Following on with the BAE thread... Decided to give it a go in a 737, and succeed

Sat on the runway with route programmed (just a circuit)

Minimum Fuel and a Headwind also helps. I dont know what payload he had on, but it could have been 0 since his pax were 0.

Flew empty, 0 pax, 0 cargo, 5% fuel.

Max autobrake, spoilers and max reverse helped stop

If the trend is heading for flying smaller planes, then how about a Piper Cub? :lol:  Cessna Caravan :lol:

You can't even land a Beech King Air.  And when you do land, its on the grass, never the runway :lol:

I know this thread is old but I just bought FSX today and takeoffs and landings here was one of the first things I tried. I used empty aircraft with only 4-5% fuel.

My first attempt was the ingame 737-800, which was very easy. These pics show were I stopped.

(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t101/cameronpapps/tooeasy738.jpg)

My second attempt was the 747-400, the takeoff was very close, I probably clipped the fence with the main landing gear.
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t101/cameronpapps/744.jpg)
And here's where I stopped.

My last attempt was using Camsim's beautiful Boeing 700 concept aircraft (777 and 747 replacement concept)
I misjudged my altitude and landed about 100-150m down the runway.
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t101/cameronpapps/b700justlanding.jpg)
But I still had plenty of runway to spare when I stopped.

IMO not bad for a first try, considering I haven't played FSX much  :D
