I was wondering what the A2A landing rate of sync for the B-17G is modeled at before my crew starts to complain about hard landings. I have noticed that I can nail a "0" FPM rate of sync landing and still get the peanut gallery in the back complaining about a hard landing. Just like any other plane, I do believe the B-17G has to have a minimum-maximum FPM landing rate of sync. After all they use to land on dirt, grass, metal (psp) and paved runways.

Re: Landing Rate of Sync
Mhh interesting. I don't want to brag but I regularly get comments on my smooth landings Of course there's the occasional hard landing or bump that directs the crew chiefs anger at me. I don't know the exact values but it's definetly possible to please him
What surface are you usually landing on?

Re: Landing Rate of Sync
I've had lots of great landings and kudos from my crew. I'm just dumb founded how a "0" FPM rate of sync landing can be interpreted as a hard landing. Maybe I have a crew of girlie-men!

Re: Landing Rate of Sync
Oh sorry I misunderstood your original post. I don't know what the criteria are for getting a smooth landing comment from your crew. Maybe also side load gives one bad comments!?
