Hi,
Regrettably, you apparently hit a key that had me looking at the ceiling of
the aircraft, so I could not view the landing. From what I heard, either
you hit the tail of another aircraft or you ran off the end of the runway.
That's why you got transferred to Ground Operations. The "Cycle
coordinates" worked; thank you. To ensure that I can see the
instrumentation (if you wish to conduct the flight again), please say the
following phrases once airborne:
"Look straight ahead"
"Zoom Outwards"
"Zoom Outwards"
That way I will be able to see the ground and the instrumentation.
As for capturing the glideslope, here's a suggestion. When you ask you
co-pilot for the distance to the destination, he responds with the distance
and the runway's ground elevation. In the case of KDTW, it's 646 feet.
Add 2,000 feet for the approach and round it down to the closest hundreds.
e.g., 646 plus 2000 equals 2646. Then round it down to 2600. That will
ensure you capture the glideslope.
As for PF3 bringing you onto final approach 8 miles from the runway
threshold, is insane. That's far too close for comfort, but I realize
that's the way it is. It's better than RC3 that will sometimes dirsect you
onto final approach 4045 miles out where the aircraft cannot pick up the
Localizer or the Glideslope.
If you wish to execute the flight again, I can view the landing to see
what's happening.
NOTE: You can SAVE the flight after you reach 9000 feet (e.g.
KORD-KDTW-9000-Lear) then start IYP in-flight by simply saying, "Descent
checklist." That way, we can just analyze the landing portion, without
having to conduct the entire flight for testing purposes.

Hi everyone,
I'm proud to say that this time at least, the landing was successful,
though there were a few interesting things that happened after
touchdown, such as immediately asking me whether I wanted to do the
Taxi to the gate checklist.
Robert did ask me to use the "Cycle Coordinates" command, and I have
no audible conformation on whether that worked or not, so I hope it
did.
