Landing the Mosquito?

It's OK but nowhere near as good as I've seen Freetrack or TrackIR and quite often just ends up being a pain in the proverbial

But excuse me for being a bit hard of thinking - where in the controls menu would I set the controls that you describe?

You don't need TrackIR for landing. You need it for locating the airport. Once located, and once you're roughly lined up, switch to wide view and make landing happen. Start in an altitude of 500 or 600 meters, flaps down, gear down, speed not exceeding 240 kph, distance to the airfield about 1 minute. Watch your climb/sink indicator. It should be between 2 and 3 feet per second on your approach (maintaining a speed of about 200 kph), then when you're 'over the fence' and in an altitude of 30 to 50 meters, level out, loosing some speed (down to 170 or 160 kph) and reducing your sink rate to between 1 and 0 feet per second (the less, the better for a smooth landing).
