Following I try to reduce speed by slipping until I can set combat flaps at ~300kp/h this usually takes a long time and I must not bleed of altitude, otherwise I maintain or gains speed again. When bled of speed to at about 330kp/h I set start-flaps and drop gear at about 220 kph. this usually takes 4 minutes, if I remain on altitude. At 200kp/h I lower landing flaps and try to bleed of altitude, which, with flaps and gear out usually results in an increase of speed. Now its getting complicated, because if you come in with sligthly more than 200kp/h, and engine idle, the crap maintains altitude and uses half of the runway until touchdown, using the entire strip. And dont fricking pull the stick to stall for a 3-pointer. Youll find yourself immediately gaining hight until you really stall and crash land. If you manage to cut speed lower than 180 when reaching die strip, you harshly stall and bolter like donkey on speed. I think the right speed is 190 - 195, but its hard on short strips. It was way easier in 4.10, I never reached the same shorntess as in a 109 but I cant remember the days I needed an entire concrete strip to force her down. About the correct prcedures, I havent found information yet. Can you provide them?

I know exactly what you mean. I've spent years trying to land the FW190 and when the changes came in for it I've spent some further time trying to get it right. jameson just posted a great piece of information... better than what I have seen previously.
Try your next approach with a bit of throttle and see if it changes things for you. I may be wrong but my seat of the pants feeling is that it causes a bit more drag.
