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

well....$hit happens!

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!  ;)

I know the feeling. All too well in fact

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.

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

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..

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?

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

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

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
