Stop over at Dublin would be my suggestion. Not that I care, but I always did so when I flew long haul just to be on the safe side

Lets hope that Microsoft screwed up on the Cfg file and let you use un-useable fuel in the tanks. ;)

Matt

PS Gear down as you cross the piano keys might be a good idea

No its not unlimited fuel and i only jus managed to land at Dublin...And as for the gear, well i was 74miles away, a bit early dont ya think for the gear!

Thanks!

I think you should get rid of the stress from you flight at some of pubs down at Temple Bar. Just don't go flying again in the morning!

Pull out your "Whiz Wheel" and figure it out. ;D Remember that you'll not use as much fuel for the descent so if you can make it with cruise fuel flow then you should have no problem counting the fuel saved in descent. Just better hope you don't have to do too many go arounds. ;)

Alternative to the Whiz Wheel is a good flight calculator. Several software versions available that run on Windows. Lots others for Palm and Pocket PC. I use the one from Aerosoft.

lol ..I'd place my mouse pointer on the little black aircraft there and drag it over Manchester..........cool or what?.............commoner

Posted: **Tue Jun 14, 2005 6:36 am**

Yes....."as real as it gets".....And as for the fuel, well lets just say i encountered some unexpected heavy thunderstorms and rain for about 3 hours of the flight, which was very fuel hungry, if that had not happended, all happy passengers at Manchester

I wish i had not installed that weather add-on come's to think' of it!

Next time i think i will use the 767!

Oh yeah, the flight landed successfully in Dublin...

, a very busy dublin
