Have many times considered making a video where I do a juicy approach. Too bad here in Europe we don't have alot of them, but things can get a little interesting in the Alps though  Smiley
Video starts at downwind leg, just before making a right 180 degree turn to interecept the runway heading for 08. Flaps at 30, gear down and autobrakes set at 3. Anything more than that is totally unnecessary for this runway. I will select flaps 40 rather late because the added drag is so great.

Weather was very kind only light turbulence and a slight wind (091/4). I managed to land this aircraft just before the mist started to roll in from the east. I was very lucky the weather permitted me to do this, and it's all visual (no autopilot)

The video is not edited, and there are no exterior shots, just cockpit and wingview  Smiley
Oh and I apologize for the bad quality, I'm not really Oliver Stone of FS movies...  Sad

Video size is 28mb approx.

    Wow, that took forever to download on a cable modem... but very very nice video. Cheesy You have such a smoothe computer. No sputters or freezes. Interesting airport, way out in the booneys. And for as long as you turned, I was surprised that you haven't a full 360 turn....  Grin You really should have some exterior shots if you make another vid, and possibly the cabin. Exterior would be better though.  Grin

Sorry about the download time, but the file is on a 100mbit server though, so I blame your slow cable connection Wink

Yes I know exterior shots is desireable, but if i switched to exterior view, the aircraft textures would take some 2 secs to show up (due to the heavy workload during the video capture) so instead of having you guys staring at a white airplane I decided to skip exterior shots  Embarrassed

And yes I'm quite comfortable with my system  Cheesy

What did you use to create the video?  I am in the process of creating some right now using a digital camera but after all the conversions I lose a lot of quality.

Funchal.

I vote for TNCM...it would be great to see the island scenery and water effects on your computer.

Well TNCM is beautiful and all, but hardly as challenging as Funchal (which I'm considering to shoot)

Yup, i've gotta agree with Yoda, TNCM would look great on ur PC Nexus, even on my Medium Low 850mhz 512mb Ram GeForceMX400 computer, it looks incredible, couldn't even begin to imagine what it would look like on yours Grin

Athlon 64 (3200+, but it's overclocked)
Radeon 9800XT graphics (overclocked aswell)
TwinMos DDR400 (1gb of memory)
S-ATA harddrive from Maxtor.

The sim runs pretty well, but as you notice the ground texture stutters but not the aircraft. Movements about the y and x axis is smooth. haven't found a solution yet  Embarrassed
