I would do a long flight, but now I have FSX and its running at 1 - 5 frame rate and I don't know why!

Btw coming into landing in a 747, using visual and always aim high... bring it in with the nose up and back down... keeping it around half-throttle... then when you get nearer, bring it down to reverse, put on the brakes... and you could even just cut the engines, or two of the engines and re-start at the bottom to taxi.

lol no, I do know how to land, Its just I was too heavy i think, and dint know what speed i should have been it, and 747s don't put there nose down on landing anyway I land 777s around 155 knots.

Speed in a 747 - around 70 and bring it down, which will bring the back down.

i was going to buy this game, didin't know you had to fly planes for that long though.

what satisfaction do you get from flying a not real plane for 13 hours and wasting a full day? :S

LOL

It certainly will bring the back of the plane down..

You'll stall and fall out the sky.

Try a landing speed of about 140 knots.

I think I was at 140 knots, but I think I was a little bit to heavy, but when I was crusing how come ap made me have a 5 degree pitch up attiude?

just flew back to frankfurt in an a340 and i have to say one of my best landings and i've never even flew and a340 before, got it right on center, not too soft or hard, gently lowered the nose and it was my first time landing the a340. I did a perfect takeoff as well. So I am very happy with my flight :] flying back to gatwick tonight to position myself for a 'vatsim day' tomorrow where i do bout 10 hours of flying.
