Unfortunately these are all tutorials from BEFORE DCS 1.5.6.
As I stated I landed comfortably up to (and including) DCS 1.5.5 .
This would suggest that I am not the complete newbe you take me for.
I bought the Mig about the time it became available. I love it, I fly it regularly. I had some issues with activations - all taken care off.
I am a happy LN customer but: I knew how to land the plane, now in DCS 1.5.6 I don't.
