One of the first times I piloted a Spitfire in a dogfight I swooped low enough in a stall that I gently grounded the plane: no damage -- just had to exit via the "End Flight" tab. Since then I've had to do a number of landings with no landing gear. So it is, once again.
I took out three 109s before catching up to an escaping Dornier that had gotten away from the Hurricanes. I took out the bomber but its blasted rear gunner did me some damage. Had to belly land again with jammed landing gear.
How are the rest of you doing with landing damaged aircraft?
[I'm getting the idea that you're all bailing out...]

Your Cardinal? I do hope this was an original RG and not your way of making the landing gear retractable. You were
flying
grading with this in CFS... and it wasn't damaged prior to landing?
In my case the Messerschmitts weren't the problem -- nor self-caused aircraft modifications. Bomber tailgunners don't seem to like unschedualed grounding of their aircraft and, evidently, have an aversion to silk.

H,
Yep, it started out as an RG. Silly pilot trick. Should not have been flying but decided that I was running out of time to do a post maintenance check before a long scheduled flight. Made the scheduled flight a nonfactor. Hopefully just solved the last impediment before gaining a ferry permit and taking back to air. Hopefully 851 will be as entertaining as the FSX Cardinal RG I got off Phil Taylor's list - which is quite close.
So now I'm busy confounding things in CSF & CSFII. These both ran sooo well on my various boxes before the advent of VISTA. Except for appealing to the Task Manager to gain control from the fractured screen (which I'm convinced is a threading problem) CSF works OK but the configurator has caught up with me and insists I run it at 1280x1024 when it ran happily at 1600x1200 on the last 2 generations of boxes (1920x1200 on the previous after the monitor upgrade). CSFII seems to have a problem with supersonic Zeros.. I may comment on that thread after I've been embarrassed a few more times.
Thanks lots for your help with CSF.

How dare you scuff up a Spit H! Treason!!!!
Actually in a real Spit there'd be an emergency air bottle to force the undercarriage down for dead stick landings.
Dead stick onto carriers is brown trousers
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Evidently, said gunner burst the bottle; CFS1 does have a "gear pump" option which I definitely tried when my green 'locked down' light didn't come on.

I have the 'gear pump' assigned to the 'p' key so my pants may have been yellow, at the least.
Hey, at least I brought it back with some useful pieces. You're just pitying my mechanics who get taken away from the card table every time I return from a mission.
