Me and u/TheLastDrifter were sharing cockpits on VATSIM, and he was PIC about to touch down at KLAS. Then this happened...
Addons:
- FlyJSim 737-200
- Smartcopilot
- SkyMaxx Pro
- RealTerraHaze
- KLAS scenery from the org

In my defense... Was my first landing as PIC and I could not for the life of me get the reversers out. Plus if you aren't master on smartcopilot, there is small input lag. Awesome video buddy!

Centerline. Centerline! Ceeeeeeenterline!

ATC didn't tell you guys to conduct a go-around?

It is not ATC's responsibility to tell a pilot to go around if the landing seems "unsafe" for reasons other than weather, spacing, or a something like a closure. If that's what you're referring to.

We were.. hopeful to say the least.

We were past minimums and already did a go around, I was determined. Winds were relentless, direct 14(?)kt crosswind gusting 22kn

You guys were close to the max demo on that one at 22.

Yea, it was an extremely tough approach. Autopilot down to minimums, but it never stabilized. So we took control, and when I couldn't keep it down (partially due to the fact that it wouldn't decelerate), I attempted to take back off... And you know the rest.

Did you forget to turn off the auto throttle?

Not even close, actually. The max crosswind for the -200 is 40 kts.

I said max demo'd.

Way to get that 737 to moonwalk.

Oh, I think I remember this clip from The Challenge of Flight. >.>

Looked like you landed with a stiff tail wind.

Direct 16 knot crosswind gusting 22 knots

Did you transport the world's largest waterbed or something? Some weird inertia. ..
