when u crash the plane hits the ground depending on which part of the plane hits the ground usually sinks into the ground and u get dust and smoke, nothing too spectacular but crashing isnt the aim of the game, if u purchase this game to crash it u wont enjoy it

u can save it as you go, thats why it took me a week to do this flight, been busy so couldnt spend much time in one go to complete it, doing it in real time makes it more rewarding when you get to your destination and see the views compared to shitty britain

stephen, not impressed with this particular flight. Your flare on touchdown was much too agressive, regardless of conditions. Also, why do you have your landing gear extended in image 7? you should have retracted long before this. other than that, did you use real waypoints or GPS configured?

lol I wouldn't have the patients to do that... A) I'd get bored and speed up time B) I'd want to do some barrel rolls and stuff...
There's a load of stuff for FS2004 in this months pczone, including some world wide air traffic control thing for the game or something that I'd bet you'd be interested in 
At least it'd make it a bit less lonely in the air shouting 'you wankers' at some american's on ATC..
