Delta6Actual Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I've always been a fan of the Mirage F1. Just recently downloaded both versions from this site. I have found that this bird is damn near impossible to land without destroying the aircraft. It seems to want to take off even with brakes and speed brakes, after setting down. I don't know if I am landing too fast or too slow. P.S. is there an accurate F1 cockpit available for this model? Quote
prowler_14 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 maybe that´s the reason you are crashing the bird. i got no problems with landing this beauty. i think there is noch accurate cockpickt available at the moment. you can take one of the mirages, but i think the one of the SuperEtendard is the one which is the closest to the original. just the air-to-air-radar is missing.

Guest Sony Tuckson Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 the new model will have its own dedicated cockpit and I haven't have any problem landing the available one....what mode do you fly? Quote
+Brain32 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) the new model will have its own dedicated cockpit Wow, I wasn't aware of that, great news BTW I fly F1C-200 VERY often, and expirienced no troubles landing Touchdown at about 300km/h a bit rough and dirty but that's just my sloppy tehnique, no problems in general...

Delta6Actual Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 I have all of the flight settings on the hardest level. I'm flying both the F1C and the -200. When the main gear touch down, I keep the stick back to bleed off some speed while I pop the speed brakes. What happens next is this, the nose wheel touches down, bounces real hard, the plane lifts off, pitches up and to the right, and rolls inverted on its back. I let the autopilot land the plane one time and it has it landing at 143kts or somewhere in that ballpark. Maybe I'm coming in too hot. Also, with the plane on the ground at the beginning of a mission, the plane bobs up and down at the nose wheel. Otherwise I love blowing stuff up with this plane. Nice to hear about the new version coming out. Looking forward to that! :yes: Quote
Guest Sony Tuckson Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) very strange I will reinstall the old models to check anyway some preview of the new kid on the blocks....with a rather exotic skin. Edited October 25, 2007 by Sony Tuckson Quote

Silverbolt Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 marrocos Skin! cool! i want this new one,very beautifull! Quote
+NeverEnough Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Wow, that looks almost as good as the blonde in a flight suit in the F-35 thread! Quote
Gunrunner Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 There are a few versions out there with strange values for drag and landing gear (which might fit the problem described), either reinstall from another copy or compare the values on your copy with the suggested bugfixes HERE. But hopefully the new shiny version will be out soon-ish. Quote
Caesar Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Delta6, what's your descent rate? If you're going 120 knots but dropping at 2000ft/min the landing ain't gonna be pretty... Quote
Delta6Actual Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 Well, I tried the fixes suggested by Gunrunner, and it turns out they work. Thanks Gunrunner. To Caesar, I shoot an almost airline like approach. This time it was the plane and not the pilot. Thanks for the responses all! Quote

+Gepard Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I have never had problems with landing the F-1. Landing speed around 250 km/h. At higher speeds the landing becomes a little bit difficult. Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 The new one is gonna be fun. Still fun running around in Madagascar with this. Quote
