DaveRindner Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Easy to fly, easy to takeOFF, damn hard to land. I keep incurring gear damage. Landing speed between 320 and 340 kph. It 'appears' to me that my vv is within tolerance, touching down at -2 ms. Gear is down & locked with all three lights ON. Or so I think. But gear keeps getting bent. Not a crash, AC rolls down runway, but is difficult to keep straight and gear appears to be bent slightly inwards, with one (or other) bent a bit more. Front gear is OK, but AC has a bent attitude sitting on ground after landing. I am good with this difficulty, as I think that FC3 SU-27, SU-25, SU-25T, and F-15 AFM models are more forgiving on VV and gross weight at touchdown. A-10C is also easy to land. Too easy, I think. Nice experience flying a fast jet without HUD.
xxJohnxx Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I would recommending having a look at this tutorial video: It shows how to land pretty precisely. Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled
