Landings are pretty easy, actually. The most important point is to land as slow as possible. First, see the 'Full Flaps stall speed' and then you can use the autopilot to hold just 10KIAS over and above that speed.
Ex., if the full flaps stall speed for boeing is 130 KIAS (I think its less than this), use auto pilot to hold 140 KIAS and then immediately after touch-down switch off Auto throttle control and apply speedbrakes (/) and rev thrust (First F1, then F2 <press and hold>). Below 50 KIAS, switch off rev thrust (F1) and engage parking brakes (CTRL + .) The parking brakes are actually not recommended, but I found out that it bleeds away the speed dramatically.
One major point at these slow speeds is stalling and actually 'dropping out of the sky' well before the touchdown point on the runway. To master this, you must be on the proper descent path <about 500 fpm for cessna and for boeing I think its 1200-1700 fpm>
I don't represent M$. Then why the name M$? Simple...I like what they make, especially FS!

Nexus82 I'm slowly working up to a 737-100. I reckon I'll be flying that VFR-I also reckon that may just about be the limit(although I have been known to do touch and go at YSSY in a 747)any bigger they take too long in a circuit-boring!!
White on White fly all night.&&&&Red on White you're alright.&&&&Red on Red you'll soon be dead.

I hope I didn't misunderstand you post.
Are you talking about real life?
Sweet, can those old 737-100 still fly?
I know here in Sweden, the 737-100 aren't allowed to fly because of the noise of those old JT8D engines, I think the time is soon up for the 200 series as well
But to topic, flying a 737 VFR flight plan is more of a big exception than a general rule. Although Visual approaches are not rare

No Nexus82 I wasn't going to do that in real life
wish I could!!
I doubt in real life any 100s are still flying but they appeal to me along with Saab 340s and 2000s,Bae146s,Metroliners and Dash8s.
I'll get around to flying them all in FS eventually,maybe I'll have finished by the time FS2006 comes out
