I always open another window, go to the Locked Spot view (F11), the move the view to the left or right side of the plane so I can see the angle of attack during the approach. I make changes to the speed so the B-52 maintains as near to a 0^o level for the landing. Doing this works best for me.


In this image, the speed needed to be around 145 KIAS. The Gross Weight was about 263,500 pounds for the approach.

Hope this helps

Well I dropped my fuel weight to 5% on all tanks to do a quick check of the landing attitude and it was absolutely perfect! What I was doing was loading up a quick take off into pattern for landing practice at Minot AFB, but didn't consider that I was flying with full fuel, ( yes I know that I should have, but my two year old is crawling on me when I have time to fly lol). Now that I reduced my fuel the plane does what it should.

By the way I highly suggest getting the add on for Minot AFB North Dakota, found mine at Simviation, adds B-52's on the ground and other things to feel like the real base.

One last question, How do I load images in here? I clicked the insert image button, but does not let me search for an image?

Thanks for the responses helped me jog through my mind to find my mistakes.
