I meant to say FS9, Nick...sorry. Still, darn smooth frame rates considering the weather in the clip. Since I use the high def Rex clouds, I'll
get a reduction of 20-30 frames when new clouds form or if the aircraft is inside of heavy thick clouds. Thick fog is never an issue but man
alive...lots of cumulus types weigh heavily on frames for a while.

@Tim...well done!! I've not seen a green box outline on an aircraft's main display before. What exactly does it depict? Airport area
perhaps?

that shows a traffic pattern around the runway. where it intersects the approach ine, is the outer marker.

Its the ISG ND. so it dowent have a database of approaches (exept a handfull of airports) it dows however give a generic streight in line.


the Streight in line starts about 40nm out from the runway. an arrow intercets at 20NM, the arrows lines aree 45* of center. and a
crossing altitude (2000 Ft above the airport, then rounded to the next highe 1000) the part where the box intercets with centerline, is 5NM
out. Note the OM indicator on the PFD lights up here to. the box itself (the part i dont like) depicts a traffic pattern. so i gues to tell ya to
caution VFR aircraft operatig here. its pretty useless thoue.

so bassicly it give you a generic approach. that only works in florida, where every thing is flat

Nice description, Tim. Something quite different than what I have seen thus far in any glass cockpit. Situational awareness is certainly enhanced

[timtomairways]

I preffer to get the approach plate, and programe in the waypoint. If you give the correct altitude for each waypoint, the descent profile
indicator acts like a glideslop, incase your comming in to a non ILS runway.

Just wondering....should we do away with having a screenshots thread since there are so few people who post them anymore? I do encourage everyone to
post their screenshots no matter how adept you may or may not be with editing software. Personally I enjoy seeing the variety of shots with differing
perspectives. Screenshots with in the form of story boards are quite nice and entertaining So, don't be afraid of posting your works of art, edited
or unedited. Bring them on!

Interesting to hear all those automated voices in the cockpit -- including a couple by FSPX. But, yes, reduce that power before
establishing your climb. After raising the gear, it's the first thing I do.

That last 100m descent before touchdown seemed slightly steep... but I don't fly the 737 yet, so what do I know?
I'd guess a(n even) more gentle touchdown possible with plenty of runway left for reverse thrust, spoilers, autobrakes, braking parachutes, arrestor
wires, etc.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing!

you can see in the video, i let the nose drop to almost level whiel i was turning the L-NAV and N1 hold on. it sapost to stay at about 10*
throught cleanup.
the proces we use at my VA is keep V2+15 until 1000AGL, then pitch to 10* and bring flaps up in increments when passing 220KIAS is
when we set climp thrust, useally 75%N1. and pitch as nessacery to stay below 250. ATL's departur procedures are diffrent, we often
alter our normal procedure

From that view they often seem steep. my touch down was about -170, witch ranks as a "Nice" in FSP.

This is funny. I was going to do a Pilatus Porter flight from PAKT to CYXY, take some nice screenshots along the way, but I noticed the headwind was
practically stopping the Pilatus in mid air I decided to cancel the trip

[gbapache]

sounds like it turned your plane into a hovercraft

[timtomairways]

well, that sounds intristing, ya should have taken a shot of that.
