Today I completed a 7030nm flight from Seattle to Kuala Lumpur in a beautiful POSKY 747-400 in new ANA colors. Using FSNavigator to make a DIRECT TO flight, and with my new Flight Environment 2004, I flew the entire flight amidst massive CB clouds and had a great time with an a/c that performed close to BOEING book from an initial cruise at FL290 (weighing in at over 850K lbs) to a final cruise at FL410.Everything went famously using my GoFlight hardware and my PC set-up performed flawlessly...until I was at the 22DME into Kuala Lumpur when I disconnected the AP and the SPD button remained illuminated and AT was still on despite turning it off on the GF panels! It was classic FS9 stuff. Luckily I managed to get the AT disconnected before hitting the GS at 4000' but I sweated for a while before this happened.Man, there's nothing like a tiny little glitch like this to nearly kill your huge and successful flight off entirely -- and kill you off in the sim!Well, we still love this hobby despite these annoyances, don't we? (OK, I admit, it is great!)JS

you were awake for 7030 NMs ?

But of course! I flew in three stages on Fri-Sat-Sun in real time. An hour on Fri, 10+ hours yesterday and 2 1/2 today to finish her off. I saved the files at stages and did it while wide awake. I wasn't at the desk all the time; I left at intervals to eat and go shopping locally , and came back to step climb and check on performance. I had tweaked the N1 and fuel flow and wanted to test my edits to see how well they worked. You gotta be awake for that sorta stuff!JS

Yup thats the way, i dont think my PMDG 737 would be able to travel that distance, living in Australia we are so far from everywhere !

You could always refuel the NG in mid air with a KC-135 tanker...JS
