Good job! I'm working on 60-70s jets now and encountered some problems. Looks like these planes are too fast and heavy for my skids. Skyraider, Dragonfly, Bronco, B-52 etc is OK. But some supersonic planes (especially Phantom) is VERY difficult to land safely. When I tried to land a MiG-21, only 1 of 10 attempts was successful. I think that skids should be stregthened, but I don't know how. Maybe "MaxLoadFactor" is responsible for that? Anyway, this may be helpful for you: Vietnam Era.7z

No. But I believe it can be done too.

Hmm... Maybe your landing speed was too high?

Does anybody interested in it? In short words - it's possible, but not easy. Every plane should be reworked and tested. Belly landing without an explosion can be reached by adding a skids under the plane. I already updated my own Korean War install and satisfied with the results. Bad thing is that my data files are heavilly modified and are not compatible with any other mods you can find here in Combatace. I will attach my data inis just to show how this method works. Data.7z Every plane have 4 invisible skids in "Landing Gears" section and every skid is attached to a part of the aircraft (fuselage or engine nacelle, for multi-engine aircraft) using proper SystemName[XXX]. B-29 have 12 skids - 4 under the fuselage and 8 under the engines to avoid the overturn. The "CollisionPoints" of some parts (fuselage, nose, tail, wings) should be checked too. Collision points cannot be lower than "contact points" of the skids or aircraft will explode while landing. That's all, guys. If someone interested in developing this feature - please share your thoughts. PS And many thanks to Do335 for his great Wings Over Korea megamod, mue for extremely useful tool and bunik for beta testing.

Crash landings is possible with invisible skids under the belly. It works pretty well on early jets and props. I think I will make a separate thread about it in "Mods & Skinning Discussion".

Now that's what I call a good landing.

Nice ladies, good planes.

Hope it's positive enough... AC-130 is the best thing that happened to old Herky Bird ever.)

USS Missouri entered Tokyo Bay only on 29 August, 1945. Surrender of Japan were signed on 2 September.

This bloody provocation is a some kind of a combo breaker for a failed, so-called "anti-terrorist" operation in Ukraine, I suppose.
