The key to a splendid landing is to manage your descent with your THROTTLE.

You will want to come in at a slow speed and a low rate of descent, because the opposite – a high speed and rapid rate of descent – is what makes for spectacular crashes. The main things to consider are AIRSPEED and RATE OF DESCENT.

Landing is a lot more than pointing your nose at the field and plowing down, hoping for the best.

And while you are at it, why not make it a nice professional landing instead of an ugly prang! You will want to land your aircraft for one single reason: to harvest points earned in the mission so that you may gain rank and access to better performing aircraft. Retract flaps (W) and raise the undercarriage (G).

If you used WEP, remember to toggle it off (F8).

Shortly thereafter you will gain takeoff speed and “rotate” with only a small amount of back pressure on the stick. At first it will be jittery and hard to control, followed by a period of stability and leech-like behavior.

Roll three quarters down the length of the field and feel the aircraft.

You may want to push the stick very gently forward to help the nose along in the beginning of your takeoff roll, as this will reduce the yawing and rolling motion described above.

As you start to pick up speed the nose will come down (in so-called taildraggers, aircraft with tail wheel) and reveal the runway in its full glory.

Counteract this rolling motion with a touch of opposite aileron: move the stick gently to left or right depending on which way your propeller rotates.

You will also experience a sickening tilt in the horizontal (i.e.

If you do not have the benefit of rudder control, use short taps on the appropriate brake (z and x) to correct your course.

if you yaw left, tramp down (or twist your stick) to give right rudder – be careful of overcompensating though. Counteract this yaw by adding a smidgeon of rudder in the direction opposite to the yaw motion, e.g. Your aircraft will display a more or less pronounced tendency to swerve either right or left – this is engine torque at work. Go through the routine bulleted above and start your takeoff roll by releasing brakes. All of this takes no more than 30 seconds and will save you a ton of grief compared to smashing into hangars and trees time and time again. Once there, brake gently with unlocked tail wheel to slew around with the whole field before you. Lock your tail wheel again with / key and motor gently forward to the selected spot. Now tap the brake, z to turn left or x to turn right, until you face the desired takeoff position. Knock the throttle forward just enough to set you rolling, edge out of the hangar and unlock your tail wheel (or nose wheel if your aircraft has tricycle gear) with / key. Hold brakes (z and x) until the engine is running at full boreīeing careful and smart however, you elect to taxi out of the hangar to the perimeter of the field.Select War Emergency Power (F8) to give maximum takeoff boost.Set engine RPM to maximum (hit ‘ key twice).If you persist in taking off straight off the spawn-in position, make sure to: FW-190, H-87), aircraft that need a wee bit more time and real estate to achieve proper takeoff speed. This is especially true if you sortie a medium bomber or a fighter with particularly high wingloading (e.g. The itch is strong to power up and take off immediately, and while this is possible in most cases it nevertheless makes good sense to start your mission by taxiing to a more propitious position. As you spawn into the game world you will find yourself facing an altogether insufficient stretch of runway.
