Sunday at 06:48 AM2 days That looks like rather impressive performance. I would like to have an executive jet (or small airliner) that can handle a runway as short as 3500 feet with no passengers or cargo, and a decent fuel load.

Sunday at 09:48 AM2 days I love the Falcon - the developers did an excellent job job and considered the things a single sim pilot needs (click spots for difficult to reach buttons and a autothrottle for the cruise). My only problem was to programm an arrival in flight - did someone succeed to do that? And I have some trouble to handle the plane after landing in side wind conditions - one or twice I went on the grass - but I am sure that is my fault.

I somehow managed to delete the whole flight plan while enroute, reloaded it and inserted STAR and destination runway. The wrong runway. I deleted the STAR and inserted both again, STAR and the correct runway.I followed the manual over at Contrail and everything went well.
