With medium loadout, from GOT (Gothenburg, Sweden) to LIPR (Rimini, Italy). I'm really happy with the flight considering I haven't flown the plane for too long. I don't know which is tougher, taking off or landing but boy is it fun. I have never flown such a challenging plane for landing and take-offs. Loving it! :mrgreen:

P.S I thought the landing was pretty good, I guess a forgettable landing is a good landing since one would surely remember a bad one. :)

Good job man! You're exactly right about the 'forgettable' landing thing, it means that it was average and respectable, but by no means bad. In real life, you don't really want to aim for a greaser anyway. Also, if you are relatively light (I think in real life < 116,000 lbs) think about doing a flaps 30 landing. You'll get a little higher angle when you set down and are less likely to bounce. Keep up the good work, you'll only get better!

Addman, BJC is right, that is a pretty good flight, especially for your first one. Nice job, Scott.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Appreciate it, heading for Cairo now before continuing eastwards towards asia. Just one question though, doest the altitude control stop functioning if there is too much turbulence or "up-winds"? It seems that I have to reset it now and then when the plane's been bouncing around a bit.

Hi. You lock the altitude by switching the ALTITUDE CONTROL switch. The locked altitude, the value, remains unchanged all the time the switch is on.

regards
