Yeah nothing like a 5 hour cross country flight and CTD on approach. 

 

Thats my nr. 1 reason as to why I don't do long haul flights   CTDs happens, even though your system is rock-stable. 

I usually surf the web and read stuff or I'll play my Xbox or watch a movie(s). Lately though I have been watching episodes of Air Crash Investigation, perfect show to watch while you are flying .

I don't know about all of you but I have no interest in "long haul". I do not belong to a VA yet. I would like to fly real world routes but really anything much over 5-600 mi in the NGX drives me nuts.

FSUIPC has that auto save feature that I set to every five minutes (and you never notice it). If you CTD you can always go back to where you left off...

The longest flight I have achieved without problems is from EHAM to Dublin and visa versa,  spent the full time trying to tune into the radio, fun in a frustrating way.
