how to land a galaxy?

[Realmofdarkness]

Ok so I tried to fly a Galaxy for the first time yesterday and flying is pretty straight forward but i cant figure out how to land in a fashionable way.
When I reduce speed the Galaxy just hovers. It doesnt decrease altitude. But I have seen Galaxies hovering and going straight down without 'diving'

The button you want is left "ctrl" by default

Yep, slow down and hit control. Balancing between forward/reverse motion and CTRL/Down thrust is key.

I totally know what you mean by fashionable landing.

Ctrl is obviously the "Descend" key you are looking for. But I love turning my sensitivity to max when flying (via a quick adjust on my mouse) just so I can stick the awesome landings.

Nothing beats coming in full speed and banking hard right and slightly up and finding that perfect balance of Ascend-Descend to land just right. I try to make every landing look like the cinematic in Starcraft 2 where Raynor comes in to rescue the marines on Char.

Thank you guys very much. will try that and hopfully I wont have to see players jump of to a certain death from a flying galaxy just because I cant land

In regards to this question, I feel that it is damn hard to make an emergency landing in any 1 or 2 man plane. I go from almost dying from getting shot up to suiciding from coming in to hot.

Then again I could just get better at flying. ha.
