Is this possible in FSX?

 

Can someone post a sceen of a flight crossing, say, the North Pole ?

 

Thx in advance!

Yes, it is possible.

I'd actually like to see some screenshots of it, wonder what MS did with it, Im sure not much.

I'm amazed at the lack of exploration amongst the FS community. All I seem to see is people asking "Is it possible...?", rather than "Yes, I did it!"

 

NZSP is the one airport closest to the South Pole, as in real close at -89.999997 lat and 0 lon.

 

If you want to try the north, CYLT is furthest up at 82.5177778 lat and -62.2805554 lon.

 

Now go explore! B)

I do not have it installed... :-)

I have Aerosoft's antarctica and i have flown over the south pole.

 

Both the south pole and the north pole are points where all lines in FSX converge, so it's a weird place and it's nearly impossible to land there. The clouds are completely deformed and the terrain as well. Even at NZWD (McMurdo) which is quite far from the south pole, you notice the clouds are starting to deform. Same applies to BIRK and BIKF in the north and those are REALLY far from the north pole.

Thx Nuno! Obrigado! P.S.: Sabes..., cada vez menos entusiasmado com o outro simulador.... E com este :-/.... É sempre assim comigo, que treta!!!

 

Abraço!

 

Vou brincando um pouco com o FGear... esse ao menos tem tudo.... mas é cru que nem um pêssego verde...

 

Sorry guys - portuguese speach ;-)

Não há um perfeito, temos de nos ajustar ao que melhor nos serve :lol:

 

There's no perfect sim, we have to go with the one that serves us best

I use to fly the BIKF a lot and the clouds where deformed there and way way far away from the North Pole, are there any North Pole addons? Like anything that shows ice/snow sheets and cracks and water?

To the north, no, not that i know of.

I flew to the south pole (in FSX obviously) in the A380, for funsies! It's horrendous! The white snow turns all multi-colored and lines EVERYWHERE. It's pretty much the same as the poles on google earth. If your lazy, just check it out there

OK so I just flew to the south pole there, pretty nasty huh! At the actual pole everything turn weird(er), just look at the navigation lights on (well not anymore) the plane.

 

 

 

 

Just wondering if its possible to actually plan a flight over the north pole say from north america to somewhere in asia. I saw a justflight video that shows a 777 going over the pole.

 

Thanks

Meh it's just snow and ice anyhow so not much to see. At least the corruptions make it a bit more exciting.

 

All that aside it is disgusting that MS would leave such a mess.

Went a few times very near the poles (always using aircraft that have true heading capability, as PMDG 747-400X and MD-11X), close to N88 something latitude, on polar routes between Anchorage, Stockholm and Helsinki.

 

The northest I've landed are BGTL and ENSB.

 

And yes, clouds seemed deformed (compressed) in one of their two horizontal dimensions (the one perpendicular to meridians).

 

I don't have Antartica X, or I would have gone much south too (and to the Wilkins runway, YWKS).

Yes it's possible with any plane that has a full-featured FMC and true heading capability. Just activate it (true heading) and leave LNAV on at all times.
