yes the Captain Sim 707 has an oddball autopilot, many bugs etc, but it is a joy to fly now when I have had the time to practice with it.
So what do you get when you add the 707 and Aerosofts Madeira?
Answer is found inches below

Base leg for runway 05

From a spotters point of view, as the elegant iron lady passes by

Same as above, just a different angle

How are we doing with the altitude, keep her steady cap!

Touchdown! Cheesy

To top it off; the distinct shapes of the tail, belonging to one of aviations true pioneers

Thanks for watching.

Great shots of a classic Nexus Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Nice shots I'm glad to hear that you're coming around more and more to the beauty of this plane and her systems.

Hey Nexus,

Great shots. However if I may, I'd like to suggest that on an approach as spectacular as the one at Funchal you could maybe zoom out a bit to show the aircraft in relation to the earth? Shot #4 would be the closest to what I am talking about.

Ramsa: too bad her "systems" aren't working as they are in real life, the aircraft is buggy as hell, which you are aware of aswell I suppose. Sad

Silver: Thanks I will take that into consideration
