Hi all i'm going to start a round the world flight come the new year in my a2a b-17 what im looking for is a website that will for example say i takeoff from Heathrow that is my departure airport and i have a max range of say 1000 miles is there a website that i can put my departure airport in and set the distance to this and it will list the closest airports in that 1000 mile range.

 

I'm sure i seen a website that does this but for the life of me cant remember unfortunatley.

 

 

Thanks for the help

 

 

and have a great christmas tomorrow when it comes

Try "plan g" it should be perfect, although I prefer the older release version than the latest. I went round the world in a twin prop. I followed the same route as Ewan Mcgregor in the DVD "Long way round". Was a blast.

Hayden,

 

Go to www.gcmap.com. Click on the map tab next to the map ranges. Scroll down to the Range box and enter the range (1000nm) you want and a centerpoint such as an airport (example-KDEN) like this-

 

1000nm@LHR

 

Hit enter and it will show you a graphic map of the range circle.

 

You can also plot a course with range circles on it to see if you can make the next airport or not.

thanks very much both of you cheers

And why don't you try Destination Finder for FSX, free and very flexible with all fsx database data. I use it to plan my next flights.

+1 for destination finder, fantastic tool for flight sim and free to boot.

 

Search Google for Destination Finder v2, since it is not in the AVSim library....

Hi all, thanks i will take a look at that aswell just thought i would let you guys see what i have came up with so far

 

 

This is after 1hr ish of planning tried to keep flights to a couple of hours as with work commitments and flying my old B-17 i like to take care of her this is just a rough draft i am thinking of going right up into maybe mongolia/russia aswell got kind of carried away once i got near europe lol but so far this is a estimated 220 hour flight so it is going to be exciting to see how long my trustworthy b-17 lasts without something giving up.

 

i have kept the flight plan as safe as i can avoiding ocean crossings as much as possible.

 

What do you guys think

 

i have tried to make it as (around) as possible obviously i am new to taking on such a task as this and im limited to the amount of time my b-17 can fly for im going to try and make it as interesting as possible for myself stopping in places i usually fly to in my big jets it's kind of turned more into a adventure lol :blush:

 

hope you guys can give me some pointers in what i should change or if this is looking not bad so far.

 

Merry christmas to all
