Here are some shots I got the other evening, where I sat at NZOX watching ole' Crazy Craig attempting to land his A320 on the short grass strip:

After this I had to go offline, but last night I actually witnessed the successful landing when Craig landed it again at NZOX after a full Trans-Tasman flight! Unfortunately I have no screenshots to prove it happened though

sounds like you've set a challenge to land something bigger, Trolly...

I dont think u`ll get much bigger in without stalling it.

Remeber if the approach is off, go round.

Is it cheating to land a big aircraft if you have set the payload to nothing and the fuel to only 10%?

If not then I can manage to get a 777-300ER in successfully (used the Meljet one). Tried it a few times until I worked out the approach - drag it in just above the stall and just off the waves, drop it down right on the end of the runway and stand on the brakes - HARD :D

Haven't worked out the multiplayer thing yet, but once (if) I do then I'll repeat the feat online.

Lots of fun!
