VSTOL is now possible in Aces high, note that I got a "successfull landing" after this one   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hmmm....thats the way I ALWAYS land...
'course I'm usually on fire, and missing a few more 'user bits'

...and I don't get the successful message thingy, what the heck is that all about  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I wished it would be possible in AH. That would make the diff between real pilots and the pretenders.

Too much brake? It happens! Twice...

Once came in to the carrier with no hook in a Hellcat. I braked and held the stick a bit forward to avoid bouncing. I landed on my nose and stayed there.

Another time, landing a Zeke I tried the same thing (dry landing this time). I died though; flipped onto my back  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif).
