You can find freeware sceneries of VTBS in the file library. There is a payware version as well. it is Armi VTBS.

You took my favorite B747 route!

 

There are many others such as the ones listed below, but not all of them may be operated by the B777 in real life. However, since there are so many densely populated Asian cities, many of these routes could very well be realistic. These flights are pleasant and short, and it is a bonus that they are often operated by large aircraft. If you are interested, I have several YouTube videos of them. Of course the following routes are reversible, and you can rearrange the pairs of cities to create more.

In the south, there is Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila, although I do not usually fly to these areas.

I also fly the 747 on these routes.

NRT-HKG is a favorite of mine have flown a 742, 744 and 737-700 on the route. Will be a great day when I get to take a PMDG 777 on the route too. I don't even have payware HKG but even the default there is something about landing and departing HKG that feels very real. I am not sure what it is but it may be my favorite airport in FSX to fly to. I should look into getting a payware HKG it will be even better. Need to get over there in real life too! :lol:

Yes! I think the default FSX scenery is one of the better ones, although if you think about it, the textures are not particularly great, and there is that huge white hunk of land in the middle.

 

I am too debating as to whether I should purchase the Imagine Simulations VHHH scenery. There seems to be very few modern opinions and reviews about it, and I just wish someone would produce a new payware version. It shouldn't be too difficult, as FlyTampa already took care of the rest of the city, and Chek Lap Kok is surrounded by water, which leaves very few buildings to model.

 

I love airports that are surrounded by water, such as KBOS, KJFK, KLAX, and KSFO in the United States and most of the major Japanese airports, especially Kansai.

Domestic's in a B77L?! Crazy people - all about those fifteen backbreaking hours LOL!

How can you stand such long FSX flights? Do you actually sit in front of the computer the whole time and do other appropriately realistic things throughout the course of the fifteen hours while listening to the roaring engines? I personally like to have at least 5% of my airborne time under manual control.

 

My longest non-stop flight in real life was probably from Hong Kong to New York in a Cathay Pacific B777-300ER, and it was tiring even in the new business class, which was the best I have flown in. The good thing about Asia is there are many high-density, short-haul flights in large aircraft such as the A330, A340, B747, and B777.

The longest in the sim I've done is twelve hours. I was on my PC for probably a good nine or so hours - I've not done fifteen so I'll pre-plan it. Likely depart so I'm arriving by two am latest; during that time apart from the flying part there's lots to do on a computer. Also extremely good for revising; I like to keep current on my Private Pilot stuff so that'll be something I'll do. Could pop out to the Gym or go swimming in the local pool.. I probably spend 75% of it at my PC overall - that's eight hours plus, anything below then I'm there 98% of the time ;-). I get a buzz of long haul; I absolutely love it!
