Hmm, OK so I'm probably coming in too slow.

I think was at about 100-120 mph when I tried this last night - I thought that was about right, how much faster do I have to be?

I seem to be generally having problems with landing anything but a F4U, Dauntless or PBN (PBN's are easy, you can even cut the engines mid flight and just let it fall out of the sky!) because I tried a BF109 last night also and got it to the ground but dug the nose or something in.

I wish I could find some way of easily identifying the airfields (especially one's without proper runways) and the distance I am from them, then I suppose I could work out how far I need to be away to drop 1000ft in a proper glide path before I'm too low or I've overshot the runway (although a method of actually working that out eludes me at this time).

I tend to drop quite quickly in what I guess is a steep short "glide path" and end up either being too slow (and things like with the Mosquito happen) or I overshoot, either way it results in a crash.

I've got carrier landings down so that about two thirds of the time I get it right with the Dauntless/F4U and on land based airstrips/airfields I'm about the same with those planes also, so I seem to be much better at landing the PF aircraft.
