Thanks Dan. Definitely a Christmas present. I'll give it a try here in a few minutes. One more thing. I made a flight from DTW-NRT
yesterday as NWA11 (in Brandon Henry's BEAUTIFUL Delta 747-451 repaint) and as I was landing (in Posky's non-existant VC so I could
see the runway), I touched down, applied R/T and ground spoilers and when I set the nose gear down, the nose just seemed to keep
dropping and dropping until I finally realized that the nose gear was collapsing and sparks started flying. I received no warnings that my
gear failed to lock and the nose gear was down in external view. FSX finally CTD'd with an OOM message. I know I didn't force the nose
down too hard like some rookies do (or touch down nose-gear first), but how do you suggest getting the nose down without collapsing
the gear.
