February 11, 201214 yr Is anyone else tempted to actually fly this flightplan in the NG?Would probably be impossible! i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
February 11, 201214 yr NGX can't stay in the air for 19 hours I don't believe.Well not only that, but because the flight is 10,408 nm which is way over any 737NG's range, whether it be the -600 or -900ER. (Unless the 787 stopped for refueling... :( ) i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
February 11, 201214 yr Stunning! Happy Flying, Clem Wu Beta Tester for OZx, Iris Simulations and Shade.

(Unless the 787 stopped for refueling... )Ok guys, i think you've identified a small flaw in my plan. But just to be sure, could one of you give it a go and let me know how far you get before things get kind of quiet (you're kind of near Canada so I can't believe it'll be that hard to land her at Gimli).:) Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

February 11, 201214 yr Wow! Now that's marketing eh? Too bad contrails dissapear so quickly, that would make a great satellite image.
