Hi Haseen, if your joystick has a 'hat' control it can be configured to give a look out of the side windows. If you just have the front view then you need to keep the end of the runway in the side of the view. The circuit needs to be flown at 1000ft. decreasing to 600ft at the base/final turn (at say 1/2 mile out.) Do you watch the PAPIs on Final? They are at the 3deg glide-slope.

Pete
