Saw some shots of a similar approach at the freeware section, so I decide to give it a go with the PMDG 737. The Rwy choice was off course the challenging 09. Too bad I can't have a good scenery installed..screws my frame rate  :-[


The livery I choose for the flight...America West don't fly here in real life, but I love those paint jobs of theirs  :)


Approaching St. Maartens at around 4200 feet AGL. The wheather is a pleasant view, as always in the Caribbean


Making final approach preparations. The front cruise value is abit off, but since I can't and wont use autoland it doesn't matter  :)


A light crosswind from the left is what welcomes me to the Netherlands Antilles


Passing the treshold going a little bit too fast I later found out.


Touch down, some feet to the right of the centerline, but I'm satisfied...even though I missed the touchdown markers by some hundred feet  ;D



That's it, all in all a very good flight. Departed out of Miami Int. using the POTTR2.PADUS STAR for 09R, if somebody wants to know.

very nice!

and euh...that little thingie with all the letters...that's probably the FMC  ;)

Definitely the Flight Management Computer.  (FMC)

 Fine, fine...  ;D
     If your so smart, then tell me where to get the plane.  ;)

  Thanks, would you say it's worth the money. The Overhead looks pretty good. And do you use it for 2004? If so, is the overhead in VC mode workable?

Heh heh, ok ok.  ;D
I'll check into it, thx nexus.

   P.S.
I've tried the MelJet 777, and that thing killed my framerates. What are your specs and does this affect your framerate?

Well, to be honest, the PMDG 737NG is  an FPS hog. It requires a very good CPU and GPU and MEMORY!
I runt the plane on a Athlon XP2100, Gforce 4 ti4600 and 512mb ddr-ram. On ground the FPS is about 15, in the air about 30.

  Thx Nexus,
        I guess I'll wait for an upgrade before thinking about payware.

Love those PICs.  I work  for  AWA an I can go look out the window right now an it looks like I'm looking at your plane. That is just sweet looking.  :D
