Oh I can't be sure sure about the 777 (I rarely fly it), so I'm the wrong guy to ask how to actually fly it
However as a 'coincidence', I happen to have the 777 aircraft manual, though a bit out dated but landing speeds should still be the same

Im sure there are some payware autoland systems ot there, Nexus should know.


The PMDG 737NGs come with full autoland capabilities.

Of course you won't use autoland in sunny California  ;D

But try to fly in the alps when the clouds will follow you down to the runway tarmac. You can't see a thing, and I am not too fond of letting the aircraft crash into a mountain. :)  (already done that too many times...)

If you don't like mountains, go visit England, they always have crappy weather anyways ;D


Silver is right regarding the PMDG 737package, it's awesome, but takes awhile to grasp though.

I'd pay an arm and a leg just to live in CA...but the weather isn't really as dynamic as in Sweden I assume. :)
The only fog you have to worry about is the smog from autos ;)

Colorado might have some interesting mountain approaches, they got some rockies up there at least :)

The San Francisco Bay gets the routine morning marine layer fog that extends as far down as SJC, often putting a damper on the morning air traffic.

Yeah and yesterday we had a downpour  ;D .

To be totally honest, I would rather live in antarctica than the UK.
It can be nice and sunny, but it doesnt last very long  :-[ .

Be grateful though, at least the UK catches most of the rain before it gets to the continent.
