Did you try the freeware Salty B748, the HD 78X, the Headwind Airbus A339? They may not be the detailed "study level" products you are craving for, but they are certainly an excellent way to wait for your favorite PMDG birds. Dont look down on them because they are freeware and WIP, you may be pleasantly surprised!

I was about to forget the excellent Airbus A310 given to us by Microsoft last November...

I mean, you can fly the 737 BBJ versions with aux tanks halfway around the world... How long are you trying to haul?  😁

Thanks, I have been focused on A320's for ages that I missed that there's now a Headwind installer and a HD787 web page ! Very nice.

Surely nobody would want to cheat by using unlimited fuel? :huh: I can assure you that every proud long haul pilot in the flight simulation community does everything by the book. They use real world fuel consumption, sit in front of their PCs for ten hours straight wearing full captain's uniform ("increase sim rate" are three dirty words in the study level world), and never even think about hitting that "pause at T/D" button. They are even prepar3d to give up flight simulation completely if their workhorse of choice does not exactly match the real world type used on real world routes.

Good heavens, Dominique. What are you thinking?? :blink:

:wink:

While I to look forward the a 777, 747, MD11, 767, A330, A380…the A310 is here now and is a very capable long haul airliner, even if it’s mostly a historic one now.

My PMDG 737-700BBJ and A310 have far longer endurance than my backside on this chair.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

You're supposed to go to bed during a long haul flight.

Or go out for dinner, see a movie, and stop at a bar on the way home.
