How do I land any plane with the main wheels being the first to hit the ground?
I want to know how because this video amazed me. By the way, you can use that link to help you understand what I'm talking about. No, I don't specifically want to land the C-130 Hercules.
By the way,
-Main Wheels are the wheels in the back of the plane.
-I think its nearly impossible to land a plane like so because you dont press a key to open/close the throttle more; you hold a key.
Sorry for not using the list feature. I didnt use the list feature because I dont know how.

By the way, you can see my question as a comment on that video.

I'd suggest tapping the key, but that may not help too much in the case of planes with absolutely no wheel momentum like the minijet. In that kind of case, I'd recommend slowing down a lot, getting even with the ground, and slowly letting yourself drift down. I'm not sure if you can hold c to go slower in airplanes.

so what you do is align youself with the runway, get in close, then hold the reverse key while slowly drifting upwards. once you see the plane slowing down and falling a bit, gun it again but not as much as the first time so you land lightly on your back wheels.

Hold C.  It slows you down.


Bump
it was only an hour old
ask MackTheHunter or someone.
press c porbably

Get to a slow enough speed when about to land, but keep the nose higher.

Make sure you don't stall by tuning your speed with W and fine tuning with C+W. Do not brake until all wheels are on the ground because you'll end up landing with motionless wheels.

Great, let's ask a terrible pilot.

Long range navigation is a bitch, I wish someone could make a map addon or something that displays the area around you.

Ephialtes and Lalam are arguably the best pilots in blockland (Ephi is the better of the two though)

heh

And of course kalphiter, who likes to pretend that he is #3

landing planes have always been a bitch in blockland
i would always start off nicely, then dive straight down

I remember Lalam and you racing and Lalam beat you several times :p
From my death race with planes.
