I can't land a jet.

[Howitzer]

Learning how to land means , crashing for the first times. You cant be good on the beginning. Just make you you dont piss anybody while crashing them, you can go on an empty server, local network or the training minimod witch is the best IMO.

How do you know you are 1000 m before the runway? (OSrry, i'm new tot his mod), and where can the manual be found?

[M_Striker]

IMO, it's easier to land a jet in PR than in BF2. You can make a rough landing in PR while in BF2 you just crash. All you have to do is make sure when you're about 50 ft off the ground and when you're right in front of the runway, you're going about 500-700 MPH.

Start with the Eurofighter, as its the easiest to land with. I put the airspeed around 750. Keep throttle lower and add speed as neccesary with the afterburner. Then as you get better move onto the F18, then A10, then the F16.

yeh i thried to get some jet brakes http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f18-...et-brakes.html

Okay. Heres my advice.
1. HAVE A JOYSTICK!
2. When I do this, although It may not be great in combat, I slow my speed BEFORE the corner of the map to nearly 800. In combat, this won't work, but for training, try it.
3. Make a squad. But a mover marker on the beginning of the runway, where you will be touching down at(The part you hit first). Once you come around that turn position yourself so your coming directly on to that marker.
4. Kashan only - I like to just barely scrape the fence when I come in. I land right on the edge of the runway and I can't hit the back no matter what.
5. Speed - Your speed when in the turn should be maximum 1000. I like 800 or 900.
Your speed when halfway to runway - In an A-10, 700 is what I like.
Your speed when touching down - 550 I find to be a great speed.
6. Wheels and break - Once all wheels have hit the pavement, move your throttle to whatever 0 is (Frogfoot reverse thrust....). Once you have about 200 speed, pull up on the stick. This will activate your taxi brakes. It is possible to brake before this but not safe or necessary.

Thats all the input I have.
Have fun out there!
REMEMBER - MARKERS ARE THE ULTIMATE LIFESAVER!

What he said. ALSO NOTE: EVERYONE seems to have their own style/ own speed to land with. You have to learn from your mistakes. I always scream when im 50m from the runway wall and im below 730ish. I like to touchdown at about 620-630. First get comfortable landing at about 670-700 in an A-10 or Eurofighter. Then try lowering your speed to 640-660 range and land again. Once you can nail this, you should then try landing F-18/F-16. After practice, you can land like a pro. Landing is truly THE most exciting part of flying an aircraft in PR.

[Army Musician]

I can land, on most maps except, on Qingling, I have a large hill before the runway, and I can touch down, but I have to use the after burner, to get back into the air before I crash.

[Cptkanito]

I have trouble on landing on Qinling as well with the tornado, but i cracked it. All you have to do is come in at 38% ish throttle but blip the afterburners for 1-2 second periods to keep your speed above 800, and dont blip as you come in for the end of the runway and reduce throttle to zero. If done right, you should come in low and have enough time to do a showoff flaring if the aircraft on the runway to come to a stop 1/2 way down the runway. But everyones different, keep practicing and you'l find yours...

[Kruder]

Well if you have read the first post he is complaining about a10,thus no afterburners.

I land just between 850-750 you can also pull back(pitch up) to slow a little bit more(pull back=taxiing reverse) and fire your main cannon in short bursts.I am not sure about the first one but the second will definitely slow u down.

P.S:Its a lot easier to land in 0.8,because throttle responds faster.
