yes the Captain Sim 707 has an oddball autopilot, many bugs etc, but it is a joy to fly now when I have had the time to practice with it.
So what do you get when you add the 707 and Aerosofts Madeira?
Answer is found inches below :)

Base leg for runway 05

Same as above, just a different angle :)

How are we doing with the altitude, keep her steady cap!

Touchdown!  :D

Thanks for watching.  :)

Nice shots I'm glad to hear that you're coming around more and more to the beauty of this plane and her systems.

Hey Nexus,

Great shots.  However if I may, I'd like to suggest that on an approach as spectacular as the one at Funchal you could maybe zoom out a bit to show the aircraft in relation to the earth?  Shot #4 would be the closest to what I am talking about.

Ramsa: too bad her "systems" aren't working as they are in real life, the aircraft is buggy as hell, which you are aware of aswell I suppose.
