i usually do short flights no longer than 3 hours and i have only done a couple long hauls. Last night i did a 6h 30min flight and i really liked it so i think i am going to now stick with the long hauls. Right now i have 6 hours left till i land in KJFK from EGLL :( . I was wondering what do people prefer, long hauls or short flights.Sorry about the title it should be do.

I enjoy the short hauls as my RL time is limited. Since I'm in a flight simulator I do not have to worry about gas or profit when I fly my 747 from ORD to EWR!When I have extended time off I have done SFO HNL, EWR EGLL, HNL RJBB.So to answer your question: Short hauls provide me the most "bang for the buck". I can experience all phases of the flight and have time to do other real life things. Or, I can do multiple short flights in a day.

Max 2 hrs, and a cargo flight.Central, sud America and Caribean sector.

I'm a long hauler and a heavy A/C lover, it's normal to fly 3000nm to me (right now i'm flying 1932nm on PMDG's MD-11), but i also enjoy smaller flights. I don't really like short 500nm or less legs, can't even get the feeling :(

The long hauls make the flight feel more real for me and i really like them.

In the MD-11/737-8/9NGX, usually a min of 1500nm.I also fly bush in the orbx area...so....max of like 200nm there...lolI am all 6s and 7s when it comes to what I like in the Sim......

I like short flights, because I can make more takeoffs and landings and train my skills during one day :)

I like them short and by that I mean REALLY short, so no longer than an hour in total. :( I usually plan flights that are something like 200 nm to MAX 300 nm. This means that as soon as I have reached TOC I have to prepare for TOD. I don't like cruising for longer times at all. And I also don't have the time sit behind the screen any longer...

Anything, usually depends on the amount of time I have at my disposal.

I do short haul up to 3 and a half hrs atm, but when ive climbed the ranks at my va i'll be looking into long haul.

interesting, for those of you who doing long hauls, what actually you'r doing in the free 8 hours?(:

In real life more than 20 minutes straight and level gets a bit tedious and it gets even more so in the sim ;-)

I do work and other things it just depends on what you feel like doing

i am 3 hours from landing in JFK

I do a combination of both. During the work week, I usually do 2.5- 3hr max. I really do enjoy long hauls and I get to do them more often with the lady friend is out of town. :)Chris K.
