"Excellent video Jeff, the ATC background adds real ""ambience"" - worth the effort. "

"Cool movie! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] Shame about the music though, but then again, you can't please everybody... especially some 21-year old with a rather peculiar taste in inflight entertainment [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] I have been thinking about doing a movie myself too with my plane, shame my PC has become a leetel beet slow for these sort of things [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] Still, don't be surprised if I do... I got the music figured out at least [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] I assume you are using Fraps to capture the FS images and also use ActiveCamera? PS: Another, small detail about your flying skills.... in my manual, VREF Flaps 25 at even 630000lbs is 160 knots, not 190 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img]"

"yeah about the landing speed, I always hold missed approach speed until I reach minimums, I was distracted as I was flying, so I didn't slow down much the first landing... the second landing I did it on purpose, you'll notice the low visibility. I held missed approach speed until the last second, then when I was SURE I was going to land, you'll notice I killed the throttle to slow it down. Actual touchdown speed (which you can't really see there) was about 160'ish (I was sorta heavy, notice the bugs set, those were the real numbers being used). Anyhow, as far as my flying 'skills', I assure you, I do have some [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] I was merely distracted by my daughter as I was landing on the first attempt. It happens, and it's just a game, in real world, I wouldn't have my 5-year old daughter in the cockpit with me heh [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Thanks for the compliments on the movie. I appreciate it."
