Kinda OT: Maybe FSX didnt get it wrong

i've been to Madeira and that runway extension rocks !! you can drive under it on the highway . really impressive !
 
Lindberg Field in San Diego is pretty tight too, right downtown and not much wiggle room at all. I bet a lot of white knuckles in cockpits landing there.....tho never had a bad bent bird there to my knowledge.
 
Lindberg field did have a terrible midair involving a PSA 727 on final and a small GA with a student pilot and a flight instructor aboard

was it 1978 or so?

I saw it from a distance - was working that day on Washington @ 4th ave at a Chevron station - a pump jockey back when there were 'full service' stations... heard the crump of an impact and saw the reflection of a jet on fire in the windshield I was washing...turned around and watched the stricken plane go down.

It disappeared below my vantage point and a second or two later there was an awful whump and a huge smoke plume - people were stopped at that busy intersection and someone just got out of his car and stood there for the longest time - no one moved.

you can google it - Flight 182 may they rest
 
There's also a documentation on Flight 182. Not sure whether it was "Mayday" or "Seconds From Disaster" though.
