There are only two really fun ways to land

Featured Replies

- One is a beta landing in a Porter : 70 knots in a -20° slope at 2000 fpm 

- The other is one  is  an overhead break landing with a warbird (the Flyingiron Spit' comes to mind) finishing up in a glide

Any comments or dissenting opinions, ladies and gentlemen ?

How people are different. I am having much fun doing Autolands in the 737.

Landing at 2000 fpm is never a fun way to land.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

You don’t touch ground at 2000 fpm indeed, might be bad for your back, it is the final approach 😁

Full IFR approach to minimums in any aircraft

This for sure.  The atmospherics in MSFS are so good that it really is an amazing experience, especially when the cloud bases are such that the runway comes in and out of view just as you're approaching minimums...

Hand landing the Asobo Airbus without any aids. I started that one day 1 of MSFS. Is easy. The Boeing was not, so I don't do that. The BAE 146 is also very easy.

No mention of carrier landing......OP = Invalid

I have the Corsair and am about to buy the Hellcat  so I, of course, thought of carrier landings but this is MSFS we are talking about, there is no moving carrier in the sim that I know of. Not to say bobbing up and down.   And I am not even sure that the static ships have even arrestor cables. I’d be glad if you prove me wrong.

Only if it’s arrested!

After due consideration, I'll go with Flying Iron's Spitfire Mk.IX. A low, fast pass over Chicomick's Duxford, in the MH434 paint job ( tipping the hat to Ray Hanna ), climb to kill the energy, then around the circuit and over the M11 just low enough to frighten the truck drivers, before settling on the grass. Perfect. 🙂
