Just to be sure, you guys are aware of "Mouse Look" in VC in FSX, right?

Hold down your space bar, move your mouse... use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

When landing (autoland or not) I always use Mouse Look to adjust my view such that the bottom of the screen has the bottom of the VSI and zoomed in/out far enough to include the gauges above it and where I have direct access to the AT Disengage switch.

I do this after my landing checklist, once I know my items such as spoiler armed, flaps set, autobrake set, etc, and before actual touchdown.

Hope this tip is helpful, sorry it took me a while to look and find this message. :)
