Hi all,sometimes at certain airports, as soon as the plane touch down, i find myself under the ground and so FS crashes :-( what should i check when this happens.I use FSGlobal2005 mesh and it seems good but....Thanks in advanceLuigi ;-)

What speed and vertical speed are you hitting the runway at? More likely than not you are busting your gear off...

Hi.Do what I do, which is to hit some trees first to slow me down, then I put the gear down (I didn't want to damage it in the trees)and then, if I've worked my approach out correctly, bounce across the runways and taxiways to the fuel pumps where we can fill 'er up,get rid of the passengers, 'ave a ciggy and then get flyin' again. Yeah, back up into the wild blue yonder:-lol

I shall scratch you off the list of pilots I would ride with, Lemonade Drinker. :-lol Right there with Mitch from my flight school who durring the IFR ground school discussion on IFR Emergencies said, "The only thing you need to know in an IFR Emergency is to roll her over and get it over with quick." Hehe.In answer to the problem though, I have noticed that in some areas with add-on mesh that you do not clip with the visible mesh and appear to sink through it. When you do this, you don't know if what you're sinking through to is flat, or a bumpy clipping plane underneath it thus could be sinking through a flat looking surface into a cliff underneath. I'm not sure of a fix for this issue though. Others may have better information to give you.----------------------------------------------------------------John S.

Hi. Yes, in all seriousness, I wouldn't smoke while letting the passengers off.Ihad some Golden Eagle scenery which I think overlaid the default terrain (which was set lower),and any aircraft would sink through it to the original level.That created a strange effect as you tried to take off where there was no runway and you were underground!!

Yes i think so.It has always happened at some addon airports. Too bad i cannod handle a good workaround..........thanks for inputsLuigi ;-)

The addon scenery then is probably just screwed up.

>Hi.

Hi.I only ever use wet matches by fuel dumps, because I know the dangers.After all these years not smoking it's probably just a comfort thing and it gives the passengers something to talk about as they go through customs :(

Wet matches... I'll have to remember that after my nerves are shot from side-slipping the 747 on in. :-lol----------------------------------------------------------------John S.

Would the 747 side-slip into Juneau's 26 from over the hills? That would be a classic landing of a fearsome sort. On another post (about Juneau)I wrote I 'watched' an AI B377 overshoot and start a go-around so it's obviously an awkward airport to get into by the numbers. Side-slipping might be the answer!

Perhaps you and I can attempt it and compare our results. :-hah----------------------------------------------------------------John S.

I'll have to get sober first:+
