Am I the only one who's missing something?

A male pilot is a confused soul:
He thinks about women while flying.
And thinks about flying when he is with women.…this is starting to remind me of a discussion about Refueling…
Some people had some great metaphors for that also, (It ruined some moments for me still months later) -

@Faman:
Back in the old days playing the original Falcon 4.0 it was common routine to keep the nose up after landing to bleed off speed till the nose dropped down because there was no lift anymore.
In other words to use aircraft as a speedbrake during the landing after touchdown.
It gave a good sense and naturally feeling of landing the F-16.
Now this was and is totally missing since the socalled “Dance” started in 2000 I think. No speed is bled off and the nose doesn’t drop down naturally, instead you have to start wheelbraking immediately like an idiot!
Very unrealistic especially for a BenchMark Sim…Maybe they went into the “numbers” too much but I want the original landing routine of Falcon 4.0 back! Maybe even better then before, improved…
Please-please-stop wheelbraking and use the natural airbrake of the plane instead in a new or next patch.Thank you for your attention!
purely out of interest, how many tires have you blown so far?

75kg and she’s about 175cm. Why’d you want to kn… Oh, wait. :lol:
Damn she’s tall. How big are her radar domes? :lol:

"Damn she’s tall. How big are her radar domes? "
You guys made me lough at work and I had to do some explanations to my wife about it .
Good one -
That’s strange because I joined a virtual squadron over the summer and the first major skill I learned was correct landing procedures, and found out just how long you can keep the nose up and bleed airspeed upon landing. Didn’t touch the wheelbrakes until the nose dropped, well under 100 kts (I want so say closer to 80+kts)
Speaking of radar domes anyone see the Russian Rocket’s wife on Hockey Night in Canada last night??
-
It does seem that the wheel brakes are more robust that aerobraking between 100-80knt in BMS.
If true irl, aerobraking increases the longevity of the brake pack. -
I’ve managed a tail strike while aerobraking at 85kts. The nose looked like it was going to slam into the ground so I pulled back on the stick, evidently too hard, and my nose shot up and tail scraped the runway. I figured elevator authority would be zero at 85kts….

Start lowering the nose Slowly when passing through 100kts. That will keep you from getting this.

I usually do, but this time the nose ran away from me….in both directions

happened to me more than once. good to practice!

FAman brother…in the words of my mentor…CHECK YOUR FIRE!!!CHECK YOUR FIRE!!!..Sound like your coming in to hot….
FYI what i do: start at ramp load up some JUDAS PRIEST…hit the throttle fly like hell has no bound and land like ya mean it.
short and hard…ho ya the best of RAM-it-Down…1998…peace out…NEVER SATISFIED track work toooo… -

Jp has the mg-WoW switch close when aerobraking under 90knt (depending on GW). In WoW on, the FLCS goes from landing gains to ground gain. Pitch rate control is replace with manual control with pitch rate dampening. So the stick become really pitchy.

he works with his wife… there r always some more bad when u think u r on the downside… :lol:
-
At what AoA will you get a tail strike? It’s obviously over 13 degrees…if it said somewhere in one of the manuals i dont remember reading it.
I’ve never had a tail strike on landing but i did once on take-off when i managed to ham-fist the stick back too quickly lol (yes, i’m a dumb ass).
-
I think it’s 15* for a tail strike.

Unconfirmed:
I have a feeling your grossweight influences the angle at with you get a tail strike.
The heavier, the earlier. -

The heavier, the earlier.That doesn’t make sense unless the tail is not in line with the nose, in which case you would have bigger problems to worry about… unless the main gear flexes that much under weight (I thought the F-16 had exceptionally stiff landing gear?) and if that flex is even modeled in BMS.
