OK I've tried putting into practice some of what you guys have said and I still can't get the Mosquito to land.

Here's a short vid of what I'm doing and what's happening, starts in the cockpit, then there's an outside view of it all.

Map is the Korean war map (the runway west of Seoul is nice and visible).

Vid -




Basically I seem to get to about 100ft and the plane just drops out of the sky and crashes!! I appear to be descending far too quickly. The plane is very unresponsive at this point however, as soon as I slow down it becomes rather unresponsive and keeping it at any sort of level at around 120mph so I'm not dropping like a brick is almost impossible?!



So what am I doing wrong?


I would try coming in from further away at 1000-2000ft but I'm afraid of ending up too short and not reaching the runway!

I would also try trimming the plane but my trim controls are limited to either the hat switch on my flight stick (Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X), the keys on my keyboard numerical keypad or my mouse wheel - and none of those are ideal as by the time I've got the plane trimmed to any decent fashion I've spent 5 minutes doing so due to constantly having to correct the trim up or down and then conditions change so I have re-trim!!
