OK...now that was a close-call. I imagine there were some brown-trousers on the flight deck after that...

What I found particularly instructive about this was that, up to the point where the left wing goes down ( or more accurately the right wing comes up) it looked like a model example of a cross wind landing . Just shows how important it is to keep full aileron on into wind - something which FS really doesn't simulate

I wouldn't want to have been a passenger on that flight, if he would have gotten it down it wouldn't have been bad but the go around would be absolutely nail biting stuff for all of the wrong reasons. :o
