Ah...Forgot about those... I'm using FlightBeam KDEN. I haven't even gotten the chance to install rex textures yet. So, thats almost a totally vanilla P3D shot. It's amazing to think about how far the flight simulation platform has come over the years. From flight simulator 1 for the Apple II to P3D. Here's Flight Simulator 1. How do we fly with the keyboard, again?

Really liking this new bird! The shadowing brings a totally new experience. https://flic.kr/p/rfJ5ME

The -200LR with code-share routes is as close as I'm gonna get. Just took off with RVR 300M. That was interesting. I watched your J41 video, looks like a fun aircraft to fly.

Now, I just gotta find a way to get up there from Rio. If United doesn't fly it, my VA doesn't. :unsure:

I fly that approach so often. Next time I fly into IAD on the downwind for the 1's Ill be sure to fly in at 500 feet over Kyles house. vroomm :ph34r:

Just thought some of you might be interested in some eye candy while we wait for the -300

What is the 0547z marker? I've never seen that before.

In my opinion, yes. I would recommend upgrading your ram.8GB would be a solid improvement.

Whoo hoo! I made the cut. :lol: I cant wait for this bird. Thanks for the update Kyle!

Seen it in school :lol: One of my favorite.

I thought I read something in the FCTM that said AUTO 3 is best for brake wear. Because, It makes sure there is one single application of the brakes. Instead of a fluctuation when you use AUTO 1 or AUTO 2. Makes sense, but maybe its just my imagination. Anybody care to chime in?

I believe that brake reading 5 is approximately 538 degrees celsius. Ill do some more research on the topic. Very intresting!

They are too in the U.S. Right? Example -- Runway 35 In MSP EX: http://tinyurl.com/leasp28

I thought the "Piano Keys" were the two blocks at the beginning of the touchdown zone. Edit-- As showed here: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/8/3/0/1722038.jpg

Don't know how I didn't see that, Thanks!

Can you elaborate on the speed restriction?

Now, That I can do!

Okay, So I did a few CAT III ILS approaches. Then a several CAT II ILS approaches with A/T on all the way down. The throttles did idle out at the correct time. But, as martin-w said, the throttles do take several seconds to close up. After some practice, I can already tell my landings are getting much better. Right on the piano keys B). Thanks for all the help gentlemen!

Will do!

I do tend to chase the G/S. Maybe I'll turn off the F/D so I'm not so tempted ^_^ . I'll do some patterns tonight and let you guys know what I find out. Thanks!

Its always 4-5 deg. Maybe I should be a little more gentle?

I've been flying VREF + 5. Generally around 140 ish knots.

Question, It seems like if I leave the A/T on for landing, The throttles retard at around 15 feet. Causing a floating effect. I thought the real aircraft brings the throttles to idle at 25-ish feet. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
