I was so busy taking screenshots and admiring view of Tauranga airport and city that I accidentally ran out of runway where you can see tire skid marks of embarrassing backtracking. This is first time in 10 years of FSX flight simming that I see tires leaving skid marks on grass!!!!!

If I may ask, where did you get the B757 from? I've been looking for a good B757 to fly, but both the Captain Sim and Quality Wings versions seem a bit dated...

It is freeware TDS 757 that you can find on Facebook, Avsim, and Flightsim.  Freeware TDS is the only software company in the world to offer working COMBI 757 with working windows!
