GunnDawg Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Finally gettin the hang of it. Managed to take off, fly a few laps around the airport and bring 'er in for my first landing. Beautiful isn't she? :thumbup: Screenshot: http://min.us/m2LO7qrRT 1
mmaruda Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I don't want to brag or anything, but I don't get what all the fuss is about. Maybe it's because I got the Mustang past 1.20 when ground handling was improved, but I managed to successfully take off and land on my first flight. Maybe it's due to all the IL-2 hours, or maybe I'm just lucky, but I find landings quite easy, if you do it the proper way. Frankly speaking, I find them a lot easier than IL-2. In Sturmovik, when you are around 160kph with gear and flaps down, the plane is like brick shaking and struggling to stay in the air, while in DCS it's nicely gliding for a three point touchdown. The key thing in my opinion is not to throttle back completely once you are on the ground, but keep it around 1000 RMP and delicately start braking, if you set throttle to idle, the plane starts to swivel (similarly to what happens in RoF). Landing the Black Shark on a farp... now that's challenging! Anyway, congrats on the landing, hope find as much joy in the Mustang as I am getting. :)
