Nice video and nice landing Bruce. Fun stuff.
So Lou, does the FSX 747 mimic the flight characteristics of  a real 747 in those conditions as presented in the Singapore approach? It kind of seems like wrestling a wild animal the entire time. Sometimes on that flight for what ever reason I pull up just a bit to much for the flare and I find I have a real hard time getting the plane to settle on the runway. At this point I hit the speed brakes for not more than a second and then after a couple seconds delay, the plane settles nicely. It this not good form using speed brakes for this application?
Also, I have my default flight set up  for KPAE to KSEA in the CS 70 7 with 1/4 miles visibility, heavy turbulence and 25k wind 90 degrees relative and heavy rain. My approach is on 16R in KSEA. I can only land this successfully maybe 1 out 5 tries. My landing weight is about 220K. I can generally make the landing if I have the localizer just a bit off center at 2 miles on the DME so that when I actually get to the runway threshold the drift will have carried me to the right spot for the touch down. But that is a lot easier said than done. From that point the window of opportunity to set the plane down is so brief because in a split second the drift will have carried you off the runway and for me its very difficult to get in back in alignment. No real second tries unless you do a go around it seems.   In real life should a well seasoned pilot be able to make an instrument approach in such conditions in a 707? So I'm wondering at what point does an airport become shut down?
I have a better success rate using the 727 ( of course with a light landing weight). Thanks for your help.
