Amelia Earhart
has anyone made a flight plan for her around the world trip in a lockheed Electra (L-10 ?)

Now THAT sounds like a great idea/flight.  No, never thought of it; but now that you mention it......

Somebody was looking for route info for that flight a while back; don't recall is it ever came to fruition.

I flew part of Earhart's route and made a profound study of her accomplishments using FS2k2 but have not revisited the matter lately.

Amelia Earhart Aviatrix. 1897 - 1937

thanks for the link great flight info
i've also found that cnn reported on a reconstruction of the flight @ http://www.cnn.com/US/9705/28/finch.returns/index.html

I thought one was included in FS9

I'v been looking for something to do. I'l give it a go this week sometime.

You want to go on a flight that ends up with you dying?

okay found the route.

just a few problems  ???

1, Still no suitable aircraft for FS2004 not enough fuel, but there is a FS2002 one.
2, I just need to sort out how to get the error message about the thing not to look for my orginal docs folder when i try it in anyone else's computer, (the Microsoft Adventure Basic Language, SDK Will help sort that)
Just kneed to read it first.
Then understand it, may take a while.

Well first no aircraft has enough fuel to go all the way around in one hop, nobody can do it, thats why she landed at airports to refuel, get food, ect. You do it in parts. FS9 has part of her route and its made for a few days of travel. Good luck with the venture. The farthest i ever made it around the world was lax to japan, then i gave up due to a sucky computer  :P
