way cool guys! william

hey what do all you fly on these long hauls? 747 freeware or what?

I used to use the default 747 or 777. I have used the MelJet 777. Lately, I have been using the Simmersky MD-11.

The best 747 with a VC until PMDG comes out with theirs... www.panelshop.comthe V2 Ready for Pushback is fantastic!! My long haul choice by far.

I may complete a long haul once per week, usually on the weekend in the LDS 767. During the week it the trusty PMDG 737-800. Last week I did a flight from Frankfurt to Newark early in the morning for the Big Apple II flyin event on VATSIM. It was great, lots of traffic from all over the world, I studied and surfed the internet over the ocean to pass the time along with monitoring the fuel consumption. FSBuild 2 makes monitoring fuel possible.I have to admit I almost never did long hauls offline. Now that SB3 and FSInn are out it is A LOT more enjoyable to cross the water and hear controllers and pilots with real accents. I really enjoyed FS before but now that I fly online I enjoy it 3x as much. I strongly recommend trying VATSIM to all flight simmers.

I'm the same way. Used to enjoy doing long haul flights but not anymore. Anything over 1-1.5 hours and I'm dying of boredom. Lately, I've been doing lots of short flights in and around Misty Fjord and the Georender scenery.Plus, I live in Colorado: it's nice and warm, so I'd rather be outside riding my mountain bike than in a dark room staring into a monitor. ricardo

The RFP 747 sounds like a good product. Can you save a flight and go back to it without losing a lot of data?

Not sure about saving a flight, might want to register in their forums at panelshop.com and search to see if it has been asked before. Also you can download the manuals from that site as well. A complete aircraft that I find enjoyable to start from cold and dark.

I do flights of all lenghts really. But always use accelerated simulation rates of 4x to as much as 16x for the longer distances.The long haul flights are exciting. I've duplicated some known flight routes like New York - Istanbul on Turkish Airlines A343 or Montreal - Amsterdam on KLM 744.Even on Vatsim, I read on their website that one CAN use accelerated simulation as long as you inform the ATC beforehand.John

Try the A380 Sydney to London!Daniel
