My biggest fears about doing these 12+ Ultra Long Haul Flights is the Sim crashing. Doesn't do it often for me but knowing my luck! Yesterday after my oceanic clearance BAM it freezes yet squawk box is still working? That's the program that normally makes it crash anyway. Luckily I just left it for 15 minutes and it unfroze! On FS9 I had done OMDB-KJFK and before T/D FS9 closed, pretty annoying after 13hrs Airborne!

I suppose it would be a Delta -800NG KMSP-KLAX followed by VA-12 from KLAX to YMML (that's actually a -300ER). My wife and I took that route in January to visit our daughter in Warrnambool, VIC. Although I don't know why I want to repeat it, other than Virgin Australia made the 15 hours as pleasant as possible. I'd probably go to bed and finish the flight the next morning. Now, I need to get back to the J41 and try to figure out why the left engine wouldn't start the first time and then burst into flames on my second attempt.

Ensure that the props are on the start locks. Watch your EGT.

Probably something exotic for me. I usually stay in the states with our VA, but I would probably be flying our Canadian routes more and getting that Piedmont Triad or Memphis to Keflavik route warmed up.

 

Can't wait!

American Airlines rulez!

 

DFW-GRU, JFK-GRU, MIA-GRU and sometimes MIA-GIG. :D

 

Oh, almost forget the Aerologic routes when the -F released!

really looking foward to crazy cargo runs in the F....ie Bombay to Area 51 with a load of Bollywood VHS tapes and bootleg ABBA CDs for the aliens. :Just Kidding: Area 51 to Heathrow with towels and vogon poetry for any Douglas Adams geeks here.. :Nerd:

 

Don't Panic!

I'd like to do EGKK - EGLC :P

Be careful when calculating fuel requirements:-) You can easily find yourself in a ditching into the bottomless depths of the mighty Thames:-)

OMDB-KDFW since i was on the 1st flight

Whoa, great topic! Well, i'd like to do some ACA routes from YYZ/YVR to Asia/Europe/Oceania. KLM (when 777-200ER and -300ER are released) routes from and to AMS. Singapore Airlines routes from SIN to Europe and America. Whoa there's too many!

So I thought of my first Flights with the 77L (have some of the Flight Plans already ready!)

 

First ones with the 77L with Emirates & Air Canada:

First official Flight will be EGLL-OMDB

OMDB-KLAX - Return (Polar)

OMDB-YSSY - Return

OMDB-YBBN-NZAA Return

OMDB-EGBB Return

OMDB-EGSS Return

OMDB-EGKK Return

OMDB-EGLL Return

OMDB-KJFK Return

CYVR-EGLL Return

CYYZ-EGLL Return

CYUL-EGLL Return

Lots more to follow..

 

The 77W I'll be flying mostly with British Airways & Emirates. Also some ANZ and few others maybe but I want to do most BAW 777 routes even if they're operated by the 772 ;)

 

777-200/ER there will be so many! I also would do some Freighter Flights with Fedex if PMDG release it in the future, I suspect they should seeing it's really just a modded 77L!

 

I'm so excited!!

Heathrow to Doha (Qatar) and then on to Bangkok with Qatar Airways. Pity there is no scenery for Doha either.

 

I know! I haven't been able to get any actual Qatar scenery other than Al-Udeid AB and that took serious detective skills to find.

 

I honestly am trying to make sense of the half-assed submissions that some have uploaded for OTBD(OTHH) but there's no real Qatari scenery for FS9/FSX. Its so sad :(

For me i must say:

 

Air New Zealand, 77W, KPAE-KLAX, ANZ6391, 2:30

Air New Zealand, 77W, KLAX-NZAA, ANZ1, 12:13

Air New Zealand, 77W, NZAA-YSSY, ANZ119, 3:10

Air Canada, 77L, YSSY-CYVR, ACA34, 13:58

Air Canada, 77L, CYVR-CYYZ, ACA34, 4:00

Air Canada, 77L, CYYZ-VHHH, ACA15, 14:16

Singapore, 77W, VHHH-WSSS, SIA865, 3:20

Emirates, 77L, WSSS-YSSY, UAE9824, 7:29

 

Put close to 61hrs, just a few, in my log book :P

I will be looking fowared to using Fly Tampas new Montreal scenery for my 777 long haul routes ,I will probably do routes to Hong kong ,Frankfurt and Londan etc.

 

I really hope a company such as Aerosoft will bring out a new Dubai scenery for FSX , in my opinion it is long overdue and would really complete alot of peoples collection, including my own. I really want this scenry for the Emirates routhes , really want to fly there -300ER around the world..

 

Like others,the Air Canada -200LR would inspire me to do the polar routh, would be interesting going over the Artic , because I never fly there usuallly .

 

A few freight runs such as Stansted to Anchorage with FedEx will probably be on the agenda aswell.

Definatly when( its good not to think about the possability that that the 200(ER) version wont be modeled) the 200ER is released i will be flying BA219 :Hug:

 

AHHHHHH, how i lobve that flight (ideally with -YMMS or -MT )

with the LR delta routes on American Domestics then going out, maybe, like,Atlanta, TNCM, Honululu would be intresting....

with the 300ER, BA to Narita from LHR and AC To Vancouver

 

THEN with a mix:

BA 772ER LHR-DEN

UA 772 DEN-LAX

VA 773ER LAX-SYD

CX 773ER SYD-HKG

EK 773 HKG-DUB

Singapore 77(?*) DUB-Singapore (i know im heading back into Asia, but, more flying the better!)

ANA 773 Singapore-NRT

BA 773ER NRT-LHR

 

 

* - Not sure which Varient yet
