dominique Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 A small video, my third, again shot in the OrbX Samoas. I wanted to stay below 4 minutes this time. The idea is to land a jet on a short runway ! The key is a stabilized approach. The Lotus Simulations L-39, released in 2009 for FSX, flies all right in Prepar3D (except for the strobe lights) and is still one of the best jets out there. The OrbX Samoas are also one of my favorite flying grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSRobert Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 You must have woken up the Ofu villagers landing that L39 there...nice video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Excellent video and some great flying. I wish I could land my L-39 on a short runway like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't you, Martyn ? Flying by the book and practice do it. And don't let that puny runway impress you, large or short, wide or narrow you still use the same space. It is all in your head. Now, I crashed a lot of times before getting the hang of landing on such a runway ! Keep the aircraft speed steady at a little more than 220 kph from the end of downwind while having some power left under the pedal for a go around.

On the plus side, the Albatros doesn't go supersonic ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must practice more but at the moment I am re installing everything back onto P3D which is a slow process the way I do it. I will have to put the L-39 in the queue. Thank you for the encouragement.
