January 14, 20233 yr I've always wanted to do this in the sim. I started out at the southern tip of South America and am flying north along the coast all the way to northern Canada. By helicopter so I can stop and see the sights. Yesterday I flew for about 90 minutes and it was one of the most relaxing things I've done in these trying times. I stopped at SAWE which is Rio Grande airport. Jack Sawyer
January 14, 20233 yr Excellent idea, buddy. I do presently something similar. I cross the Pacific, but of course not in a heli (that would be impossible), but a King Air 🙂 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
