no because this doesn't happen to me Roll Eyes

...anymore! when i first started flying FS, this happened to me all the time. it's crap when you are flying a long flight...and when it's finally time for some action, you screw up! i think this motivated me every time to retry and learn how to fly perfectly...now i can land everything anywhere...and that's fun!

Yeah, I recently made the most beautifull belly landing with a DC-3.
Evidently, I accidently I hit the landing gear button (also mapped mapped to my joysick) shortly before landing.

Home airports are KMGJ and KSWF in Orange County, NY&&Stop by and say hello.

Well, you could claim to have made a picture-perfect emergency landing because your gear wouldn't lower. Wink

Seen it happen in real life once, guy in a glider forgot the landing gear. Only one wheel there, nevertheless he forgot it.
Got a huge claim from his passenger's healthinsurance that was in there with him that day. Back problems.

Ain't it funny how good men feel real shame, when virtually messing up?

Yeah, but as you can see from the pic, it made a terrible mess of the paintwork Grin

That may be a good landing, but great ones are better, as they can use the plane again Grin
