November 9, 200520 yr Does anyone have the flight plans for the world record flights mentioned in this article ? http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2005/q4/nr_051108h.htmlI am especially interested in the flight being attempted today using the Boeing 777-200LR from Hong Kong flying east to London (N.B EAST not West). I want to recreate some of those flights over the weekend.ThanksAnson
November 10, 200520 yr I do not have that particular flight but I found this one back in July this year which I believe may have been a "dry-run". Details are sparse and this particular flight never actually took-off however it was filed and subsequently cancelled. Academic interest as it shows the likely route for a rather over-long journeyRecord breaking it may be - economic sense it is not !ICAO ID: N6066LIATA ID: FROM/TO: VHHH / EGKKDATE: 03/07/2005TYPE: B772SPEED: 485FL: 350NAT: N/AROUTE: OCEAN.V2.CONGA.V3.ENVAR.M750.MJE.A590.

November 13, 200520 yr Author I do have one suggestion for those of you using FS Build to build this plan though. THe point V3 comes twice in the flightplan and it seems to be throwing FS build off a bit. you will come up with a disjointed plan lasting 64 hours!!! My suggestion is that you take out the ENVAR and the V3 waypoints and then build the plan. It will come out roughly 12000 nm(quite close to real life) and 23 hours or close to 24. Happy Flying!! I plan to do this flight over the Thanksgiving Holiday. anyone want to join me in the attempt send me a message here at Avsim. We can do it online at vatsim or some other server. LaterAnson
