For the sake of completeness, I would post (after dozens of frustrating attempts) that eventually found my way to land safely (enough):
  1. Descend on final at a reasonable glide slope, trim neutral (the one you get hitting Shift+Up Arrow) getting descent angle by throttle, stick neutral.
  2. Pointing at runway start, flare when close and GRADUALLY reduce throttle, while keeping aircraft as low as possible.
  3. Let the aeroplane stall and touch down, cut-off throttle and brake at short intervals, keeping alignment with runway.

Only the touch-down takes to me about two-thirds of runway lenght. I'm unable to point earlier since I need runway edges as reference to keep alignment during the very long "floating" time between flare and touch-down.

I posted here just in case could help someone who has problems with landing in 4.11.1.

Curiously, I did dozens of landings in RL with ULM's of five different models; Ok they're not monster with thousands of HP, but are also much lighter and smaller - it's all in proportion, so to speak - and never had such difficulties, like plane bouncing for meters higher than runway for slightly hard touch-down, neither tendency to roll upside-down cutting-off from a 10-20% throttle.
