May 11, 20224 yr One of the few reasons I was looking forward to the 700 and the forthcoming 600 was as a true long range (7000NM plus) aircraft to enable global operations. As far as I can see this does not appear the case. We are left with a standard range aircraft which would have difficulty flying extended ops in Australia or even Trans Tasman. Please tell me I am wrong as we are left with a big CJ3 range rather than one that competes with the Global 8000 and if provided with a cargo door as many are makes a very versitile combo platform. https://thepointsguy.com/news/vip-bbj-737/ Edited May 11, 20224 yr by harrry Harry Woodrow

May 11, 20224 yr Just tried setting up the BBJ with maximum tanks - no problem here. EKCH to WSSS. No insufficuent fuel.

If you believe the world map..you will run out of fuel round Srinigar. Simbrief however is much more generous. It is looking a lot more promising.

May 11, 20224 yr Just planned LFMN-KDEN (GND DIST 4922 NM). 32400 kg loaded into the BBJ (5 FWD and 4 AFT AUX Tanks --> Maximum is 32505 kg), Wind Uplink from Simbrief, gives me a cool 4 tonnes extra in Denver. Western Europe to US West Coast is definitely in the cards with the BBJ, provided you configure the AUX tanks in the FMC. If you're topped up, you can't take 64 PAX, obviously. But I just had about a 1 t of margin to MTOW when loaded with 10 PAX. Check out what the real 9H-ELF does on FR24, LBG-VNY no problem. Intel i7-10700K @ 4.7 GHz | Nvidia RTX 3070 FE | 32GB DDR4 RAM

With 4 people on board you are only short 4000 lbs The important thing is that everything looks good in the FMS of the actual plane. Nevermind what world map says. Maybe it can't handle different configs for the same livery and only reads the default setup. With PMDG the sim's own fuel planning and route planning is irrelevant. Edited May 11, 20224 yr by andreh
