Flight went well VNAV was smooth, speed dropped to lower band bracket in managed once passed through FL260. Fuel went between 1000-2000kgs discrepancy in the end going to add P2 to fuel factor next time.

You should add M2 if there was too much fuel left in the end.

B767

You could fly the A310, which is the Airbus copy paste of the 767 from a pilot perspective. And, if you study the history of both aircraft a bit more, you would even find that they both have the same age, so the A310 actually should be considered as a native Airbus design, rather than a rip off of the 767.

I think the best way to realistically simulate a long-haul cargo flight is to make a giant pot of coffee at about 10 PM, then sit in a hard chair next to a running vacuum cleaner and drink coffee there until dawn, only getting up to visit the loo.

🙂

That's funny. 

But I guess if you have done it for real for many years, that is a valid point.  Occasionally I love doing long haul.  There's a strange sense of achievement when you've completed one.  I'm not sure what that achievement is - overcoming boredom I guess.  Although,  I get on with life chores during the long haul and check in occasionally to make sure things are okay.  Or I sometimes depart late night, stick around for an hour, then go to sleep (cuz crew rest is a real thing,  right? ).  Then wake up next morning and bring her in.  Although that doesn't happen often.

it was less. Spoke to a few others who said the same.

LH virtual pilot here. It's now 22/06/2023 @16:07 in London and I can tell you as a veteran FSX simmer, now on MSFS with ever growing frustration and disappointment with the lack of High Fidelity, LH airliners and expensive, rip-off scenery and aircraft by the flightsim con-artists and leeches (Captainsim for starters)...The HD787 is unflyable. It's wing roots look like tree truncks, just like that aweful A320NEO 

My short term memory isn't the best. Despite having looked at the title of the thread a moment earlier, at first I thought you meant Lufthansa (LH). Also wondered about time travel. Personally, if I had a time machine I'd go visit the distant past rather than going only one month into the future (just kidding).

But I hear you. I also came from FSX, was very happy, especially with the PMDG 747-400. Perhaps subjective, but it simply "feels" better than anything else, especially anything in MSFS. MSFS for looks, FSX for feel. That's still how I feel right now. But looks can be overpowering too, so it's mostly the BBJ in MSFS for me. Yet I'm still occasionally switching back and forth between MSFS and FSX. On FSX using Active Sky and flying an approach in the 747 in and around thunderstorms, with the weather radar going crazy, and the shake, rattle, and roll is still the best sim experience in my own personal opinion.
