Just for fun........

Hey All,

Thought I would pu this up for fun..... just downloaded the freeware for both places and edited the AFCAD so thought I would check it out.
Visibility was crap, 800M but still had enough for a manual landing. Of course the reason for the post is the 53.1ft/min decent rate at
touchdown............. Just had to post it.

Thanks again dan...... great addition.

Great landing!

It is rather interesting, that ever since I have been using FSP, I tend to do much smoother landings than before (not sure but around -60 to
100 ft/min or so). But in the other hand, I am still not very satisfied by the stability of my hand flying like: when turning, cant prevent the alt to
drop somewhat a 100 ft, or diverting a few degrees from the proper course. If someone cares to give me some advice, it would be cool.

Just takes practice GEO, a lot of practice. Here's a little tip though, you have to pitch the nose up very slightly while turning.
