  • how do you look around inside the cockpit in fs9?

  • i used the top hat switch on my joystick but there is a program for FS9 called Active Camera that lets you hold spacebar and move the mouse! :]

  • crazy crosswind landing for a 172! especially right by the water! GREAT JOB!

  • much obliged! thank you good sir!

  • nice landing, good approach!

    BUT

    you should have landed runway heading, you didnt make the crosswind correction with the rudder.. I mean, when you almost reach the ground you should give rudder to your right, and angle your left wing down so the wind can't get under the wing.

  • OMG GWPS in cessna xD

  • Great Landing, it wass a shame they closed meigs!

  • Great video,but you can't land like that you are gonna flip the airplane over and shear of the landing gear,the gear isn't strong enough to handle that. you are suppose to straighten,the aircraft just before touch down. Great vid tho!!

  • i actualy landed cessna 172 with 25kts 27 gusting..... it was horrible...

  • I didn't know cessna had GWPS haha

  • Better with no flaps

  • you should have done a "side slip" and approached at a little bit higher altitude to compensate for the loss of altitude during slipping.

    The nose wheel should be aligned along the runway, starting short final.

  • @mastervictor123 thanks sir, I got a Metalstrike Pro Flight Stick now.

  • @markvinas31 if you're using you keyboard try pressing and holding Space +use the mouse to look around try it it might help :) if you're playing FSX

  • i only turned this on to tell you to get a life and fuk off,,,,fukkin fx freak fuk off
