Flying North, North, North

[JBaymore]

IanK,

Thanks for the link...... but I think we are "not on the same page" here.......  ;)

The fs2004 "world" is not based on a spherical or near spherical model.  It is reportedly more of a cylindrical shape.  That makes the circumference at the limits of the northern and southern travel "cutoffs" out of scale....even if the circumference at the equatorial area is somewhat correct.

So I am wondering what the "modeled" circumference at the northernmost and southernmost points that you can actually get to actually is (in scale kilometers or miles).

In other words... I am wondering how far "off" flight distances get as you fly further and further from the equatorial area in fs2004.

best,

[quote]Ian,

Thanks... but I was wondering what the modeled circumference is in the simulator up at the point "the world ends"?

Someone would have had to fly around the world right at the latitude (or slewed around) to figure that out.

Or be on the Microsoft development team

[quote]IanK's math is right.
