il2crashesnfails 99 Posted February 9 9 times out of 10 when I land off-field the plane pitches violently forward and the prop gets destroyed. Any tips to increase proficiency? below is an ok landing but it was very close to pitching over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptorattacker 646 Posted February 9 If you're going to do an off - field landing then it's normally safer (strangely) to land wheels - up. Get the speed down as low as possible as you come to ground - level and then pitch yer nose up and keep the stick right in yer stomach until you grind to a noisy stop. I know it's a challenge but it really makes no difference wether you're wheels up OR down with a forced landing. It's not as if someone's going to come out and fix you up is it? It just means a long virtual walk home!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCG_BOO 578 Posted February 9 If you consider that youre landing on either soft and loose argucultural ploughed earth or rough plains (both of which will cause the UC to dig in at the very least) then the outcome is (or should be) kinda what your experiencing surely?

Exactly. Unless you are landing on a road then just land wheels up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Lions look really friendly from a distance too....you kinda only see the teeth what you get really really close. The main thing to take from tihs is that your are actually doing really well in the face of well organised and widespread Soviet argicultural practices..... ....that and keep yer wheels up 7 hours ago, il2crashesnfails said: 🤣 I remember in the battle of Britain movie a spitfire was doing the same and a guy came out and fired a flare gun A major rule of online play is that EVERY urgent communication must NOT be acted upon before a protracted line of questoning along the lines of "are you sure" or "do you mean me?" is undertaken. During this time it is imperative that you do not react but instead continue doing exactly what you are doing in the certain, albeit breif, belief that they dont mean you or they are mistaken. A flare is much more likely to result in an "ooooooo....purdy firework" than any meaningful avoiding action 🙂 Edited February 10 by SCG_BOO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

=FEW=fernando11 7 Posted February 11 You can hear the siren go off at 0:26 on the video, its suposed to remind you of lowering the landing gear if you go idle on the throttle... Nevermind! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=FEW=ayamoth89 79 Posted February 11 I've just made these right now! I say that is quite possible to land with migs despite their very big noses because it's the 3rd time I make it through. I usually look for roads that are less bumpy but they have trees.... Anyway is easy to land in any lake and frozen river: Remember that if you are lying in winter 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
