Just picked up the NGX yesterday I think. Figured I would try and get it into St Barths over the hill onto Rwy 10. Hats off to PMDG for an excellent flight model. It is incredibly stable and once set up and in the groove on an approach it is completely rock solid. The details about the landing and circuits are on the video description. I'm getting good frames within the first 20 minutes of loading the plane up, but the frames start to drop a bit, maybe 10-20% after about 20 minutes. Not sure if it's just FSX loading up all the mem or maybe a small mem leak, but on my modest system it's running well after a few tweaks on the FSX cfg file. Hope you enjoy it.

Great video!Extreme landing and precise execution.

Did you check your break temps by any chance after stopping? Great job on the approach and landing.

No, but I will probably have a brake failure when I load the plane back up again. Remember the Payload was empty at 1/3 fuel, so the plane was really light. I closed FSX after saving the FS recorder file, hoping to get the vid done soon. But in retrospect, I coulda shaved off another 5 knots on the next approach and gotten closer to the hill. Both woulda probably allowed me to get the wheels down at the TDZ or just before it. Ohh, lol one more thing, it was Rex generated weather with a 11kt right crosswind and of that a 2 knot tailwind component. When I got the recordings into Fraps, I had to clear the weather to get frames up a bit for the recordings. JB

They really have to check that plane now: Hard landing, Max braking all the time and reversing below 60 knots sucking pebbles and sand into the engine. Luckily everyone escaped alive :D

Hey man, that was not a carrier you know ??

Now the question that gets asked is....."how are you gonna get outta there boy!?" Awesome job man!!!!

with paddles of course LOL

I started the session there with 1/3 fuel and no payload. So I did depart there heavier than when I landed.

About an hour ago I gave SABA a try.... You can find the details in the video summary.

Buzz always did like those small airfields in the Caribbean...good to see you posting again.

Hey Rudi, long time ehh? Yeah, I quit FS for a bit and get back into it when a few select addons come out. Then I fly em for a bit and get borred.. Looking foreward to the tac pack from the guys that make that tactical jet... Then maybe short field landings and failures won't be as much fun as shootin down people on MP servers.... :) JB

Dont pass. Go straight to the maintenance department!

Plenty of tires and pads in the hanger. :( JB
