What does RTW stand for? Sounds like a big accomplishment though!

RTW = 'Round The World

It certainly can be, especially if you use smaller aircrafts

[BFMF]

5 RTWs and your name on here is Flies2little?

Sounds crazy, but it's true

Will changes his name between Smoke2Much, Work2Much, Sleep2Much. Someone else changed their name to xxx2much, so I thought i'd change mine from Andrew to Flies2little

[tsunami_KNUW]

I think I'll change my name when I become a "Resident" member of SimV

Wow that was fast! How long did it take? A real SR-71 takes about 6 hours for a 'RTW'  ;D

[pheonix_44]

yep problem is that the after burner uses a lot of fuel about 3 quarters of ur fuel tank

[BFMF]

In FS2002, I once flew an SR-71 over 6,900 miles, and it took a little over 4 hours

[pheonix_44]

cool! did u use after burners or did u use the option to change the speed of the game! or unlimited fuel!

I flew real time, and I did have limited fuel. It was over a year ago, but I do remember running out of fuel and making an emergency landing

[tsunami_KNUW]

I've only had to make an emergency landing once. It was about a year ago when I still played FS2002 and it was in a southeast Asian country on a flight from Signapore to Kathmandu. I can't believe I remember it, but it was a really nice emergency landing I re-fueled and took off  8)

[BFMF]

I was once flying around the Alaskan Wilderness and my engine quit on me. I managed to find a small lake and land on the beach. After landing I discovered that the tank selector on the panel wasn't marked clearly. I had no problems after switching it to another tank

Yea, i dont know how you guys do it. I am currently planing on trying to fly KALB down to long island (bahamas not New York) in a Lancair Legacy. I figure about 6 hours total in 2 legs. I have been trying to make the flight for the last 2 school vacations, havent found the time. You think you would if you can get going at 240 something knots ground speed, with a small head wind at 8,000'. Not bad for a little two seat prop.

[pheonix_44]

i don't no what rtw stands for but i don't use time compresion on jets duz i can't control them very easily.

how do you become a resident or platinum member and so forth
