My NGX will just get hammerd around an airport to start with while I learn the handling and system logic, that's how I always test my new planes, then I will take it into revenue service with any cool carrier on a fun route of Bo more than 200 nm.

I'm doing KBFI - TBPB. I think I'll have to do it with 1 stop.I thought I was going far until I saw someone say earlier they're going to FAJS.Now that is a long haul!

My first flight well be a test flight aorund KFBI to try the aircraft, after this i'll do a flight from boeing field to island for refueling and after this direct to malpensa.

That's quite simple. Just make a stop in KBOS (for example) to refuel your aircraft. Then you can continue your flight.

Oh didn't Robert tell you guys? Since PMDG are so good at simulating th real thing, they want to simulate delivery dates as well. So even if you are the very first person to buy the NGX you won't get the delivery for about a month. Now that would be mean!JackColwill

As I typed at the first page, here are the real routes from BFI to AMSDelivery flights for Transavia.com (real flights!)PH-HSD19APR11 HV056 73H P BFI KEF 18:00 01:30/119APR11 HV056 73H P KEF AMS 02:10 05:00PH-HSE11MAY11 HV054 73H P BFI KEF 19:00 02:30/112MAY11 HV054 73H P KEF AMS 03:15 06:05 Transavia first flies to Keflavik (Iceland/BIKF), put some fuel in the tanks and then continues the flight to Amsterdam.

First some flight training in Seattle. Then off to Stockholm/Arlanda (ESSA) via Keflavik/Iceland (via Greenland?). Haven't calculated distances vs fuel yet.But first of all, I will need to set up my two Saitek quads to match the NGX pedestal as close as possible.

To a site where I can do some practice touch n goes, low pass etc. Just to get used to the plane.Joe Barton

now now lying is not good , have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?

Kmdw will be my destination from BFI!

I have a feeling it will be the first tutorial flight for many - any guesses on what route it uses?

The 737NGX comes with a tutorial? :(

JFK-BOS or reversed?

Why always US and Europe? :( Come to Brazil! We have nice weather, nice food, nice women. Just once. Why not? That would be nice.
