Title: Ditching = insta death
Post by: Octavius on June 24, 2004, 01:09:05 AM

Not sure if htis has been brought up before, but I haven't been able to perform a gear-up landing in P40s, 190A8, F4Us, and many other aircraft.  Airspeed is usually around or below 100 IAS and I attempt to set them down as gently as possible.  This also happens when breaking your gear from "hard taxiing" or a hard ground loop.

I posted on the A-8 a few days ago. Any belly landing = insta death.

I've ditched P40e more than once, on one occasion even ditched inverted no probs.

Also ditched Fm2 and F6f at sea no probs

I did a no wheels landing on the runway in an A-20 last night. It was starting to bounce after I stopped,  but I managed a successful landing.

P40E inverted, heh yes I've tried that already ;)  Had some kills to land and I knew one broken gear meant death.  It worked,

I haven't been able to belly land a P40E since it was first enabled though.  Silly request, but if you happen to do it again, film it for me :)

Did a few quick sorties offline and I cannot ditch the followoing:

P40E, P40B, 190A8 (all other 190s = OK), Ki61, Hurricane MkI, IIc, IId, Mosquito, Yak9T, Yak9U.

there are others, but I dont have time to test them all yet :)

Like I posted before, ditching is more messed up than just making you die.  Usually, if you survive the ditch, the plane will sit on the ground and rock back and forth very fast from wing to wing forever.

It looks like some kind of physics problem.
