The above screenshot contains the London scenery fix available at flightsim.com. The buildings are good but I preferred MS's Dome. :(

COOL!!! :-)

One thing I noticed on those photos was that flightsim makes it look like you're a lot lower than you actully are. Just look at those pics again! When I first saw the real picture I thought that the pilot was way to high, but then I saw the PAPI lights, and he is rigt on target! But, look at flight simulator and you will see that it looks like you're much lower!

Nice!
One thing though. I know the first one is from Airliners.net. Don't you know what you're doing is illegal? The way to link the pictures is by "copy-paste"ing the link which is at the top of every picture.

I think the real shot was taken with a long tele lens, foresfortens the picture and creates that effect

Nice picture but which scenery is it?
When I run my version I don't get the trees or the other buildings on the horizon. My London skyline is fairly empty.
Is it FS2000 or FS2002?

it is fs 2002 and you only need to max out the sliders in the options menu!

FS2002 should autgenerate runway shoulders.

A zoom of 0.05 in FS2002 is apparently more realistic than the default of 1.00. This might give a similar view as in the photo. You can change it in 'view options'

I knew that London City had a steep descent angle (what, 5 or 5.5 deg?), but holy moocow! If I were lucky enough to be sitting in the jump seat, I'd poo all the way to the threshold!

I think the first photograph is a bit misguiding. The plane cannot be that high and that near and still be on the glideslope that perfectly. I think it's because of the zoom of the camera, the plane is further.
