Landing planes? | Forums

[Glimsby]

I've pretty much gotten the hang of controlling helicopters and even planes... except for landing said planes.

Anyone here have any advice on making landing planes easier (or is it simply practice, practice, practice?)?

Yea, coming in at a hard angle is going to be difficult. It will take practice, but like postwick said you need to come in slow. Feather the brake when you make your descent. Also, don't confuse the angle of view with the rudder controls.

Not sure it this helps. If not, we can try and be more specific. If you can't grasp it, and are on PS4, add me and we can go through it.

Good luck.

You have to come in slow and shallow, lined up reasonably well to the landing area

Thank you both for the advice.

Thank you for the kind offer, but while I do have a PS4, I'm playing this particular game on the PC.

Skip to 5:30. Could have done it better, but anti-air was locking on me.

Hold the break when landing. As long the angle is flat, you'll do fine.

I've managed to land by holding the brake/reverse button so the plane stalls and drops, it can survive moderate crash landings and overshooting the runway as well providing you were low enough down, the slow crawl back to the yellow marker,is possible providing there are no large rocks to snag the wings

You also dont have to land perfect, actually you can barely be on the landing strip and the mission will complete once you exit the plane.

give yourself a long u turn sideways to the runawy and aim for the middle of the strip the game is VERY forgiving in the stoping of aircraft,its ridiculous,
it doesnt help that stupid designers places a bunch of obstacles in the front of the runaway like trees,cattle, rebel vehicles and stuff.

Great advice! You all are the best.

My secret is to hold CTRL. The planes pretty much land themselves after that.
