Thank you mrcrpl for lending me storage space for this.

If you've seen my screenshots in the forums here is all 10 megs of the approach and landing of a boeing 747-400 at SESM. It can be done, and this video shows it.

Landing a Boeing 747-400 at SESM (Aka ###### HOLE)

Here are some screenshots of the excitement:

You need a Divx decoder to play this file. Mine came with my graphics card. Anyone out there know where people can download one from? Please let us all know. Thanks very much.

Make sure that it downloaded all 10.5 megs. Also make sure your system can play Divx format videos.

i can play Divx, but when i got to the link i get the page cannot be displayed, so i press refresh and the little box on the left with the small media player comes up and says connecting then it just times out....

right click the link and save it to your drive, then open it from your drive, you should be able to see it then.

When my wheels hit I was probably about 170-180, before decent into the hole I was just about stalling at about 145. During decent to the runway with full flaps and spoilers out I reached upwards of 210. It's all a matter of timing exactly when to pull the nose up so that your vertical speed isn't too great when you hit the runway. If you hit to hard you bust the gear and crash, if you pull up too early your air speed is too high and you glid down the runway into the even deeper part of the hole at the other end. (Landing the Posky 747-400 here is even harder, but it is not impossible)

I guess mrcrpl is either having trouble with his site and they blocked the file or he needed the spce for another reason. I am trying to build my own web server so maybe soon this will become a non-issue.

I just noticed this because my email server is down also.  

Hopefully I will have this problem resolved quickly.

[mrcrpl]

The problem has been fixed.
