That's pretty cool. The NPS scales is one part of the manual that I'll need to read to better understand. Thanks for posting.

Yes, NPS is a user-selectable option on the NGX. Nearing the end of our journey, now. Here we are on the final portion of the FOOXX arrival, on left downwind for the visual (backed up with the ILS) for 01L at TPA:

"One thousand feet, on speed, on glideslope, sink eight hundred" Using the HGS is almost like cheating...

I cannot wait for this!

Thank you so much for these shots! I cannot wait till it's out!

WOW...Those are some great shots! Thank you very much for sharing them with us.

No problem. I just wish the forum didn't compress them into oblivion...the actual shots look SO much better.

...so here's something to help pass the time.

Don't mistake composure for patience. I assure you, I'm most impatient. LOL

I don't doubt that and I'm sure I'll know for myself soon enough.

Chris, As well you should be! Maybe you guys know this already, but I had a genuine "wow" moment right after the last screenshot I posted above. You see, as I brought the thrust levers back to idle and started the flare, I concentrated on placing the Flight Path Vector on the far end of the runway to achieve a smooth landing in the touchdown zone. It was then, around the periphery of the HGS combiner glass, that I became distracted by something...it was the reflection of the strobe lights on the runway. How cool is that?

He, he it is nice to see the problem discussed here a couple weeks ago fixed. The horizontal deflection bar (the vertical bar with the pointer) is now prefectly aligned with the runway.BTW, Nick, how are cross-wind landings, the opposite aileron-rudder stuff?

Thx Nick to share that with waiting people ... :D

Michael, I hesitate to comment, since that depends entirely on your hardware setup and FSUIPC settings. If you're flying with a twist grip stick and no slope on your rudder axis, I imagine it would be pretty difficult. With the proper setup, and the requisite skill, I suspect you won't have any problems whatsoever. Thanks for fixing my name, by the way.

I was referring more to the capability of this simulation, not limits of my skill or of my hardware set-up. As we know proper side-slipping in FSX can't be taken for granted, I have seen everything by now in this area. Thanks for your input.

oh boy I better pop a few Ritalin before the flight because I get distracted very easily.
