Without looking at the model you downloaded:
Close throttles
Shut down engines
Full flaps
Airbrake
Gear down
Point nose towards tarmac
Keep fingers crossed
The above not in any particular order...
Carlo
PS. Just kidding ofcourse. Pressing F1 (or F2, try it out) will close your throttles completely. Maybe that helps?
As a person of the Scottish persuasion, I've done this most of my lifeI close my eyes, and think furiously of England
RAFAIR100, jets are just 'different.'
For a start, they're enormously streamlined. Beyond that, their ASIs - 'Air Speed Indicators' - are hopelessly inaccurate, given that they work on air pressure. So a jet doing say 550 knots at 35,000 feet will only show say 275 on the ASI.....
Even so, on a landing approach on ANY aeroplane, you should work on knots, NOT Mach. numbers.
Trick is, starting a landing descent, set the 'Speed Hold' to say 240 knots. That will probably be all of 500 knots at height, but it is 'self-adjusting' as you get lower, into thicker air.
Once down to approach height, say 2,500 feet AGL, set the airspeed to 140 knots and progressively add flap. 140 knots is just about the 'standard' landing speed for jets. You have to bear in mind that, being so streamlined, those things take absolutely AGES to slow down... :-)
