The planes are too hard to land on Sabrada

[raid]

It's Really easy to land, if your trying to land at fulll throttle and facing your nose down until it's -15 to 0 than thats hard
easy way: press delete to lower speed than your plane will slow down and go down at -15 to 0 if its less than -15 increase throttle

[bart]

I wouldn't say it's really easy (at least not for me). I would say that it is "possible".

The biggest problem is the bad (by which i mean terrible) camra angles
...




and the crap controls

[zaroba]

could always hit f1 to go in the plane.

i guess landing 'could' be considered hard if your just trying to land in a specific spot on the map.

[Toxick]

had anyone f u tried planes 4,5 and 6 on planitia? with plane 4 the lowest speed aviable is about 150 mph its impossible to land with this

i am a fan of simulation games,and i found that flying planes in this game is really difficult.it is not a simulator,so the flight model not must be realistic,but must be more playful and handable.

[theseer]

flying planes is easy , realism would make it more hard

[Ghelna8]

The quest for realism has made landing planes both difficult and unrealistic. I suggest removing the vertical speed limit or make it really high.

planes haven't changed ever... since i've been playing.
and vsi is world owner settable
and its easy.. people just give up prematurely.

Zaroba, follow the advece my town has given to me and CRAM IT! ive seen the same thing. some one said they landed it perfectly, half a second after they got blown to bits. some people think that it doesn't go on the chat, and u probably don't check it. I MAY BE A NOOB, BUT AT LEAST IM HONEST!

by the way, u don't have 2 watch them land a plane, them crashing is displayed on the chat console as " (insert name here) got blown to bits. weather or not this is related to someone shooting them doesn't matter, just watch what they say!

[theseer]

i have no idea what your talking about.. all he said was its hard to land in a specific point.

[zaroba]

what, you think i'm lying? you think that just because its hard for you, its hard for everybody? i've got news for ya. not everybody in the world is exactly the same as you. don't ever accuse me of lying. i never lie and am strongly against it

i think landing in general is easy. all you have to do to land is hit delete to lower your speed and then the up/down arrow to make your vsi -10 and just glide to the ground. nothing else, and i find that incredibly easy, heck, its just a few key strokes. all it takes is time, patience, and practice. most people crash because they fly to fast or rush to the ground because they don't wanna take the time to land slowly.

if you don't believe me that i think landing is easy, then fine, next time you see me in game i'll prove it to you. i'm nearly 100% sure i can land any plane on any world without crashing. why? because i start at over 200 alt, hit page down to lower my speed, hit the up/down arrow to set my descent at around -10, then just sit back and wait for the plane to touch down.



now, if you wanna try and land in a specific spot on the map, thats a pain because you have to calculate when to start your descent depending on how fast and how high you are.



as for the landing then blowing up part, this is related to landing fast.
if you land at full speed you can bounce back up and if you attempt to stop the bounce by slowing down fast or pointing down fast you will usually hit the ground too hard and blow up.

ive landed v15 on sabrada and its retively simple (but not alwayse succesful) what you do is throttle down till ur vsi is -15 to 0 turn your ship the vsi should drop below -15 so re adjust the thottle of your plane as soon as its at a steady number between -15 and 0 just relax untill it lands ive also landed the bomber biplane i never bothered to buy as for the others i have yet to try
this is a really good technicue to land in a chosen area if your skeptic and u see me online ask me to demonstrate and ill try to and as i said before this DOSE NOT work all the time but it DOES work sometimes

also if u absolutely cnat land at all for some freak reason crash your plane then switch into another vehicle if you can stand the look of your vehicle being on fire u cna just drive (or walk) around untill uve done what you wanted to and return to the crashed plane wich will then repair as normal

[swtvi3txtcboi]

how bout we just bring back the UFO...missed that thing....could flip forever and never crash or maybe reintroduce hot air balloon or sumthing like that which isnt very fast but can land vertically without blowing up yes yes??or no no?

[NeoCat]

feh i hated that model

[Ghelna8]

With ll of this complaining, you would had thought that Jemrada would had increased the vsi by now, which would be a better solution.

[Kirby]

Wha? Seems like Jem did an adjustment that make it even more easy to land and you want vsi upped?

Seriously people if a game had no diffuclty,what would be the fun in playing it?

Cheers goes to Jemrada for listening in on what you all have to say about landing planes on his planet. If he were to stick to what he had when opening sabrada during this term I wouldn't Mind. It's His world,He chooses what do with it.

[swtvi3txtcboi]

ill say it one more time UFo and hot air balloon so even the noobest of noobs can land lol

[Mike512]

y complain about this just practice like GK said "practice makes perfect" so y complian and if you ask some one for help and then complain about it is stupid

[zaroba]

was just on sabrada and easily able to land each plane except v11 on the first try with about -10 vsi each time.

v11 on the other hand....jemrada needs to set a drag for it
tried to land it and the speed started sky rocketing.
