can we get it changed so that if you ditch next to the runway you still get credit for your kills? Had 3 kills but was engine out and rolled off runway before i could get plane stoped so didnt get credit for them.
-
Does it really matter?
-
YES it matters. The game is no fun if you take away the possibility of failure.

Dude if you loose your engine just belly land on the runway. You won't slide off if you do it right.

You got credit for the kills, just not your name in the lights. It's a ridiculous wish. You have to land within the determined boundaries to get full credit. Why is that so hard to accept.
-
Seems reasonable, but part of the fun is that concrete is the determiner. So when you're down some parts and under attack and you land some kills is that much more satisfying,

So I'm comin' in hot.
Oil pressure and fuel level are both near zero.
Half a wing is missing.
This is gonna be close. Is my speed right? Check my list. Have I got gear? Man, this game gets intense sometimes. That runway looks like a narrow target.
Oh wait, I just gotta flop her down anywhere on the field. Oh heck, no big deal then. I thought this game was exciting for a minute.

Yeah, landing a B-26 with no elevators just wouldn't be as hot.
Did I mention I once landed a B-26 with no elevators? :airplane:

i once landed a b26 with no tail. some guy vulched me as i was landing and somehow I ended up on runway :). with no elevators, i have several videos somewhere. but in rl it wouldnt have happened, you would flip and nose dive for a vertical landing.
as for the wish, well you did mentioned ditching on airfield, so the title is misleading therefore you lost all credibility. wait till mr finds out you are misleading people.

maybe for German and RAF aircraft that did not need concrete runways you could land on any part of a field but you need to have wheels down other wise it's a ditch . I would class a landing as being controlled not a belly flop.

Anytime I hear the term "ditching" used with aircraft, I think of a water landing. landing next to the runway should be "landing next to the runway"

its a game and HTC needed to draw a line somewhere. That was landing on anything concrete. It would need no skill to just land anywhere within the base's radius. ditching is anything that is not landing successfully (even in WWII) and that the aircraft is somewhat/completely salvagable in friendly territory.
-
Well said 321.
-
Ditch across the deck with no fuel ONLY (without no damages) could be an exception.
I could get down from the cockpit, take a bit of fuel and use it to park the heavy thing.

I'm not complaining about the rule. Like you said "its a game" . It's really just a matter of semantics. The first time I landed, I wasn't lined up perfectly and came in a little hot. I was trying to bleed off speed, but wasn't able to as fast as I wanted. I was too lazy to go around, but I managed bring her down sfely albeit a little hard. I was suprised when I saw that i had "ditched". That's when I assumed not making the runway properly might not be a plus. Personally, I think you should be accredited with a good landing if the wheels are down and you dont hit anything once on the ground. That's just an opinion..and they make the rules..which is fine by me.

WE ALREADY DO.............

You're wishing for your name in lights......... Totally DIFF.

QFT... Way after the end of the war, the NTSB & the FAA agreed to making the term ditch strictly related to a water landing, however this game we play is using the term correctly.
(even in WWII) and that the aircraft is somewhat/completely salvagable in friendly territory.

/hijack. Saw a great video of a man landing an airplane without using any elevator or aileron input. He relied only on throttle, trim, and rudder. Morale is if it can be done with a real aircraft, it can be done here. Successful landing zones do not need to be expanded.
-
Whoops, can't edit from my phone. Meant "moral"

-1 our runways are big enough
-
The point is not how much they are big.
Situation:
2 kills and coming back at home low fuel but a con find you. He looses the fight and you reach your filed but
fuels is empty and you ditch landing INTO the field.
Result: ditched or good fight after all?
:salute
-
Both! This little complication of ours is simply........ As real as it gets, and you just described why Sir. :salute

Would you say it was a successful landing if an airliner pilot landed his 737 beside the runway as opposed to on it?

wow how easy do you guys want this game to be? If your so hard up to see ur name in lights then type ur name on 200. WAAAAAAAAAA towns too hard waaaaaaaaaaaaaa landing on runways too hard waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez a lot of crying for a bunch of "ALPHA MALES" . God forbid some skill is required or you have to actually work at it to do something in here. wow why dont u go play solitaire or somthing :noid

if that was his only option because of some circumstance and no one was injured or killed..yes I would have to say its a succesful landing.

we always have the option of a runway in AH :)

There is something wrong.
1. Ditching (with only fuel empty) into an airfield --> no message 'you get x kills'
2. landing on the deck with no gear down ---> message 'yuo get x kills'
:O

There is nothing wrong. Touch the concrete an you're fine. I've been in a hurry to land, banged my prop, skidded off the concrete and got a ditch for my multiple-kill sortie. Big deal...that's just the way it is.

So when I successfully slide my 163 into the main hanger on a vBase, it shouldn't be a successful landing?

Being a little hard on him aren't you?
Everything that makes the game harder does not always make it better. Getting back to base with a wounded aircraft is the hard part. Emersion is a great part of making the game fun. Realistic challenges are better than silly ones. Returning to base and landing on the field with a damaged plane, but missing the gray patch of ground by two feet seems more silly than realistic. I think that's why people question it.
You really don;t think there could be an improved version that creates better emerssion and maintains the challenge of a 'successful' landing. Come on, you're the expert/veteran/ guy. You can do better than that. :aok

I once landed a 262 with no tips on either wing. Flying with rudder and flaps only. And landed it. Now thats hard.

Pilot:" good news, Sir, I landed on the runway." CO:" good, now please move it onto the twiddlin' grass so others may land or T/O!" I could go for inside base on grass, but only with wheels down or itza d1t(h

ahh I've done the same in 262.. interesting but not too hard, just alot of planning ahead of the approach.. recently I managed to bring an IL2 with no wingtips from town all the way to base onto a runway.. now that was tricky!. :D

Vinkman, you're a smart guy and you know that in programming and in this case in particular, you have to define the boundaries/parameters in which counts as a successful landing. The boundaries must be defined, regardless of whether that boundary is the edge of the concrete, the edge of the base perimeter or whatever, the boundary must be formed. So regardless of what the defined boundary is, there are two sides to that boundary, unsuccessful landing and successful landing.
What better boundary would you prefer there to be instead of the edge of the concrete? <--- Answer this question please.
Or would you prefer there to be a gray area where if you miss the hard boundary it says SYSTEM: Vinkman almost successfully landed 8 kills but he missed the boundary by 2 feet"

Now that would be great!
Vinkman almost shot down Muzik but [holds up thumb and index finger and said in best Don Adams voice] "missed the kill shot by that much".
Vinkman almost killed the dreaded Chicken of Bristol
Vinkman Almost defeated the dreaded beast of Angor.
Not that you never do...because you do....offer definitive answers to correct the games few faults, but are you really at a loss with this one? simple answer might be 'within the perimeter of the field'. If it doesn't matter for score etc, than I say just just make it more 'realistic.' :salute

Okay so the perimeter of the field... Fair enough. So what if you land 2 feet from the edge of the field? You telling me that 2 measly feet and you don't get a land? That doesn't seem very realistic at all. :D

wait...
you're supposed to land?
I thought that was only an option in offline mode...
