What is the deal with Project Opensky 747's? I have tried a number of times to land at the main airport at Berlin and the nose gear keeps collapsing into the ground. I have installed the proper Air and cfg files into the aircraft and have installed the Posky744 and Posky Utility files into the panel along with the proper Vcockpit text. This is really beginning to irritate me.

Check for three greens...

Check weight and balance maybe?  C of G too far forward?

How is the attitude of the aircraft at touch-down ? If it is nose low that's the problem.  Land  on the main gear first and then lower the nose. Approach should be slightly nose up.

do you allow the nose to gently come down to Earth? or do you slam it to the Asphalt as soon as you touch down?   -- you should touch down with main gear first, then travel roughly 1/8 of the total length of the runway BEFORE the nose touches down (give or take a few hundred feet).


while stationary on the ground (not moving) look at the front gear.  Is it sitting up in the air, or is it sunk into the ground?

I always make sure my fuel is below 30% before attempting a landing in any big passenger jet. You would think the mains to be more of a concern in an over weight landing, but the nose gear might not do so well either.
