Wow, your running fsx in a vm? Keep in mind that fsx is quite taxing on a basic system. No idea what that would behave like in a vm.

I wonder if this flight is made more difficult for my processor since I am using a virtual machine to run fsx? I really need to get windows installed to a new partition because I know I have plenty of processor and memory, but I know that when my issue seems to happen, engines rev, the thing says that speed is no longer being controlled and inexplicably I end up full throttle no crash sound but Michelle welcomes me to banff. With the airport off to the side which is very odd. I have a second pc I could use. May have to check out widefs. Sounds like a cool way to run fsx. Noel.

As far as taking off from banf, I remember you needed to adjust your rate of climb and make a turn almost immediately after takeoff. Let me did back through my e-mail and I'll see what I find. As far as manual control, I don't. I usually let Michelle do all the work. I would like to do more manual control, but I haven't found a good way to do this. I do have an extremely hacked together way of getting various info from FSX to show up on a Braille display. This requires a second PC and WideFS, but it does work. Its really quite cool actually! You can see your airspeed, altitude, heading, etc, all change in real time.

Do you take the control of the stick at times when you are descending too quickly? Still can't figure how you make it happen but I swear I must make it work some day.

Maybe Robert or someone else can chime in here, because I don't remember what I did to get around this. Leaving Banf is extremely tricky as well.

've flown from kalw to cyba (banff) twice now and I can reproduce the issue perfectly every time. About 30 miles out, after gong up and down from 11 to 12000 a couple times, skiming mountains I guess, I execute the descent checklist. Speed drops to 120m abd checklist is completed. At 10 miles, I am told to turn to 360 and go straig t in for visual on runway 36. At this point, I execute the approach checklist and at the same time, tell Michelle to "Prepare to land on runway 36". She obliges, I think, Oh yeah, I'm also told to descend to 6400, all these things at the same time. I'm in a mooney bravo so climb rate isn't the greatest I guess, so maybe this is the problem. I descend pretty quickly to about 1800 agl, gear goes down, all is green, then it says "man, it's getting bumpy". Engines rev up to full, fsx beeps, and with throttle at full, and iyp telling me that she's no longer controlling my speed, and the "if I don't want her to control landing I should turn auto pilot off", my speed is 0, and I'm 4 oclock from runway at 2700 feet 3 miles away. NOw I know taht the runway isn't 3 miles long, and though Michelle warmly welcomes me to Banff, I assume I'm in Bnaff, in someone's back yard or something or in a mountain, I'm not landed. I know this is possible as someone blind has completed more flights than 4, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or why iyp is getting confused. Is atc giving me the descend too late and I should jsut disregard them and descend more slowly? I was concerned that I'd hit a mountain on the way in as I didn't know where the mountains ended. Airport elevation is 4500 ft, so I'd have 6500 feet to descend which should be plenty to be done in 10 miles. Any thoughts guys? Really enjoying this challenge of flying.
