in a particular plane that this happens? I am no expert here, you are a long time player,so just suggestion

I agree, this isnt happening to me to the point where I notice, but we fly totally different planes.

Any one in particular you have it happening in?

The instance tonight was is in the 190A8 w/ the rockets that explode in air. Funny you say you pull your gear on a bounce, this is exactly what I did in the a8. Other instances were in a ta-152, 190D9, and La-7. 190 series seem to be the most common denominator here.

Also I have heard trying to ditch on water just blows you up aswell.

I will check out 190s and landing on my end. It could be just a lag in refresh rate? Figure it could be the same as watching some players looking like a crash only to zoom back out of the ground :bhead Maybe you could be faster than it tells you in real time?

Ndisles? Because it was bugged on this map for some planes at least until last week, along with the inability to ditch in water. HT knew about it.

Lag has nothing to do with such things, as you don't do the landing on a server but on your own computer. What others see from you is irrelevant.

I can't say this has happened to me, unless I was pulling over 150 or dipped my nose down at the wrong time. I typically fly a Spitfire, Yak, or Nik, and I usually slide right down the runway at 150 or less, so I can't speak to the outcome in a 190. :headscratch:

It's happened to me twice trying to land in water, going at least 130.

Here's a thought...put the gear down. If it's broken, get that speed at or below 100. I've had no issues dumping busted planes in on the runway.

It depends on the map. On most maps you can ditch, on at least one, possible two it's broken. It's a map bug that can't be fixed by getting even slower.

Sorry, with a pilot wound soon to kill me, I decided a gear down landing might end up with me dying.

Knowing what I know now, it obviously didn't matter because I died anyways.
