Longest Prop Driven Route

Postby N723GW » Fri Dec 24, 2004 2:39 pm

I know that there are lot of prop routes aorund the U.S. but in FS9, what is the longest route you can take a prop....lets say a BE190 taking off from GRR, 19 pax -full boat- how far could you make it? How far would it go with out any pax? What is the longest/farthest prop route you have SUCCESSFULLY flown? Merry Christmas to all!

Real world or simulated the longest possible prop driven route would be around the world, which was  done in Burt Rutan's twin prop plane (I have completely forgotten the name of it)
