And you’re lucky it worked at all. More than half of the time vhen stock ATC gives you a visual approach, you don’t have the option to stay that you have the runway in sight, therefore you never get cleared to land.
It was one of the main reason I gave up on it. The other was the endless go arounds at busier airports…
Yeah, seems now that when assigning a visual, ATC will expect a response when runway in sight. Got a visual rwy 33 at Aspen and had to tell ATC runway in sight so it would clear me to land…
I noticed that option appears only, when you are in certain location relative to the runway.
It happened to me that I got cleared for visual approach. I was around downwind position (actually above VOR that was next to runway). And there was no option of “Runway in sight”. I turned to long final and waiting for clearance to land. But I didn’t get it. Then I noticed that in ATC window there was new option “Runway in sight”. I reported it, I got cleared to land, but it was too late, I was too high. So I did missed approach. And on next approach I reported everything correctly, but I forgot landing gear. I have to practice go-around / missed approach more often, because usually I forget something (gear, flaps).
Another strange thing I noticed is that, when I report go-around too early, ATC immediately clears me to land. I guess, because I am still in front of runway.
I’m really looking forward to BeyondATC to see if it really does better
I see your point there. Of course there is fun in sitting down with the IFR high charts and plan your journey from SID to STAR without outside help too.
Sadly, I rely heavily on simbrief routing more often since I started flying on vatsim, since it’s a race against time, to take off and arrive before ATC logs off…
I normally use Simbrief too. 9 times out of 10 the route it comes up with is often exact (or close enough) to the same route done irl for IFR 
Flew the Shorts360 from Belfast over to Manchester to drop off some NYE party goers, rowdy crowd, good times, landed the ‘flying Manatee’ safely. 
Enjoying the Shorts…
Got to be one of the best looking aircraft in msfs. Think I could look at it all day and you have it in one of the best paint schemes 
Everything else……hmmm 
It has so much potential! Crying out for a decent update.
Hey @KingDeschain! Great project! Would you be so kind and provide your flight plan or your track at the end?
What are your impressions? At first it looked like a cool piece for a hundred dollars, but by now they advertise it for 269, which I honestly can’t fathom to be worth it
Hi!
If you followed the campaign, you’ll know that depending on when you entered the project you would pay $99, $129, $159 or $199. I was on the third group and I’m more than happy.
How if you ask me if it is worth $269, I think it could be a little too much, at least comparing with other hardware I have (for example GNS530 FlightSimBuilder, which I know it’s quite more expensive, but also more “solid” and also incorporating higher value components).
Also it is still one of the cheapest FCU-like device, but I feel that $269 is a little bit overpriced. Probably If I had had to pay even $199 I wouldn’t have backed the project so quickly.
Still, just out of the box it works like a charm, the only thing I don’t like is the fixing mechanism using suction cups and also it is soon to talk about durability.
I’m not sure that’s such an impossible scenario, though sadly I’m not saying this from experience. However I belive resolving such contradictions is one of the main reasons we still have pilots
Well yes, no system is ever entirely bulletproof. 
However, the unreliable information from both ILS glideslopes and PAPIs in MFS appears to be a common and widespread issue, often requiring modders to fix (and that goes for Asobo’s so-called “handcrafted” airports too!).
It’s certainly not anything like this in real life. These systems have proven to be very accurate and reliable over several decades.
If you’re ever in doubt as to whether you’re being given the correct information in MFS, just remember that almost all precision-approach plates will have a TCH value (Threshold Crossing Height) , which as the name implies, tells you the correct height that you should be when crossing the runway threshold.
The example above is from a UK airport where the terminology RDH (Reference Datum Height) is used instead. This pretty much translates to the same thing as TCH.
I’ve got to admit it was unsafe to land, I was way below minimums when I actually started to see anything of the runway. By all means it should have been a go around then onwards to the alternate, as clouds were so low at Zurich that even attempting a second approach would have been a waste of effort. However I’ve got to get to work tomorrow, so I just put the plane down using synthetic vision until I actually saw the runway outside. Shame on me
Did you plan your alternate? What was it?
My bulletproofing is the Longitude itself, I usually need a fraction of available runway, so even is I arrive high, more than enough runway remains
It was Munchen (EDDM), there was even ATC logged in there and it’s really not that far, had some decent weather too, but there was really no time to finish the flight properly, had to break the immersion and land, or else I’d have to “pay the price” going to work without much sleep, which woulkd be even more unsafe.
The morale of the story is, that one should not plan flights without having enough time for the alternate. To be fair, I started this flight knowing full well, that Zurich had low visibility, but thought it would make an interesting video to spot runway lights at the last second 
Tried again at the landing I missed last night because it was dark. Almost crashed off the runway lol
before landing I’mstil sure I pushed “G” to down my gear …
maybe I also forgot to up my landing gear aswel and I did not properly clicked on the msfs window and the “g” command has not been registered anyway …
It happened to me 2 times in DC-3. Lesson learned: check green light as part of before landing checklist.
I know it’s a really different generation of airplanes, but one of the big allures of the HondaJet was to have detailed on-screen checklists
