Does FLIGHT rate ones landings? I mean apart from the guy going on about testing the gear and all that (isn't a good landing one you can walk away from, already?) The last three missions I have done (I only fly clandestine missions, now - I hate to say it, but I'm a bit bored of flying chickens and filing cabinets, and don't get me started on the nurse) I have had to do two, or in one case, three landings to complete the mission, and think I may have the answer (apologies if this is old stuff...delete the post, Jeroen) Having turned off the mssion pointer, and flying in inclement and changing weather, due to the often small and hidden nature of the strips, and notwithstanding the R key, I have landed somewhat "creatively" shall we say, like not on the centreline (cough) and perhaps a little off-kilter (cough - you mean like on one wheel, jake?)) and my prepare to land never goes away, and he never ends the mission, no matter where I taxi around to; so I do a go-around or a touch-and-go, and pay a little more attention now I know where the strip is in relation to my circuit, how long etc, and land "properly". The mission then completes successfully. I have tested this on a standard, non-clandestine mission and it seems to be the same - I thought this might be a bug (some would say it still is) but it looks like, if you don't put her down with a degree of finesse, you may have to go and do it again...In fact, I'd go so far as to say you have to land pretty bl**dy awfully to trigger it anyone care to test this out? It would explain a lot of frustration (but not the bad landings)

(I don't know English, so I made a youtube movie to explain the situation.) Following is the result of my sloppy test. "Go-around(to/ga button) with Single ch mode" disengage the auto-pilot. "Go-around(to/ga button) with CMD mode" does not disengage the auto-pilot. Is this normal response of 737 ? Thank you for reading sir and madams.
