September 9, 201312 yr Tired of wasting time cruising over the vast oceanic and polar reaches in your simulated 747, MD-11, 777, etc?I've written, and released to the AVSIM library, a small utility program that allows you to warp an FSX plane at cruise ahead to a future point on your flight plan. It allows you to select a named fix or enter coordinates plus a time of arrival, and transport the airplane in its current configuration to that position and time.For example, you can take your loaded-to-the-gills B777 from Sydney headed to Los Angeles, fly the heavyweight takeoff and departure and get yourself established in cruise. But rather than waiting for 15 hours (or a couple of hours at 16x accelerated flight), you can transport yourself ahead, quark-like, to a point on your route a couple hundred miles off the California coast at the time you'd expect to arrive there, and fly the arrival/descent and landing without the mind-numbing boredom of the long-term droning. (You will have to reset your fuel manually at the leap-ahead point, though).Another example...you want to fly a polar crossing in your B747 from Seoul to Detroit, but know that FSX will yakk on you like a vodka-chugging frat pledge once you get above 85 deg latitude. Solution? Leap across the pole!With thousands of hours under my belt flying a military transport at cruise over the vast wastelands of the planet, I hope to spare some of you that butt pain. ;-)Quantum Leap V1.1 is in the library now: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=179703Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
September 9, 201312 yr WOW! This sounds really exciting Bob. Guess where I'm heading straight to .......... the AVSIM Library! Thanks in advance for your time and efforts in making such a superb, useful tool.

September 9, 201312 yr thnaks for this, but i have lots of fun using time acceleration instead. Would probs use this tool for those butt aching got to land now flights cheers
September 10, 201312 yr Commercial Member This utility sounds really great. However I should say that don't forget if you already own a certain other application, :smile: you can already do this with fuel and time depleted, and corrected for time zone and weather adjusted and other options.

September 10, 201312 yr I like the title of the utility! That alone is exciting stuff! :Big Grin: Thanks Bob for the contribution.

September 10, 201312 yr Bob, thanks for your continuing contributions to the community. This sounds like a great one. Now, can I ask you to even this score out a bit with the PMDG T7 for me? Takeoffs = 127, Successful Landings = 0, Ugly Bone Crusher not landings = 1. B)

You don't get it Bob. I need you to create a utility that overcomes the fact that I have closed my eyes on approach. :Praying:
September 10, 201312 yr I really like this, Bob, and thanks. If only I could use it with Radar Contact...or can I? Anybody else using RC wanna think it through?

September 10, 201312 yr Sounds like MS Flight "skip to waypoint". Yes, and I am looking forward to using it (if my earlier messages seemed to confuse that fact)...
