You've evidently not taken the beast that is the Bi-1 up for a spin! They probably made all else less strenuous, as the little rocket that could is really tough!Always leave yourself a little fuel, as those dead stick landings can leave you just a bit short...

Possably it's because of the changed stall charactoristics, particularily for the 109. Flying closer to the edge is much easier, as it was supposed to be. The real 109's are supposed to have excellent low speed and stall charactorists and the new patch seems to have approached this much better. The modelling of this for the 109 is always difficult because it has the automatic slats that almost no other ac has. The exceptions being other Messerschmitt types and the La5(FN)/7.The bonus of this may very well be easier landings. -------------------- "What we do in life, echoes in Eternity" "Strength and Honour" "At my signal, unleash Hell"

LMAO @ Gonzo.Ok, I won't tell you to .... but you have to. Light tapping at first, and not immediately. Be sure throttle is all the way back by hitting #1 key upon touchdown and raise flaps completely, then pull back fully on the stick. A little careful zigg-zagging helps. -------------------- "What we do in life, echoes in Eternity" "Strength and Honour" "At my signal, unleash Hell"

I hear that Gonzo. Taxiing the thing is just as tough! You have to take WIDE turns as if you use brakes to turn faster, the world turns upside-down. I'll stick to the IL-2. It's a slow beast, but I know how to handle it...
