I could land the King Air if the following conditions are met:
1. I know how to operate the radio.
2. ATC devoted to helping me.
3. No other traffic to worry about, no restrictions on where I can fly.
4. No time pressure, take as much time as I need.
5. Clear weather.
6. No wind.
7. Initial altitude high enough so that I am not in immediate danger of hitting terrain.
8. I can turn off the autopilot, adjust trim and maintain straight and level flight.
9. Take time to gain confidence by making small changes in bank, pitch, throttle, and so forth.
10. Practice descending under control at high altitude before attempting to descend all the way to the ground.
11. May need to practice with flaps and gear before attempting the actual landing.
Then follow the instructions and land.

No offence to BSm here but if a great-looking FS add-on is all it takes, you'd have to conclude that real pilots, with thousands of real hours, (and two of them in the cockpit at that), would get it right all the time in real life...
I've seen a few 'adult-interest' movies in my time, but would never claim to be John Holmes....

"I have 10000 hours (probably) on FS."
I think that must be THE funniest comment I have EVER read on this website. Absolutely brilliant! Cannot stop laughing. And it is said completely seriously too! There's a whole world just outside your front door!
Just you wait until the likes of Rainboe read your comments on FS "expertise"!

However I couldn't promise it would be any smoother than normal.

However BSmuppet may well be right; some of the add-ons for MSFS like the PMDG designed 747-400 for example are very sophisticated (I got it to make IR practice on the computer more fun...) and as long as one has the systems knowledge to make the FMC work for you and with plenty of help from someone on the radio landing using the autopilot would probably be achievable.

I think I'd stand a better chance of arriving on the ground in one piece by looking for the black and yellow handle between my knees instead of trying to land it.

And hanging from a gearbox?
The "PPL Landing Airliner" scenario has been done to death over the years.
However, say there you are sitting on the back of a Super Puma taking you to your offshore assignment when both pilots keel over. How do you fancy your chances of landing it on a moving ship?

To the 
wits who decided to take the P1ss out of me, its nice to know that simple things ammuse you however please read Contacttower:

I can also show you the printout from when I landed the 744 in the real sim.
Now of course to appease those idiots who took the p1ss out of me, obviously in real life I wouldn't bet on surviving with the added pressure of 300+ souls on board. Whilst the PMDG is as close to the real thing that you will get for £50 I wouldn't have a clue what to do if a circuit breaker failed. I'm not for one single nanosecond saying that Captain Monks should give me a job tomorrow for a LHR-SIN flight. Understand???
So NUDGING STEEL, why don't you go and do one right?
And if Zippy or Bungle (or rainboe what ever he is called) does come on here, hopefully he won't take the p!ss because he would have read my previous 2 posts. Which included the fact that I landed the 744 in a real sim when I got that amazing opportunity to do so.

Please do show us the printout, I think we would all love to read it.
Pray tell - when you had your 744 sim experience, did you by any chance have a "real" pilot sitting next to you who configured the aircraft and coached you on what to do? Of course not, you did it all by yourself.
You're just digging yourself a hole...
Incidentally, sending offensive PMs won't get you too far either.

1. you'd have to conclude that real pilots, with thousands of real hours, (and two of them in the cockpit at that), would get it right all the time in real life...
Why would you have to conclude that? How on Gods earth can you come to that conclusion from what I said on my 2 posts?
2. I've seen a few 'adult-interest' movies in my time, but would never claim to be John Holmes....
Did I ever claim that BA should give me a job tomorrow?

Nicholas,
Yeah mate. I am digging a hole and its got your name written all over it.
Pray tell - when you had your 744 sim experience, did you by any chance have a "real" pilot sitting next to you who configured the aircraft, tutored you on what to do? Of course not, you did it all by yourself.
If you READ my post like I told you to do, you would be able to see this sentence:
(a/p off at 1250ft localiser and GS established)
Therefore it was configured!!!!! And no I didn't do it BY MYSELF. Please show me where I claimed I had????
Nicholas, the hole is ready by the way. Jump in.
But before you do, fancy saying a few more idiotic things? I'm not that busy today in the office. So I can keep coming back with quotes to completely negate every dumb thing you say.

For all those who are interested, this is my Pm to Nicholas:
Subject: got a problem?
PM: Got something to say mate?
Please tell me what was offensive about that?

Bottom line is:
If i have 2 options:
1/ a A/C in this situation with no pax with no experience or "home simulator" experience.
2/ a A/C with a guy like muppet,,
In my humble opinion the only option is quite clear
