How realistic are F-15C landings?

[Gloom Demon]

Can someone please review the attached track file and tell me if this is realistic.

I have played around with the F-15C, ran out of fuel and have managed to land the plane with no problems whatsoever. If I had attempted a landing like that in the Su-25T the landing strip would be littered with my remains. And this is the second time I even attempted a landing.

 

And two more questions - for some reason I cannot seem to extend flaps while in flight - they extend without problems on the ground, though - maybe there is a speed limit or something?

 

In the track it is visible, that the F-15C was constantly trying to roll to the right - why is that?

 

Thanks in advance :-)

 

P.S. The landing is, unsurprisingly, at the end of the track - everythiong else is just me trying out the plane.

For flaps, you gotta be below ±250knots

Just Ktulu2 said Flaps have a 250kts speed limit and will not come down above that speed. On the flip side if they are down and you approach 250kts they automatically raise. and if you do not mess with the flap switch if you go below 250kts they will automatically lower also.

 

Really? I didn't know they would auto raise and lower. Good to know.

Is the auto lower/raise realistic or is it just an idiosyncrasy of the game?

[GGTharos]

Is realistic. The flap switch will lower the flaps as long as it is in the down position UNLESS the airspeed blow-up switch is activated.

 

Keeping the flap switch in the down position is not a great idea.
