Hey everyone,
I challenge you to land at 21W on runway 17 with a spitfire. This challenge is pretty easy with no weather. Because of that, I’ve added some added some fierce crosswinds to add to the challenge.
Weather:
My attempt (yes, it’s pretty terrible):
I specifically challenge the landing king, @Tyler_Shelton, and moderator, @Carson. Good luck, and have fun.
Challenge accepted. Will attempt later tonight.
You haven´t seen me.
I’ve been practicing, but I still have trouble taking off.
Well… Good luck! Hahahaha.
Spawn in-flight with the landing option.
When the Spitfire lifts it´s rear wheel, apply back pressure on the yoke to avoid rolling over. Avoiding drifting to the sides is another story.
Which map is this?
Yeah, I forgot to mention. You can go ahead and select runway 17 at 21W and press the “landing” option. This way you don’t need to take off.
Seattle, WA.
Planes don’t really spawn in the air! Full pattern for bonus points!
Sure! Good luck trying to take off from such a small runway in strong winds. ;)
21W is Ranger Creek, right?
Such a fun little airport. Love its position in the terrain and the organization of its ramp, runway, etc.
I agree. The mountains are splendid. I love doing spitfire patterns there on Free Flight. :)
@Henrik_B… Max Sez. Sorry I missed this one today got bizy. Streamed the video via ROKU to the Big Screen, Awesome!
(Wish IF would buy into ROKU… A Streamed Fight to a big screen would make my day.)
You didn’t miss it, you can try it whenever you’d like.
@Carson… On it now in solo. Quartering wind at 8… Not easy… Around the hump. Bleeds off a lot of energy… … Grate remote valley! Like Seattle particularly the NW coast. First time in this area. Like it better than the Rockie! Regards, Max
Could’ve been better…
I hit too hard and took a hell of a bounce. End of the rollout was floppy. Other than some wing scrapes I made it out alive. LOL
Not that bad actually… Hahahahaha. ;)
I just tried it, I have troubles taxing without crashing… :(
Try starting with the “landing” option enabled in Solo. That way you don’t need to taxi or takeoff. :)
Has anyone else attempted this challenge? ;)
