I just flew a sucessfull bombing mission and returned to the same base I left from and it tells me I have ditched. This has happened before....what's the deal?

rpm371, if you are not on pavement when you return to the tower you will "ditch". Succesfull landings must end on pavemnet and not grass.
cheers,

Were you on a runway when you exited? You must be on a runway, taxiway, or the rearm pad when you exit, or else it is a ditch. Simply taxi back onto one of the above if you happen to roll off during landing. Simply landing within the field boundaries is not enough.

If you were on a runway, then I have no idea. I don't think anyone has every reported a problem with ditches messages while on a runway.

Yeah i had a problem with this a couple times a while ago.. Might of been fixed by now.

But i was in an Arado and i hit the throttle and hit .ef at the same time and got the ditch. I didnt hit the throttle on purpose.. Accident, and Both of my tires were on the runway. Has happened 2 or 3 times.
