The simulator (Elite based on a King Air) was a good addition to previous shows and after watching a couple of people attempt to land it I thought I would have a go at showing myself up somewhat.

Took off, made a reasonable attempt at a circuit, positioned myself on the ILS to R23, started to descend on the G/Slope, forgot about the glideslope whilst descending a bit lower than I should, remembered when I was at about 2500' and the remainder of the ILS was pretty nice (no wind to worry about).

Even managed to land it, even if I did leave the thrust reversers(?) on after parking up on the runway. Doh!!!

Elite seems to be very good software, yesterday was the first time I had tried the simulator. I may go and buy the software for my own PC at home, even if I can't afford the avionics console etc.
