Why does it do this?!?!?!!!!!

You land too fast and you don't flare enough. Basically your front landing gear gets broken and you can't move the aircraft anymore. You can count it as a crash.

So I'm going too fast and don't flare anough. Does flare mean I don't pull up anough?

Also, how slow should I be when I land? Usually I'm about 175 knots.

depends what plane but i normal around 130ish in 737

Flare means to pull up your nose a bit just brfore touch down. 130 is for Airbus A318,319,320 as well.

I'm trying to land the 777 but this keeps happening, I guess I'll just pull up the nose more.

if you going that fast if you pull nose up you will not desend. think of it as free falling get the pitch right hold it there and used the engines to level the decent out and incress it

Don't!

I think I know what's going on, as it happened to my twice. Yes, I am new to the big bird. Using FSPassengers does focus your mind.

This is what I did (wrong):
Going down the glide path at around 160 kt, I slowed to 140 kt about 3 nm to touchdown and set the autobreak to 3. At the 10 ft call out I cut the power, the angle was around 6º (perhaps a bit much e.g. Tail strike), as soon as the wheels touched down I applied the speed breaks and then straight away reverse thrust. What then happened is that the the nose came down with a big thud, dug into the runway. Crash! 1/2 the passengers dead, flight crew injured, plane a write off. 🙄

What went wrong? I should have kept on "flying" the the plane, touching the nose down gently. Only when the nose is firmly on the ground I should have applied breaking, reverse thrust, etc. When I did this the next time I managed to get the plane (and pax) down in one piece. Try it and make sure you have Crash detection set, otherwise how will learn from your mistakes?
