watch that drift when you flare !!

 

great to see your reports .. have you setup any macros / luas for all those buttons / switches / rotaries ??

Nice video thanks

Regarding the light splashes, doesn't the NGX have this too?

i will rephrase ... what's the drift on touchdown - magvar difference, fsx afcad alignments or (no it can't be) a pmdg misalignment of the loc ???

You will see strobe off grass.

 

I know this is night, but the extreme overcast conditions He landed in would give around the same effect. Also. This is FSX.....I don't think Microsoft worrier about surface absorption.

Yes obviously at night but not during the day which is what we were talking about.

Deleted.

Not worth it.

Great video Luke.

 

May I ask you which joystick / yoke are you using?

[richtemark 13]

Very nice video, thank you. One question though: I was not able to see the runway when minimums were called. So, in "real life" (or "as real as it gets" FSX flying other than for tetsing or showcase purposes), wouldn't a go around at 50ft be mandatory?

 

Kind regards,

Markus

Lead-in lights can be seen a fair bit above the minimums. That is satisfactory enough. For CAT IIIa at least, CAT IIIb has a zero DH, no outside reference required at all.

So much teasing!  I really look forward to this new toy!

Thanks for the explanation, but are you sure? I thought that the required RVR (runway visual range) equals the distance a pilot should be able to see down the runway. From the selected MDH of '100 in the video, I would have thought it was a CAT IIIa landing with a RVR of 660ft.

[Fabo 213]

RVR yes, vertical visibility, no. I don't know about the landing in the video, however the light bars were definitely seen before touchdown anyway.
