When the light turns red in front of you and you check to make sure spoilers and autobrakes are armed.....

I know, right? Why?

Very, VERY nice.

The way I usually do it is to use the V/S mode/LNAV to intercept the G/S dot from just above/below (at altitudes of up to 6000 ft AGL) then follow it with V/S until G/S capture. For final approaches where the loc course is less than 45 degrees from the intercept course, this is a very useful and highly interactive method. I recommend giving it a go.

It floats as much as any other aircraft of it's size. I don't see the problem. I've landed multiple times right where I should be (150 ft beyond the 1500 ft markers).There is an old saying : "A bad workman always blames his tools."

Bump?

Even 747s sometimes land with no autobrakes in good conditions and with runways over 10k feet using just reverse thrust. This is useful if aircraft are required to roll out to the end of the runway, and it saves brake pad wear. A 737 should be able to do that no problem on runways over 10,000 ft. long.

This is what the NGX has made my computer feel like.

Exactly, more for added fun factor than any danger.

I can land without weather "spoiling" my approach, but that doesn't mean it's not challenging. In fact, I've never once crashed a plane on approach to Innsbruck. Once again, let me say that the approach is NOT SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFICULT TO GET DONE, it's just an added challenge if you really get into it and don't sit back thinking, "man, this is so easy I could do it with my eyes closed."

I agree. In the sim, people get cocky because it seems rather tame and controlled, but in the real world, without the unrealistic visibility of runways in FSX, the job is made significantly harder.

The circling approach to 08 even in fair weather conditions can be a little scary! Look at how aggressive the maneuvers are.

Try the Loc/DME runway 26 approach, circle to land runway 08 under weather conditions that permit seeing the runway only at 6 DME OEV (OEV is the Localiser code). I had to make a missed approach before I saw the runway the second time at the last minute. Also, adding in some snow, etc. will really spice up your flying life! When taking off from 6,000 foot runways in a 737-800, I'd recommend no T/O derate at all.

The aircraft is not pressurized for flight. You need to make sure both packs are on after departure and the recirculation fans are on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
