July 15, 201312 yr YPPH (Perth) - OMDB (Dubai) ~11:20 4950NM Try doing OMDB>YPPH>OMDB turnaround A friend of mine whose crew was walking off the airbridge after arriving in Perth to find out his wife's labor started. Emirates got him straight on the return leg! Fortunately he got to sleep on the return - 22 hours out of 24 hours spent on a 777 ha. You normally get some very interesting weather crossing the equator on that route. They had CB's to FL500 on the inbound! - Luke Pabari
July 15, 201312 yr Are polar routes supported? would love to do that one. quite interesting. Kacper Nowotynski
July 15, 201312 yr Commercial Member Are polar routes supported? would love to do that one. quite interesting. Why wouldn't they be? You could fly a Polar Route in the NGX too, if you wanted... Kyle Rodgers
July 15, 201312 yr Try doing OMDB>YPPH>OMDB turnaround You think doing an 11:20 turnaround will be hard, try ~14hrs each way: OTBD>YMML>OTBD Just a tad longer than ACA33/34, which would also be a killer turnaround to do!

I could see myself possibly doing something like a Heathrow > New York turnaround if I got up pretty early and had nothing else to do all day/evening. PFPX would be beautiful to have alongside from the start... - Luke Pabari
July 16, 201312 yr Why wouldn't they be? You could fly a Polar Route in the NGX too, if you wanted... Wasnt sure if there was a physical limitation to fsx that made it possible. Kacper Nowotynski
July 16, 201312 yr Commercial Member Wasnt sure if there was a physical limitation to fsx that made it possible. Valid question, especially since FS9 didn't truly let you fly over the pole. I took your question to mean "would the 777 support polar routes," which made no sense to me. I see what you were getting at now. Kyle Rodgers
July 16, 201312 yr Looks like going to have to try with c130 and aerosoft antarctica =) until the t7 gets released Kacper Nowotynski

July 18, 201312 yr After giving it a thought, I've changed my mind and I will take her for a visual landing at KFSO, 28L. Ahmed Abdessalam "That which means you can't, doesn't mean you ain't. And that which means you ain't, doesn't mean you can't" -Ahmed Abdessalam
July 18, 201312 yr After giving it a thought, I've changed my mind and I will take her for a visual landing at KFSO, 28L. Make sure you take her off of Autothrottle, and watch the PAPI lights.
July 18, 201312 yr Just curious, on where you all are going to fly the 777 when it comes out. ........ at home! :lol: Steve
