Trip around the world

It is hard to control the planes on time compression, but I only time compress it when I am at cruise  ;) Everything else is played at normal time such as turns, landings, takeoffs, ect.

Also your rank as a member at SimV depends on how many posts you make. After you make a certain amount of posts, then your rank goes up  ;D

That's a nice aeroplane atotti! I know someone on here that has basically the same one, except the logo is a winged horse and yours in an eagle. Very nice  ;D

I've been Around the world in a Meljet Boeing 777-300ER in 'World Tour' colors.

thanks tsunami. I just like to customise my planes, especially my favourite. i really liked this colour scheme already so i only needed to slightly alter it.
notice St. Georges Flag on the tail!

Nice stuff midnight.
You do know that you can use the GPS to program a whole route and then tell the autopilot to follow it.

I dream of the days when I have time for a RTW in a small prop.  I would love to do it in my caravan.
I once flew from Kenya up to Germany with it, it took ages  :P .

i don't use autopilot at all

[Billerator]

No, to be honest the GPS is so complicated to use that I still havnt worked out exactly how to prgram it.

I do know that it can be programmed and that the autopilot when switched to NAV can follow the GPS.
