Sigh..Completed*

Honolulu to Dubai, stop on the way at Heathrow for fuel.

A stunning 30 hours.

It took 17 hours to get from Honolulu to Hong Kong Kai Tak, and it took 13 hours to get from Kai-Tak to Dubai.

Back when i played 2004 years ago, this is still my longest, but it was 18 1/2 hrs in an A380 from somewhere like china or something to KLAX.

Longest in FSX is like 10 or 11 hrs from TNCM to KSFO, i think i can't remember exactly.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

We have reached our cruising altitude,I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land ... it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.

it took you 10 hours to complete a 3200NM trip :O
Should only take around 6hours to complete a 3000miles trip at around a speed on 280knots, what speed was you going Razz

when I go do the overnight flight, i set it and go to sleep, but i set speed to like only mach 0.76, the whole trip of KSFO to TNCM will take like 8 or 9hrs????????

here are my long flight i do almost everynight i do one of these(with fspassengers demo):

KSFO to Keflavik, not the longest

KSFO to TNCM, not hte longest

KSFO to EGCC, long(almost 12hrs), but haven't done it in a few days....

KSFO to EGBB, long(12hrs), but haven't done it in a few days....

KSFO to EGLL, long but stopped due to almost a crash because of bad frame rates(safe landing).

KSFO to EHAM, 4,700nm, my longest with fspassengers, used in POSKY 747

I never use time compression with fspassengers.

here are the planes i use:

ifdg 767: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/736/fs2004-boeing-767-300-er-southern-winds/

POSKY 777-200 british airways: at projectopensky

POSKY 747

iFDG 767 routes: KSFO to TNCM, or Keflavik

POSKY 777 routes: KSFO to EGCC, or EGBB

POSKY 747 routes: KSFO to EHAM

but these may change, its just i think which plane to fly by thinking of fuel, frame rates.....

I may also use a turkish A310.

How do you answer radio calls if you go to sleep?
M 0.76 is not a small speed. Most aircraft in real time fly at 0.77-0.80
