And it was all going so well...

[RollerBall]

Don't you feel a complete prat when you do this....

[ATI_7500]

well....$hit happens!

[Mr. Bones]

no because this doesn't happen to me  ::)... ...anymore! when i first started flying FS, this happened to me all the time. it's crap when you are flying a long flight...and when it's finally time for some action, you screw up! i think this motivated me every time to retry and learn how to fly perfectly...now i can land everything anywhere...and that's fun!  ;)

[GeForce]

I know the feeling. All too well in fact

[Joe_D]

Yeah, I recently made the most beautifull belly landing with a DC-3.
Evidently, I accidently I hit the  landing gear button (also mapped mapped to my joysick) shortly before landing.

[ysteinbuch]

Well, you could claim to have made a picture-perfect emergency landing because your gear wouldn't lower.  ;)

[RollerBall]

Yeah - and the family were out at the cinema today (it's half-term holiday here in the UK) so I had the sound turned up for a change

Err..

[JW]

Seen it happen in real life once, guy in a glider forgot the landing gear. Only one wheel there, nevertheless he forgot it.
Got a huge claim from his passenger's healthinsurance that was in there with him that day. Back problems.

Ain't it funny how good men feel real shame, when virtually messing up?

[Travis]

If you can walk away from it, its a good landing!

[RollerBall]

If you can walk away from it, its a good landing!

Yeah, but as you can see from the pic, it made a terrible mess of the paintwork  ;D

[ozzy72]

That may be a good landing, but great ones are better, as they can use the plane again
Ah well Roger, you know the moral of the tale, check you U/C buttons are green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a great landing if you can use the plane again afterwards
