DHL...

Well hopefully aircraft from this company will soon be winging their way around the World with cargo holds stacked with DVDs for FSX.

Here is a sequence of the approach in real weather into McLeland Field's difficult Runway 13, performed by a DHL Boeing 727. The weather is not brilliant and I'm using GE Pro's overcast textures...I'll let the pictures tell the story:-

The full sequence can be seen by clicking this address:-

Thanks for looking :dance:

Hi Peter,

Nice sequence of pictures there and you've answered a question I was about to post elsewhere. I see you have an ILS with a GS of 4.5degs. I was going to ask if it's possible to alter GS angles in FS and obviously it is. In anticipation of BAe146 operations with the VA into EGLC we need to get the GS angle changed to 5.5degs on rwys 10 and 28. Is it possible to alter the default ILS GS angles?

You can set it with AFCAD2 John.

John,

They are already set at 5.5 degrees in both the default FS9 airport and also in "VisualFlightLondon" scenery.

Hi Pete,

Hmm.... I haven't flown the ILS into EGLC for a couple of years so wasn't sure. I thought I'd have remembered a steeper approach. Thanks for the info.

Arrrggggghhhhhhh, a yellow 727... I spend half my life trying to avoid the things & 'bump into' one here

At least this didn't happen;

Well no RJP,

As you can see in the sequence, my 727s make the smoothest landings of any AI aircraft I have...I made this one from the Dreamfleet especially for my base and I run three of them, DHL, AA and Mexicana. I put a lot of work into making it fly correctly, especially it's use of flaps while in flight...I just wish I could make my AI "Echo" land with such perfection...I'll get there one day

It used to be a 7.5 degree approach until the runway was extended. 5.5 is still impressive to watch though

That's a really great shot CB, says it all :think:

Peter,

I've wondered a couple of times...... are you self-taught in the A.I. department? I am impressed with your AI, especially as I've only really had something flying (badly) from A to B. If you're not self-taught did you find a tutorial that covers stuff like formation flying?
