I always have problems with vectoring approaches. It always takes me quite far from the runway, and at some point I think I'm going to lose and then I do the approach without ATC. Is there perhaps a setting I need to change? Below are pictures of the aircraft profile; I don't know to what extent you can influence it.

thank you

The Vector leg distances on the ATC tab should be reduced.  I would set Extended Final to 0.5 or 1.0.  And for airliners, 5.0 is adequate, but you can go a little higher to give a slightly longer pattern.  Try 6.0 for the Vector Leg Length.  The Extended Final set at 7.0 is what's causing the majority of the problem.

So, in the ATC tab, I set "Vector Dst" to 6 for airliners and "Ext Final Dst" to 5. Have I interpreted that correctly?

5 is probably too long for Ext Final.  I would reduce it to 1.  That will shorten the overall pattern by 4 NM and not affect the ease of the vectoring.
