August 31, 201411 yr Flying always with 747 FSX with or without FSPX. Whatever I try, belly landing (no gears) seems to be impossible. Every time I try it, full flaps just above stall speed, slowly descent, tail first, then engines and then: sinking into the ground, and crash, same on concrete, grass or water. Vertical speed always still above the tricky 200 ft/min and crash again :( When you have some time left I'm happy to learn. Maybe some MP session within fsx sharing aircraft? tia
August 31, 201411 yr Are you joking? Real pilots don't do 'belly landing' in a 747, why would you practice 'belly landing', this is not a crash simulator this is a flight simulator. Michael J.
August 31, 201411 yr When making a belly landing try to have your rate of decent at almost zero but belly landings don't work in FSX as its crash detection sucks ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
August 31, 201411 yr ....you know you have landed gear up when it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.... FSX is a great platform to practice emergency procedures. I would recommend practicing first with something smaller like the Real Air Duke. Turn off crash detection anyway, as David says it sucks, better to just use Real Air, A2A...etc great damage modelling.

September 3, 201411 yr Author @z06z33 & pilottj tnx for your suggestions. I'm quite able to handle a lot of emergency procedures, it's just the landing when gears are damaged and wont extract, still practising, TIA
September 3, 201411 yr Author Did some (more) research. The problem with the unrealistic FSX belly landings can besolved by adjusting the aircraft.cfg file.To avoid sinking into the ground (or water) just add some extra (crash/float)) lines inthe contact points section.The only problem is to determine the exact points Working on it.
