Thanks...

Thank you for the replies....I'm still hoping for more info on the other questions, if others get a chance.

RB, if you don't mind, you mention slowing the plane down by putting the landing gear down...one of the things I am doing is setting the speed in the auto-pilot to 150 at about 10 miles out. I have a feeling that is not realistic. Could you shed some light on speeds at 20m, 15m, 10m and then on in? I know from looking at flightaware.com and also watching the screen on landing a few times in the cabin, the airplane seems to be slowing down almost all the way in but I'm not sure how to accomplish that using the autopilot. Thanks.

HKD, I have looked at PMDG and heard it is great. To be honest, I've been intimidated whether I could fly it, wondering if it is too realistic for a "still amateur" at this. No? It sounds like we have somewhat similar experience. Have you had trouble learning to get the plane set up using PMDG? If not, I may splurge and get that sim.

Thanks to all,
Alan
