Zakk Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Result of my belly landing attempt (on grass parallel to runway, but ended up sliding onto runway, off the end of it and doing 180 at the end) Very NICE; ohhh, and don't even think about cutting across the grass to a runway to take off; you will get stuck and have to call for a tow.

My Fing ID Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I feel lucky. I've landed 2 with no ILS (don't quiet know how to use that yet). Both were shot up, one with the engines pretty damaged and avionics/MFDs out. I only made it to the airfield because I landed the one before lol.

arality Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The first time I landed it went off without a hitch, that is until I was on the runway and had no idea what the key for the brakes were :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafer Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 not so much an attempt at landing but it landed anyway. I was busy trying to locate the NWS to realize I had not fire-walled the throttle and as a result, the airplane fell out of the sky with a spectacular belly scrape. Lessons learned: 1. Check engine RPM during take off roll. DOH! 2. RTFM cuz you may need to know where a particular button is in a hurry. DOH! DOH!takeoff_blunder.trk ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz13 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't know if this bird is just easy to land or Falcon 4.0 was incredibly hard but it took me many many attempt to land in Falcon. This I can do without thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloomstomb Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing in my book! :smilewink: I dont know.. If its strong enough the break the wings off on a landing, its probably enough to cripple a man for life. Im afraid there wont be any "walking" going on here.

Depth Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I usually clip the edge of one of the wings and lose the hatch covering the nosewheel but 4 out of 5 landings usually result in nothing more than a very silent control tower and a perfectly useable aircraft. Does anyone know how to compensate for the aircraft getting unusually sluggish and going all over the place at the lowest altitudes?

Pyroflash Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Try to keep your speed around 150 kts to final. When you get lined up within a half mile or so, deploy speedbrakes to slow down for the runway. The increased speed should help you in slow flight. Also, in order to control your aircraft better, you should try flying the aircraft with a speed of around 130 kts to get you used to it. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenra Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Falcon was tougher bird to land for sure. This one handles pretty damn good imo. The A-10C does handle very nicely, but I would like to think that part of why we may be able to shoot approaches so well here has at least something to do with all those thousands of Falcon landings...

Depth Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've flown with only one loadout so far to get the feel of the craft before adding variables, on the free flight mission. Takeoff from Sukhumi runway 30 and land at Senaki runway 09. Once I get on the final approach my aircraft gets extremely sluggish and often starts going a bit sideways as I approach the runway. This always happens at speeds from barely above stall (120 knots) to 200 knots to 300 knots (yep, I once tried diving onto the runway, lost more than the front wheel) Wind at 2 metres per second, is that enough to make an impact?

Pyroflash Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 a crosswind component might skew your aircraft, but in terms of making it sluggish, I don't think so. Maybe you are talking about flying in ground effect. It can improve your lift somewhat. Also, have you disabled the SAS on final? If not, try it. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard I should disable the EAC (which I keep forgetting) but haven't tried the SAS, thanks, I'll try that :) Should I keep SAS disabled for takeoff as I'm having the same trouble getting off the runway as well, though only minor issues I did a quick flight on air start (free flight) and am attaching the track to the post. Everything goes well untill the landing where I'm suddenly thrown miles off the runway. Coincidentally, this was my first flight after adding a curve to the joystick. Amazing how much easier it is keeping stable :thumbup:Landing(Depth).trk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I hate landing with combat damage, mostly because I always forget something important. The last one I only had one hydraulic system, and I forgot to disengage anti-skid. The anti-skid system bled PC1 dry and I flew off the end of the runway going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and crashed into some truck.
