March 23, 20224 yr 90s, longitude should not matter as they're all converged to one point at 90 degrees of latitude. So, 90S and any longitude value at all. Andrew Crowley
March 23, 20224 yr I wouldn't waste time trying to fly there, there's literally nothing there. Your plane will likely never reach the ground by flying, only by spinning out of control, and the altitude on the ground will be minus 3200ft.

Yes, that's the North Pole but I'm sure the South Pole is equally filled with beasts unimaginable!

The rest have no issues (incl MD11). Need to be in LNAV mode. The big issue is inertial alignment, not actual ops into polar regions. EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12

Another negative for this sim, I've also tried to go to the South Pole, but gave up when I couldn't find a way.

That's actually my plane 'landed', not flying over sea. I couldn't even use skew to put it down on the ground, just had to let it drop for several minutes until it stopped moving.
