That pilot is an idiot. What a ridiculously long flare.

And... WHY???? do they have to come in through pattern 'in' that valley?? Why not come in over that mountain in the background? Why?

To keep the sinkrates relatively low.

You could maybe do that mountain thing in a Dash 7 or 8, but in a 737 or 757? No way.

FSX ATC is idiotic.

Surround an airport with hills and you're gonna get one hell of a scary approach. They're always keeping you so high that you don't even stand the slightest chance of getting onto the runway in one piece witin that five mile final.

ATC has always been a weak spot with the MS Flight Sim series.

Yep, I started out with Pro-Pilot, and as far back as that goes, the ATC engine was far more realistic and intuitive that anything that MS has ever offered. I've never understood how one sim could be so far advanced in that area and another be so poorly done.

That's where add-ons come in.

I found Radar Contact 4 a sound investment.

Try "9Dragons". Don't know if this scenery will work well in FSX though.
