I recently downloaded the Tiger Moth & Waco Float Planes from the File Library here & find that on nearly reaching touchdown the planes suddenly snap to 500 feet up with a repeating cycle if i persist in trying to land. I don't have this problem when touching down at an airport or when flying FS 9 Planes[eg Cessna Amphibian]. As a newbie please offer any advice in "baby language"-i need all the help i can get-thanks.

Not certain if his is your problem or not, but you may be crashing trying to land in a strong crosswind. Check the wind direction, land heading into the wind and see if it still happens.

Shed Dweller,You need to adjust your 'reality' sliders further to the right.Whats happening to you is that the program is detecting a 'crash' situation and because the far left postion is only for 'gamers' is why your sea plane is refusing to land.Us 'Simmers' fly with all the reality sliders far right, right?Dave T. .........On the lovely warm Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/

First of all i would like to thank the 2 flightsimmers that replied. Unfortunately it didn't help but the good news is that i found the answer by going into Settings-Realism & clicking Detect Crashes & Damage instead of Ignore. Cheers:-wave
