Same issues here, not going to lie, it's EXTREMELY annoying, as someone who is new to DCS landing is not something i can do easily without any issues, and when i run a mission and down 4 migs etc, only to need fuel and rearm, i land a bit to hard damage the tires and cannot repair, not gonna lie, it turns me off the game completely.
Some might see it as a small bug, mostly Vet's who have no issues landing, but for newer players this is quite a big bug thats been around for over 2 years, i mean you're charging 80 bucks for a single plane, yes it's got fully interactive cockpit, great, can you at least try and you know, fix game breaking bugs like this? Completely kills the immersion having to respawn a new plane or start mission over.
Not trying to sound overly salty here but 2 years is more then enough time to have this stupid bug fixed.
