January 17, 201214 yr Assuming I could fill the tank up every 300 NM or so, how long would it take to reach the west coast of the US? Taking off from say....Hilo International Airport as an example.
January 17, 201214 yr plus same time back to Hawaii because you cannot land on the west coast :-) Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

January 17, 201214 yr Author Front wind or tail wind?Head or tail wind?I was waiting for someone to ask that. Lets say a 10 knot tailwind, as a little help :)
January 17, 201214 yr Author ok, got bored of waiting for an answer. Fsau wasn't far off. I reckon about 23 hours and 40 minutes with a cruising speed of eighty kts. A distance of approximately 2129 nautical miles to KLAX. Not forgetting the 10 knot tail wind of course!Might give it a try. I'll let you know what I find, unless I forget to top up the fuel and end up ditching somewhere in the pacific...Edit: why can't i write 'eighty' in numbers without it showing a smiley?

January 17, 201214 yr How many kts? :( Edited January 17, 201214 yr by pstrub My simming system: AMD Ryzen 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, LG 38" 3840x1600
January 17, 201214 yr I know how to calculate myself - but his 8 0 (eighty) written in numbers resulted in a smiley , which was kind of funny. Ok, back to topic...Edit: BTW, nice flying calculator!

January 17, 201214 yr It would take about an hour and then you would hit the edge of the 'world'. Ever seen 'The Truman Show'? :(I was thinking that since flight simulation seems to be regressing, maybe in Flight the Earth is still flat and you might fall off the edge... Cheers, Jonathan

Otherwise you're SOF (just like SOL, but for Fuel).Cheers,- jahman.
