You kinda got the landing wrong. You are nowhere near upside down or on fire enough.

Give him a chance, it's a new toy - this time next week he'll have it on fire, upside-down and with undercarriage ripped off.

Payday soon. P-51 worth it?

IMHO, $29.99 would've been a more appropriate price tag simply because P-51
doesn't have much to do when it comes to combat in DCS.

But, it's very nice to fly. Handles nicely, not too twitchy or too heavy, just right.
Even managed a smooth Hammerhead on my first try.

Land- To safely land a plane on the runway and park it.

HunterICX's Landing-attempting to land, but crashing in the process.

Technically, yes, you do land. You get the plane on the ground, but it doesnt survive.

landing
[lan-ding] n. - Aaaaaaaahwblghchscreechblachschwhomp boom.

That's what my dictionary says. I think it's pretty accurate...

Spot on definition.

If i actually try, I can do it without the Aaaaaaaahwblghchscreechblachschwhomp boom.

I have landed correctly in the past. Just, not on full realism. I can land easily in the grass somewhere in IL-2. When it comes to runways, it gets serious.

The P-51 take-off demonstration mission seems to have the right one:
The plane goes straight for about 5 seconds, then veers off the runway and crashes.

Does DCS World store screenshots taken by PrintScreen anywhere in particular?

Excellent!


Short runway is short


Frog Force comes into land, he also finds how short the runway is, and then finds some trucks and then some trees...


Arclight tries to teach me how to shoot things
