I just made a picture perfect no power belly landing with the P-40 in a meadow on the island of NIIhou. Sure hope someone comes looking for me soon or I will be paddling to the mainland in my little inflatable raft.

 

I have tried this many times before and it has always resulted in a crash and game reset.

O.K., Steve. How the heck did you do that? :lol:   It has always ended in a crash for me. I would not have believed it possible without the pictures. B)

 

Best regards.

Hi Folks

 

O.K., Steve. How the heck did you do that? :lol:

Be gentle Luis.  

 

I had lots of practise in the Icon,

when attempting Gold in the "Landing Challenges",

having forgotten to lower.   :lol:

If at first you don't succeed, try try again!

Good one Steve.

:im Not Worthy: 

This sounds like a great new challenge. A gear-up "belly" landing in the aircraft of your choice! I choose the Cub. :lol:

 

Best regards.

Luis

Good one Luis. After a few more attempts I did it again with the P-40. No go with the F4U, too nose heavy. The radiator scoop on the bottom of the P-51 is a real problem as it was with the real bird in a belly landing.

Why is the camera in the last screenshot in the cinematic view?  Isn't that only available for missions (or the crash sequence)?

 

Edit: Er, oh, it is crashing.  I didn't realize that was the F4U.

Wrecking DXC's planes I see.

Yes, they are the best!

I tried it with the C-46 and it did not end well.

I did it on the runway with the RV about 6 months ago.

Does not the RV-6 have a fixed landing gear?

I did it for real in a glider a couple of weeks, Broke the canopy :-(

Does not the RV-6 have a fixed landing gear?

Woops. I meant Icon.

I’m a little curious Steve; after you succeed in landing the plane did you try to lower the landing gear like you can with Icon?

Thank you :excl:
