hi guys, posted this in another thread yesterday i think. Works like a charm evrytime without the yanking of the stick (on the control pad that is)
"finally managed to do that inspection mission (thanks silence!!!)
Ok so the trick to land on sim is to do a soft touch (as any normal landing) with speed between 120 and 150 km/h and throttle at about 30% (faster is possible but can make for quite a bumpy ride and crash).
When both front wheels have touchdown and plane is steady, ease off on all controls (meaning let go of the stick), raise the landing flaps, bring throttle down to minimum (without braking) so the back wheel touches down. Wait for speed to drop to 100 km/h then put the brakes full on and hold them until the plane come to a complete stop. You'll still hit that "bump" at speeds of 40-60 km/h but the plane wont tip over. I've managed to do some quite short landing this way, being able to take off in the same direction on even the shortest runways...rudder being stuck to the left is a killer when taking off again tho so watch out for that
Edit: I usually fly with the aviator settings on the control pad so I have to change it to the wireless control settings whenever i have to land b/c 1st option doesnt offer pecise throttle and braking control"
2nd edit: Using trim on final approach is also a great tool. Trim so the plane flies nose up (2 or 3 deg elevation) and control the rate of descent with throttle.
