Just had a nice flight landing in our new favorite scenery... here are a few shots on the descent over Vancouver Island and turning into CYVR-8L:

Right before the final turn at 4,000ft...

It was all fine and I made the stupid choice to let the autoland do it's thing.... and all of a sudden at 100ft I got this crazy wind change and the plane took a nose dive. Undecided

It's hard to tell it's a sim. Looks photo-quality. Wink

Very nice set. Cool

The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

Are those contrails or distant clouds in the first? They look very 2D. Other than that I love these shots. Great looking plane. When you say autoland, do you mean ILS. If so, you should turn it off to land manually. It should only take you to the runway, you should still be flying the last few seconds and putting it down.

Cool
