Does anyone know if it's possible to fly from Port Moresby to Australia.

I've been flying for almost three hours on the right bearings, i've got enough fuel etc. but i never see land.

Is Australia there?

Oh it is there. Mask Rider has some great scenery for all the South Pacific, including Australia. He posts his stuff at Sim Outhouse now. ( Sry boys.   ;-) )

From Post Moresby, the closest point to fly to to get to Australia just so happens to be where Higgins airfield is located. Right on the Point, 296 nm to be exact. From Port Moresby, take a heading of 244 - 245 degrees. At 250 kts it will take you appx. 1 hr and 10 mins.  

Have fun m8. Shrimp on the barby are waiting. ;-)

Thanks for your help

Ok now i ahve another query.
Whats the best way to get to Japan (if possible)

Ive tried to launch from Midway, but my engine splutters when im about 3/4 of the way there (by my estimation)

any ideas?

You are running out of fuel. The only way to correct this is get and install a gauge called Refuel/Dump. If you are not familiar with gauge installation, then you might try one of my Nav.Panels at http://www.brennt.com/hoppers/downloads.html

These Nav Panels are a little pop up panel that I have installed the refuel/dump ga., an Auto Pilot, some GPSs and other things.  In any of the Nav. Panel dowloads are good instructions on how to install this Nav. Panel to any acft. of your choice. Then you can refuel anytime you get low.

Good luck and hope you make it to Japan.
