May 9, 201214 yr I think in the real world on a long haul flight you would take off, fly for a little bit, let relief crew take over while you do somthing else such as sleep...then you return for approach/landing. In a sense for FS, the autopilot becomes your relief crew for long haul flights and a reasonable FSX substitute for simulated real ops. TJ The flight crew can (Captain and F/O only) fly for 8 hours max (if I understand flight/duty times). Flights over 8 hours requires an IRO. I think flights over 12 hours require two IROs. These IROS may/may not be able to sit in at a flight station for takeoff/landing. The active crew is required to be in their seats for takeoff/climb/descent/landing. During cruise it is a gentleman's deal on how relief times are dealt with. Couple hours on, couple hours off type thing. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
May 10, 201214 yr Which routes... Well I think much like when I flew the PMDG B744 and then the PMDG MD11 I will stick mainly to long haul services based on BA’s routes – I prefer North America and the Caribbean mostly. Think I will also add in some charters into the mix maybe try some ultra long haul services, or flight from LHR to HNL etc... And maybe some high density ad hoc charters with in Europe – PMDG seat capacity permitting of course ;)

May 13, 201214 yr Wow. I can't wait for the 777 to come out... It's going to be awesome! I know the PMDG servers will crash on release day! I think they use Amazon servers now. No more crashing. Regards,Bob Quick
