I didn't mean to start something, I was just pointing out that I thought it was cool. But, I had to try for something more....

Thanks Pizzicato - I'm not centered though, like your landing was, so I still have to work on it.

Before long someone's going to land on an IL-76 that's landing.

Gentlemen...

Your next landing challenge:

Don't mind the antenna... it's not solid.

I just tried landing on the Radome of a parked A-50, but I just fell right though it and blew up.

HA! sounds like we're on the same page, Goalie. I was planning on setting up a column of BTRs after I got home from work. Thanks for saving me the time of testing a 'vehicle landing' smile

I tried that a couple of times before the tank and kept sliding off, so I decided to go for something larger first.

But that's my next landing challenge...

While you might not be able to land on a moving BTR, you can land on a moving carrier:

Is it just me or is there quite big clipping problems when trying to land on grass? Okay it weights 10 tons so maybe it´s realistic to go straight into the ground.

What? Land on the ground instead of a building? I'm not sure I've tried that...

But seriously, I don't think I did try to land on grass. I'll give it a shot when I get home.
