Is it just me, or does anyone else do this ...?
I take off in one of those shiny Meljets, set the AP and then wander back to the cabin and "sit" by a window and enjoy the view. Then, after landing, I replay the last few minutes while looking out a cabin window -- while the wing is in sight -- and experience the whole landing as a passenger would, complete with the appearing runway, touchdown shake, sound of the reverse thrust, spoilers up and flaps down. Then, after the jet comes to a stop, I see the flaps return to normal position and the nacelles retract. Can't beat that!

Oh, I do it too! That's the best thing about virtual interiors, the fact that you can see it all from a passenger's perspective. It's especially good at detailed airports, where you can see everything from far away, watch it get closer, and see how it is in real life.
Fantastic stuff

So, did you notice the wing flex in flight?
Great little effect!
Thanks to Mel "The Man", himself!

Funny enough, I love doing that too, except I have to put up with it while getting 5-10fps if I'm lucky, with every single setting switched off!!!!!!! I hate it immensly!!!! I wish more than anything I could do what you guys have been doing. It must be awsome! What pisses me off as well is that bloody replay! I set it to 60 seconds, plays nicely, but jerks at times, then change the view set it to 60 seconds again, then it goes to the place where I would be at about 30 seconds, then I have to set it to 90 to see it properly, does anyone know what I mean? It's like it loses memory, I keep having to increase the time every replay to see the replay from the exact same place! It's horrible, And I also keep having to switch between resolutions, otherwise the stuffing computer jerks my sim, it's flipping annoying, I just do touch and goes now, since if I fly for more than about 20 minutes, the fps drop drastically and it even makes the sound jerk, which is almost even worse! This bloody CPU! PIII 766MHz 576 Meg of Ram, my computer guy thinks the problem is there's too much memory for the damn processor to handle! But I still hate this machine!!!! One of these days, I'm gonna pick it up and hurl it against the wall infront of me!

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Hey y2Cragie,
Thanks for asking, they're actually going quite well thanks. The instructor is amazed at how much I know about flying! So far I've done 24.5 hours, 22 duel, and 2.5 solo, got my student's pilot's license now, well, I've had it for 2 and a half weeks, it's just that I've been back at school for a while now, I've only been able to go out to the airport twice. The only problem with flying here, are the bloody ATC! They are terrible! They mumble when they talk to you and the other day when I went, he asked me to call him when I got to the downwind leg, I did, when he replied you could hear the music he was listening to, and it was louder than his voice, you have to ask them to say everything almost 2 - 3 times before you understand what they're trying to say!

At least you don't have 747s running you down when you are number one for landing, like on FS.

Hello again,
To clarify, I downloaded an American Airlines 777-200E (a Meljet repaint) here in Simviation. In the normal cockpit view, if you toggle left and right, you see the passenger windows from the cabin. If you have Active Camera Pro, you can also wander into the cabin and move around -- look out the windows, look at the seat in front of you (with a TV screen for each passenger), etc. etc. When you replay a landing, for example, you can experience that portion of the flight from any point -- cockpit or cabin. If you look at the wing (which indeed does flex), you can see the flaps and spoilers deploy and the reverse thrust activate. I'm not at my home computer, so I can't post any screenshots at this point. Perhaps someone else will oblige.
