Plane Landing: how do I break?
Just done my 1st 2 plane flights and successful landings, well semi successful...

I cant seem to figure out how to stop at the end of the runway.
I have to overshoot and just wait for my speed to drop and end up in the grass.

Any ideas? I’m probably missing something pretty simple...

Holding "B" by default hits the brakes.

You can also click the red button with a "!" that's to the right of the altitude indicator on top of the screen to toggle the brakes.

you can spam "B" which will keep your plane from tipping or just click BRAKE at the center top of screen

If the landing gear is too close together or the plane isn't extremely stable on the ground, this is your safest option. It follows the same principle of ABS.

You could design a shuttle launch system and take screenshots of your attempts before getting it right.

if you change your actiongroups, you can go full-on handbrake without flipping.

i always disable the brakes on the wheels that are in front of the CoM, so i only brake on the back wheels, no flipping there
