:shock: YOu mean you can land and not have all the parts fly off?

I usually hit the runway at about 300KmH and then switch to outside view and watch the parts fly off. :roll:

Seriously, good advice. The old "side slip" is a tried and true maneuver to lose altitude and not gain speed.

I generally do a "curving/turning" left hand approach for visibility and to shed energy. (Sometimes a really steep turn on final :lol: ) As all of my playing is offline lately, I do this to keep my errant wingmen from taking me out on final. They usually crash behind me. My power settings vary depending on how wild my approach is. :roll: I think the speeds you mentioned should work for all of the 109 series pretty well. I haven't been flying any late war barges lately, but I think your numbers will work for the Ferdinands and Gustavs very nicely.

Well, it seems all my 109's gears were faulty!

Good job sir! ^:)
