August 21, 20205 yr In previous FS versions, we were limited to how far north we could go, about N85° I think? Has this changed? Can we finally fly routes like those shown below, from the east coast NA to South East Asia?
August 21, 20205 yr It breaks the VFR map, I flew north for a long time and never spotted land, but not sure if I really flew "long enough". Also, it doesn't route properly N to S across the magnetic dividing line, it just looks at all the routes as E or W, hence it wanted me to fly the long way instead across the poles. So the answer is, don't know, you can try a fast plane and see if you can spot land on a northerly route over the arctic, I never did. AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram
August 21, 20205 yr Author Ahh that’s too bad. I’ll probably wait till some 3rd party airliners come out before I give these routes a try anyway.
August 21, 20205 yr That's incorrect. In FSX you could go as far north as you wanted, including crossing the pole. I did it countless times. It was only in FS-2004 and previous where there were those limitations.

NZSP gets a little bizarre. I was hoping to do that flight in MSFS but NZSP isn't there to guide me. If anyone flies to the south pole, could you tell us what is there, maybe get a screen shot?

August 22, 20205 yr Author I didn’t realise it was possible in FSX/P3D. I never intended to land, just over fly on the routes shown above so I’m glad that’s possible. Alert, Barrow Island and Svalbard would be the northern most airports I’d possibly use.
August 22, 20205 yr I though p3d fixed this at one point. I may be wrong. FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠 Matt Kubanda, 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 5090@4k, MSFS 2024
