Well, inspite the green landscape, I'm currently over Africa....
Just a few shots from a different angle than usual...

A few more, please enjoy, as they did cost me 10% penalty!
A bit more dramatic this time...
Here you see the first 5% ("landinglights window" is only 2500 feet here :shock: !)
Touchdown! Second 5% because of a too long pause to take the picture!
Well, CBFS earned a good 9 mill. on the trip, so....

This is a good example of why you should consider putting your LL's on at around 220kts and suitably high when flying online :roll: I know it's not right but hey.. FlyNET isn't is it!! :-$

The twist here at HKJK, is that the "LL-window" (under 10000 over 1000) is very small when approaching over that rim.
I am at that point at 7500 but got bonged just the same..... so you see, you only have approx 2500 feet "to do it" in....
The solution at HKJK must be to switch them on just after passing 10000, then you would be home free....

Dan..
Like the rest of us who use FlyNET.. the done thing is to PANIC when you see any sort of hill in front of you on either takeoff or landing!!
Move your mouse (I presume even YOU have one of those!) over the RadAlt and it will give you a 'correct' height AGL regardless of if the needle is above the gauges height range. Keep your eye on that and be ready to disengage the AP at very short notice

Yes, as a matter of fact I thought I already HAD engaged the lights..
Well apparently I hadn't
