Just Zooming along - part 2

Your 767 made it all the way over their? Nice.

Yup, and they do it in real life too. San Diego to London nonstop in the 767-300ER.

Nice to know, I might fill my 747 full, and see how far it takes me one day.

Ok, well maybe not the longest flight, but it was still around 11 hours. But I did cheat! haha. just used the map and placed the aircraft where I wanted it.

Actually, the landing on this flight was quite good.... just didnt get any good shots/angles of it.

You moved the aircraft with the map?


Try a 14 hour flight in a B-17 from San Francisco to Honolulu. No time compression, no GPS, and no map. I only used a compass, a primitive autopilot, and my Nav/Adf radios. All real time, and sitting at my computer.

Also, I recently flew from Washington to the Florida coast in a DC-4. The flight lasted almost 12 hours, and I only used my maps, compass, and my nav radios to navigate. I never once used the GPS, or the default map to see where I was. And once again, the flight was completed all real time while sitting at my computer

...which shows that most computer gamers need to get a life.

I don't do long flights like that often. I did the B-17 flight back with FS2002, many years ago. And the DC-4 flight was done several months ago
