This trip started out testing the Abacus S-2 Tracker out of the Flying Dollar Air Strip over to Pocono Mt. Municiple and back. I wasn't impressed with the Tracker so I switched to the C-123 to fly back home in. This is the resulting final approach and landing. No I didn't get it stopped in time, but, better planning and a slower TD speed would have allowed me to stop before the EOR.

The C-123 is by V.Zhyhulskiy and I downloaded it from flightsim.com. Yes it is a port, so it takes a bit of tampering to get it right in FSX and that's primarily because some of the gauges are '98 gauges which FSX doesn't accept. I have FSPanel Studio, so it wasn't a major deal to swap out gauges. I also redid the VC Panel bitmap in mine to get away from the poor photoreal bitmap that was in the original.

Oh, it probably does, but like most things I do. . .I haven't read the manual so I have no idea how to use it, lol.
